| Monday, July 19, 2004 - Re-issue of 'The Universal Migrator Part 1 & 2 | Latest news from Ayreon:
On July 26th 2004, a re-issue of the Ayreon albums 'The Universal Migrator Part 1 and 2' will become available in stores.
The Ayreon project moved to a new label InsideOut, and all albums, which as some of you noticed, have been sold out and very hard to find for a while, are going to be released by InsideOut. The albums are re-issued in reverse order, starting with the Universal Migrator albums first released in 2000.
Initially Arjen believed there were two distinct group of fans, the prog and the metal lovers, and so he decided to release two albums- one for each catagory without obligating fans of one genre to buy the other, resulting in the atmospheric Dream Sequencer, and the heavy Flight of the Migrator.
However, time proved Arjen wrong- the line between prog and metal is quite blurry. Nearly equal amounts of the albums were sold, and from the many emails Arjen received from his fans, he found out that each loved both albums.
And so, for this re-issue Arjen and the label decided to join the albums in a Special Edition - but for the price of a single album. The 2-in-1 version contains extra liner notes by Arjen, but do not contain bonus tracks as Arjen believes that would be unfair to fans for such a recent release.
News on other re-issues is coming soon!

 There is very little AOR/hard rock from today that can stand against a true and tested classic, Rainbow's "Bent Out of Shape". That's right. Early 80s Rainbow. The band gets plenty of acclaim for t....
