Actual Fantasy is such a hidden gem, I keep coming back to it. All those stretched out drone note passages make it almost a trance like experience at times. Abbey of Synn and Computer Eyes are definitely among the 'greatest hits' of the entire Ayreon catalogue.
Servus Arjen, ich mag dieses Album sehr. Doch mir gefällt das Original aus 1996 viel besser. Ich verfolge deinen "Werdegang" seit 1998. Ich bin froh das Original zu haben, denn es ist auf TH-cam nicht zu finden. Ich war 2019 & 2023 in Poppodium, Tilburg: Remember - Forever 🤘 Danke für dein sein und deine fantastische Musik! 🤗 Grüße aus der fränkischen Schweiz, Bayern/Deutschland
WE NEED ACTUAL FANTASY 2! standalone songs/stories with the might of ayreon behind it, people didnt know back then but they know now, ACTUAL FANTASY 2!
@@svenjensen9770 I flew from Australia to UAE, England, then to Netherlands for Ayreon, Belgium, France, Switzerland, Finland, (over the border briefly) Norway, Sweden, Iceland, Estonia, back to Finland, back to Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, stopover in Poland, Slovenia, through Slovakia, back to Switzerland and then to Austria :D Need to saaaaave again
I much more prefer the original. The revisited version makes imperfect what was perfect. I never heard any revisited version of an album anywhere that surpassed the quality of the original.
@@ArjenALucassen I can only accept one revision and that is of the album And Justice for All from Metallica. That album needs bass, hahaha. Okay Arjen, I will let you know, but for me what is perfect is perfect.
@@ArjenALucassen - Thank you for being in touch with your fans. Can you please remix "Y." Some of the cymbals seem buried in the mix, and need to be breathe and be brought out more. Other than that, a flawless album. Take care, and looking forward to Human Equation's remix.
Thank you, Arjen! It would be amazing to have a Final Experiment + Actual Fantasy concert next year...
Computer Eyes remains very high on my favorite Ayreon list. Especially the Aryeon Universe or Marcela Bovio versions

working on a remix of The Human Equation that's definitely better! Let me know when the time comes.
