    Dear Arjen, I must sincerely make my apologize to you. I worked in the Dutch music industry ( most of the time as a sound engineer in Hilversum) for 30 years and totally missed you. How can that be???? I am shocked. It feels like I threw my life away. Always in jazz music....Fortunately I discovered ( and I was in total shock) Floor Jansen and Nightwish half a year ago ( can you imagine, I am 67). They blew half my head away. And via them and UA-cam they got me on track towards you!!! And you blew the remainders of my head away. What have I missed.... Fortunately today I was able to purchase tickets for the upcoming Tilburg event!!! How lucky I am. Are you aware that by giving so much joy via your music you are bringing tons of health to people? These days I shed so many tears of pure joy listening. And that can only be healthy! Five Arjen songs a day keeps the doctors away 🎉. Thank you for your exsistance.

    Oh dear Arjen, I’m in tears! I have just traveled through time and remembered myself when I was a 16 year old teenager who got into his first Ayreon record (Into The Electric Castle) . How my mind got blown after playing just a few songs. This just brings up all those emotions again. What a pleasure to be alive and to be able to enjoy your work and talent.

      @@rcmartins He didn't flub his lines. The lines were intentionally different (written in part by De Lancie himself) from the album in order to make for a more coherent narrative. Arjen agreed. In the DVD extras Arjen mentions that people go in expecting it to be identical to the original album, so any tweaking of the narrative must be done with care and it must be done well. I think they achieved that. I especially liked what they did with the Egyptian and Futureman. They couldn't have done that if they'd kept strictly to album script.

      And it's always been the prog groups giving the flute its platform in "rock" music.

    1:20 fuck that's the tightest, grooviest, most creative, most on-spot live guitar part I've heard in a while, and I've seen a bunch of jam sessions by Normans Rare Guitars with Michael Lemmo !!!!

    The first time I walked down the path of the Eltric Castle I was checking out to see why Fish had venture there. I got lost in the Castle and have been wandering the Ayreon Universe ever since, still haven't found a good way to exit. I am amazed still at how much more of there really is. Thanks so much Arjen! Next we meet the beer will be on me ;)
