As with his previous "Ayreon" releases, the latest offering from the brilliant musical mind of Arjen Anthony Lucassen is both the prototype and benchmark of all modern Rock Operas. The Human Equation is the sixth studio CD from Ayreon and it is by far the most grandiose to date. It shall surely prove to be another milestone in the genre.

The 2-CD set features an impressive line up of guest vocalists including: James LaBrie (Dream Theater), Mikael Akerfeld, Devin Townsend, Devon Graves (Dead Soul Tribe), Eric Clayton (Saviour Machine), Irene Jansen (Star One), Magnus Ekwall (The Quill) and Heather Findlay (Mostly Autumn). The Human Equation is released as a stylishly packaged digipak double CD with two non-album tracks.

Arjen Lucassen has again assembled an all star supporting cast for what will become the true magnum opus by Ayreon, the rock opera 01011001 . It is the story of planet Y (which is the album title in binary computer code) and the struggle for emotional survival in an age of increased technological dependence.

Assisting in the storytelling are some of rock s major luminaries including Ty Tabor (King s X), Michael Romeo (Symphony X), Tomas Bodin (The Flower Kings),Derek Sherinian (Planet X), Ed Warby (Gorefest), Hansi Kürsch (Blind Guardian), and Anneke van Giersbergen (The Gathering).

Available as 2CD version, a Special Edition with bonus DVD and as a Ltd. Ed. 2-CD with bonus DVD version in high class DVD box packaging.

Dutch hard rock innovator Arjen Lucassen has been renowned for thought provoking, groundbreaking and spiritually intriguing rock opera epics for nearly a decade through his immense undertakings with Ayreon. Into the Electric Castle is a re-release of Ayreonç—´ third album, and deals with eight stereotypical characters from different eras enduring experiments conducted by an alien race. The personalities are blown out of proportion and tongue-in-cheek, though the music itself is taken very seriously. This reissue is over a hundred minutes of eclectically cinematic soundscapes, punctuated by bouts of genius. Featuring Damian Wilson (ex-Threshold), Clive Nolan (Arena) and Fish (Marillion), it will appeal to both fans of Arjen projects, as well as the Prog Rock audience in general. A bonus multimedia track is included containing an interview with Lucassen.

Following up on the success of Ayreon’s, The Human Equation, and the re-releases of The Universal Migrator, Into The Electric Castle and Actual Fantasy, Inside Out Music is pleased to announce the first official US release of The Final Experiment, the third of the Ayreon releases from Arjen Anthony Lucassen, originally released in 1995. The new Special Edition includes a nine song "semi-acoustic" bonus CD featuring different guest vocalists.

Like all of the Ayreon titles, The Final Experiment is a concept-based excursion into the mind of a true musical genius. This time Lucassen celebrates the human imagination with his now trademark sound, a grandiose blend of progressive rock and power metal.

The set features three CDs containing selected songs from all Ayreon albums, and a DVD featuring live performances, video clips and behind-the-scenes. Many of the songs were remastered for this release. Timeline is the second compilation album by Dutch progressive metal project Ayreon. Released in November 2008 in Europe and in the US in early 2009. The third CD features an unreleased song "Epilogue: The Memory Remains", which provides further insight into the final chapter of the Ayreon concept and the probable future of its characters. Jasper Steverlinck, singer of Arid, guest appeared as the vocalist of the song. Apart from the CDs and DVD, a timeline poster illustrating the Ayreon universe and a booklet.
