  1. Woow, that’s cool! Those discs are seriously filled to the max. Awesome!

    Not too many new things though, as I only see the new track (CD3-11), and the 01011001 RP video (DVD-16).

    Arjen, did you do something to the songs themselves too, or is it ‘just’ putting them in chronological order?

    Oh, I really like the artwork too!

    Me likes ~ can’t wait ;-)

  2. Great news indeed!

    Was “Epilogue: The Memory Remains” supposed to be released with the “The Human Equation” Album?

  5. Excellent looking cover for the CD.

    Any chance about getting a list of guitar players on the release?

  6. I carefully re-mastered all the tracks, Rob. And some of the versions are slightly different.

    No Juan, Epilogue:The Memory Remains is a completely new track. Especially written for this compilation.

    Yes, I’m proud of Jef’s painting again, Marous, glad you like it as well! I hope it wil sell, I have no idea who will buy it, haha!

  7. I´m so god damn excited about this, I can´t stop jumping up and down!! The whole thing is so fantastic but the DVD alone makes me …… drool ;-)
    And the artwork is SO fantastic as usual. A big yay for this little darling – I can hardly wait for it to be mine :-)

  8. I have to say that the artwork for the cover is the best yet. It’s the best Ayreon cover ever.

    It’s beautiful. Need a jpeg of it in High Quality because I want it has my desktop! :p

    Can’t wait for the new album to hit Europe.

  9. Laurie, the guitar players are Michael Romeo (on Dawn of a Million souls), me (on Memory Remains – solo 1), and Arjen (everything else!).
