In my eyes Arjen Anthony Lucassen is one of the absolute heroes of our scene today. Over the course of a few years he has made a lot of great albums with a number of bands. What's even more astonishing though, he has made a lot of great songs in different styles. Everyone can knock out a few songs in a trademark style but how many can do it when switching between rock, pop, folk, ambient, progressive, metal and many more genres? Well there doubtlessly are very few, and Arjen Anthony Lucassen is amongst them, I ever dare to say, he's best at it.

Arjen Lucassen is mainly known for his band Ayreon, which makes it quite a surprise that so few people are aware of his another project called Star One. The style of Star One is not as similar to Ayreon as you would think. Progressive elements remain in this music, but not as strongly as they can be heard when listening to Ayreon. Star One's music could be called space-themed progressive heavy metal. Here Arjen has clearly taken some influences from one of the fathers of the space rock-genre, Hawkwind.

A song about Battlestar: Galactica would've been nice.

Very good album, but overall it's a bit too cheesy for my taste. Set Your Controls is definitely the best song on here, followed up by Starchild.

My first Lucassen experience and my introduction to Wilson and Swanö. The cheesy lyrics and some of the vocal melodies are maybe not in my taste but other than that it's very enjoyable. Some of the songs like Songs of the Ocean and Intergalactic Space Crusaders are a lot better on the fantastic live release "Live on Earth".
