| Thursday, December 2, 2004 - New Ayreon project | In a recent interview with BW&BK, Ayreon mastermind Ajen Lucassen discussed his plans for 2005 now that the Ayreon re-issue campaign is drawing to a close, with a re-touched version of his 1995 debut The Final Experiment due to be finished by the end of the year.
"Well, I definitely need a couple years off from Ayreon," Lucassen says. "I'd love to do another Star One, but then everyone will expect me to go out and play live again and I don't know if I'd want to do that because the tour we did was such a magical thing. I really don't think I could capture that magic again, to be honest, so it's not going to happen. I'm going to be working on a project next year with just one singer, and I'm going to try and make different from everything I've done before, which means I'm definitely not - that's what I say now (laughs) - going to use my analog shit. I've tried that before but I really want to do it this time. As for the direction of the music, I don't know what style it's going to be. I've written some stuff on acoustic guitar and the singer - okay, I'll tell you, it's a she - has written a few melodies. Beyond that I don't know what the style will be. I always try to make soft album, but it never works (laughs). There will be some heavy parts, for sure."
Lucassen also reveals there will in fact be a third single from the latest Ayreon album, The Human Equation, released next year.
"We will be putting out a third single, but the problem is we made a video clip for it a few months ago and it's very summery. Release that now, in the winter, and it's kind of weird so we're going to wait until April or May. Everything is finished and I'm working on a few bonus tracks for it."
