:) 1.07-1.12: Rainbow - Lost In Hollywood ("You tried to hide the tears

but I could see the trace").

[ArjenALucassen]

@Discavage Haha! Well...there are worse bands to steal from, no? :-)

[DeFubz]

As confirmed by Arjen, the mystery vocalist is Mr. Tony Martin, formerly of the legendary Black Sabbath!

For those who want to know more: Mike Andersson is the singer of the swedish band Cloudscape (check out their song "Shadowland"!) and Rodney Blaze is a dutch singer for the band Blaze of Darkness (formely Xenobia), and he sang the song "The Accusation" on the acoustic bonus CD of the 2005 re-issue of Ayreon's "The Final Experiment".

Nice choices Arjen!

I remember trying to do this contest for the 01011001 release and never won, despite being there almost as soon as the news was posted. So I'm not even going to try this time. :\

What about Kelly Sundown?

I loved your choice of musicians, including Rodney Blaze. He is very talented, "The Accusation" is one of my favorite tracks of Ayreon. :)

Yeah, a real "no-brainer". Good ol' Tony Martin. I love the atmosphere in this song (or more snippet ;-) ), very much in the vein of the slower, heavier songs Tony did with Sabbath.

This track also gives me a sort of Candlemass "Chapter VI" feel. Tony Martin and Tomas Vikström has much of the same pathos in their voices when singing doomy stuff. Just check "Where the Runes Still Speak".

Awsome stuff. Looking forward to hearing the album, Arjen!
