Star One (Arjen Lucassen project) new album coming out with 5.1 mix 3CD/BDA

[JanBakker]

Just got a newsletter: Dear Ayreonauts, As you may have heard, the new Star One album is titled Revel In Time. The new album comes more than 10 years since the previous release and is due out on Feb 18th, 2022 on InsideOutMusic. Today, I’m pleased to share the first single and video from the album’s closing track “Lost Children of the Universe.” Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/6ADV7NYDfQs This 10-minute epic is the first video clip/single of the new Star One album Revel in Time. The lyrics are inspired by the movie Interstellar. This is a slightly different version than on the CD. On CD1 Roy Khan sings the lead vocals and on CD2 Tony Martin sings the lead vocals. For this YouTube version I combined their voices. Both such great singers, I just couldn’t choose! Hope you enjoy it. Thanks for your attention! Hugs from Holland, Arjen.​

CD1: 1] Fate of Man 5:29 2] 28 Days (Till the End of Time) 7:21 3] Prescient 6:34 4] Back from the Past 4:50 5] Revel in Time 4:38 6] The Year of ’41 6:20 7] Bridge of Life 5:14 8] Today is Yesterday 5:46 9] A Hand on the Clock 5:52 10] Beyond the Edge of it All 4:52 11] Lost Children of the Universe 9:46 CD 2 features the same songs as CD 1, but with different vocalists The album will be available for pre-order on Dec. 17th and it will come as Ltd. 2CD Digipak, Ltd. Deluxe 3CD+Blu-Ray Artbook (incl. a poster of the cover artwork), and as 180g Gatefold 2LP (incl. the album on CD & an LP-Booklet). CD 2 features the same songs as CD 1, but with different vocalists. Also available will be a 5.1 mix, a high-res audio version, and an exclusive, hour-long Behind the Scenes video, on the Blu-ray included in the Artbook. My decision to return with a new Star One album: “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.” Arjen Lucassen Online: www.arjenlucassen.com www.facebook.com/ArjenLucassenOfficial www.twitter.com/arjenlucassen INSIDEOUT MUSIC online: www.insideoutmusic.com www.youtube.com/InsideOutMusicTV www.facebook.com/InsideOutMusic www.twitter.com/InsideOutUSA ​

Cool looking center speaker!

Thanks bought this speakerset for just a bit over €1200,- so not high-end at all but they sound pretty damn good to me:

 

[Marplot]

Divide that cost by the number of speakers and you have my set...

That's cheap!! I bought mine new for that money fwiw, did you?

 

[Marplot]

I was kidding, mostly, my set is ~$500 USD, decent starter and way better than the sound bar (for shame) that I used previously.
Basically cut yours in half ...

 

[marpow]

Great news Jan, that means mine is on the way.

 

[JanBakker]

You'll love it, topnotch surround mix and the sound quality is pretty damn good too

 

[SHB]

I ordered a copy a couple days ago. I should get it on the 23rd. Looking forward to it and glad to hear the mix and sound quality is pretty damn good!
