At that time Jeroen Goossens was a member of Pater Moeskroen. I grew up with their music during my days at school, and since 2002 Mostly Autumn had become my favourite band. So I was thrilled to find out that one of my old heroes played on the same album as one of my new heroes.
I had to listen closely a couple of times and realized he was talking about a band with a similar name: Metallium. They have a bass played by the name of Lars Ratz.
Jeroen Goossens plays flute on Days 3, 5, 9, 14 and 18, alto flute on Day 2, bass flute on Days 5 and 14, panpipes on Day 6, descant and treble recorder on Day 13, didgeridoo on Day 16, bassoon on Day 18.
It's rather difficult to say which album is the best. They're incomparable, each album has something special. I like them all and can't say which one is the best.
Man, I consider the Human Equation is the best Arjen's album, even when the same Arjen doesn't feel the same, he is still in love with the Electric Castle. Anyway about Universal Migrator he was very discontent with almost all the songs, maybe he expected a lot with having guests such as Bruce Dickinson or Fabio Lione, and maybe because he isn't a heavy composer, so in my opinion Universal Migrator is a good album, but one of Arjen's worsts.
2:40 - sounds like an ending of Human See, Human Do from the Star One album

4:27 - 5:13 is by far one of my favorite solos ever written for any music. It still gives me chills every time I hear it.

Yeah, I doubt he was talking about Lars Ulrich... I'm sure there's more than one musician out there named Lars.

THE is Ayreon's best album. But 01011001 is very, very close.

Which one of UM? Dream Sequencer or Flight on The Migrator? ;-)
Anyway, there is no Ayreon album that 'sukssssss', but I consider 'Into the Electric Castle' as the best album and looking forward to 10101100.

Not really "sukssssss" but i think the weakest is "Actual Fantasy". It's not bad, but not Ayreon, it's kinda "Ayrepop".

I totally agree. Human Equation is far better than what any other progressive band could do. All of Arjen's projects are success, long live to him.
