So I've heard. Doesn't it all just sound like Ayreon though?
Not really. I mean, there are similarities because it's Arjen and he has a trademark sound, like Devin Townsend, but Star One has a fairly unique sound overall.
And if you do buy them, make sure you get the deluxe version of Space Metal.

New video:
Terrible video, but a great song. The title (though Beatles is spelled wrong) says it all.

Yeah, but it's spelled "Beatles" on the album. But maybe the intentionally changed it here. =)
Dutch guitarist/composer Arjen Lucassen (AYREON) will collaborate with former THE GATHERING singer Anneke van Giersbergen on a new project. Arjen says: "Expect an epic concept double album, a combination of 'classical meets metal' and 'acoustic folk."
Anneke states: "Yesch!! I'll be teaming up with the one and only Arjen Lucassen for a concept double album! It will be the two of us, a fabulous overall theme and everything between very loud and pure acoustic. This will be something special!"
AYREON's latest album, "The Theory Of Everything", entered the official chart in The Netherlands at position No. 3. The CD was released on October 28, 2013 via InsideOut Music. The artwork was once again created by Belgian artist Jef Bertels, who has an incredible and distinct fantasy/sci-fi style.
Anneke Van Giersbergen's latest solo album, "Drive", was released on September 23, 2013 in Europe and on October 15, 2013 in North America via InsideOut Music.
Anneke van Giersbergen announced her departure from THE GATHERING in 2007. She has since released five albums on her own and with her AGUA DE ANNIQUE solo project: "Air" (2007), "Pure Air" (2009), "In Your Room" (2009), "Everything Is Changing" (2012) and "Drive" (2013).

^^Saw this today; just started getting into this guy's work, and this sounds pretty exciting. I've yet to hear anything of The Gathering or Anneke's voice.

I'd even throw in How To Measure A Planet? with those. It is more mellow (like those aren't? ) and has some filler on it but for the most part it's a very beautiful album (I just LOVE her voice on it).

I love all their albums, but the first two with Anneke just came out at a time when I was opening up to all this new music and new styles, you know, so they kind of hold a more special place in my black-black heart.

I understand, HTMaP? was my first, so that probably colors how I feel about it. I got it while I was neck deep in gothic/doom, power, and traditional metal. For something of it's nature to capture my attention among all that speaks to how I view that one.
