This just in: The Theory of Everything will not only be featuring Keith Emerson, but Rick Wakeman as well! The two gods of classic prog's keyboard scene... together on one album. This is monumental guys.

Here's another update! While it's not yet confirmed, from the sound of the solo, it seems like Jordan Rudess (Dream Theater) will also be guesting on this album! Holy crap, it's the HOLY TRINITY of keyboard playing, all on one album!

Sadly, keyboard players will probably play one or two solos and that's it. The real deal is the the vocalists, pretty good team so far.

Cristina  I only listen to Ayreon from time to time because he brings some of my faves to his works. I really enjoy anyting Anneke Van Giersbergen and Floor Jansen did with Ayreon, so I'm hoping they'll be back.

Written by AnGina-- on 27.08.2013 at 22:19 If they're coming back, I doubt it'll be for this album. Arjen said that there would be only new faces for this one. (With the obvious exception of Ed Warby, of course!  )
