While Astrid doesn't sound too different than Anneke Van giersbergen, the fact that she sang on Fate of a Dreamer at 14 (I think) at that quality is just impressive. This is coming from a guy who sang professionally around that age as well. It's a pity that she never really pursued a serious musical career when she got older.

Как по мне это лучшее что делал Арьен, т.к. его основной проект такой себе прог, изрядно слащавый и слабо запоминающийся, хоть и напичкан техникой и симфо по горло, но хорошие треки есть.

I'm digging the acoustic tracks on the reissue too. That version of Castel Hall is really nice!

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. :)

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

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.

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.
