check out ayreon..
arjen luccasen is a genius

cool albums into the electric castle 01100010 and the human equation hes a beast

also check out textures, idk how popular they are but I've been listening to them a bit. Pretty cool shit.

you could always post some utubes, if they exist

Ayreon is so amazing.

If you can forgive the cheesiness of the lyrics and simply listen to them for the theme, it's even better.

The human equation is a masterpiece of conceptual songwriting.



ayreon is best when you listen to a whole album at once for the storyline. actually, listen to the albums in order too. it'll make far more sense.
