Arjen Lucassen (Ayreon) blaast Star One nieuw leven in
En dat zo'n tien jaar na de vorige release,
Voor de nieuwe plaat van Star One, die de titel 'Revel In Time' meekrijgt en verschijnt op 18 februari, werkt Arjen Lucassen voor elk nummer met een andere vocalist. Alle details daaromtrent vind je op Arjen Lucassens Facebookpagina.
Wat betreft het heropvissen van Star One, legt Lucassen nog uit: "Ayreon is like the mothership for all my music. It contains all the different musical styles that I like to listen to and that I love to create. But I'm always looking for challenges and trying to create something new and original as well. Working within a set of constraints forces you to do that, so sometimes I like to limit myself and focus on just one style. For example, with Star One I focus on the metal-side of Ayreon. That means you won't hear the exuberantly liberal use of acoustic instruments that are so often featured on Ayreon albums, like violin, woodwinds, cello, horns, dulcimer, mandolin, etc."
