    Ayreon: "I don't know about Astrid's solo albums, Chris, I'll ask her about it. She did tell me she's working on a new album though!" http://www.facebook.com/ArjenLucassenOfficial/posts/10150396767551152

    I've simplified it somewhat - sure, there are slight dissimilarities. But still - Arjen's musical manner is so recognizable, that all of his projects sound at least similar to me. There is no difference that wouldn't allow to assign all of his achievements to one, certain project/band/whatever.

    I wouldn't say Ambeon sounds the same as other Arjen's project. It has more electronic and ambient sound. By the way, Guilt Machine is quite heavy, Star One is into space metal (electronic sound, very metal) and Ayreon is mixed of everything and even more. :)

    Arjen, Arjen... He has dozens of projects and all of them sound exactly the same. Although it is still quite good music, I'm wondering, why he can't choose just one brand?

    Ambeon is reserved for Astrid and no one else. [2] Anneke is irrelevant here, she should stick with her own acoustic pop business.

    What MusicMagic77 is saying about Anneke is definitely true in some way.. Not much people here in Holland used to know her but these days she's on the radio and TV much more often and she collaborates with these stupid musicians.. she's still cute as always though, I can tell you that :D

    "Arjen must do another Ambeon... with Anneke Van Giersbergen." - Really? >> Anneke became a still average, twelve of a dozen pop singer. (Eh!) Don't believe me? Check it out! >> Asdtrid would be the only authentic singer. >> @fairyglen's news is the best news... Thank you! :D

    From the newsletter: "Hi hanna, You signed up to be notified when we had Ambeon "Fate of a Dreamer" back in stock. We've got some great news for you -- the album is going to be reissued in a new, expanded edition! It's a 2-CD digipack containing all of the tracks from the original Ambeon release, all the tracks from the Cold Metal single, PLUS 14 never-before-heard acoustic versions. We'll be getting back to you soon with all the info regarding how you can pre-order signed (or unsigned) copies. Pre-orders will be running through other merchants as well, but signed copies will be available exclusively through us. Until then, feel free to spread the word! Kind regards from the ArjenLucassen.com store team, Lori and Taz"

    Krzysztof, who told you that, WHO? :PPP Arjen doesn't know the release date of it... but I guess it will be released in December, as Chris already wrote. I would just wait for Arjen's confirmation :)

    Oh, and by the way, "Fate of a Dreamer" is going to be re-released in december this year! It's going to contain studio album + bonus tracks (including unplugged sessions)!

    Astrid's busy living her normal life. No Anneke in Ambeon please. If Arjen decided to work with Anneke, they would probably do something new. Ambeon is reserved for Astrid and no one else.

  • ashflower

    "v Naw, just another one with Astrid. Love her voice." Well, unfortunately she doesn't want to do another Ambeon, even though Arjen does. She's busy being an indie pop pixie.
