专辑简介
Arjen Anthony Lucassen (born April 3, 1960, Hilversum) is a composer and musician from the Netherlands and is most widely known for his albums released under the name Ayreon. Lucassen plays a wide variety of instruments, chiefly guitars and synthesizers, but also less commonly others such as the flute and mellotron. He also occasionally uses his voice in his music. Although Lucassen cannot read or write sheet music, he is a proficient musician and adept in technical aspects. He has a penchant for directing talent, characterized by the successful Ayreon albums, in almost all of which he pools together the talent of many separate vocalists and musicians who record their performances individually. This makes arranging live performances very difficult, and thus Lucassen is rarely seen in a live performance, although it has happened (such as during his Star One and Stream of Passion tours).
1992–1994: Solo career
Due to the new found creative freedom, Lucassen started writing and recording songs from many different styles. After hearing some of these songs, a record company decided to record an album with him. Lucassen released the album Pools of Sorrow, Waves of Joy, under the name "Anthony", his middle name, in 1993. Lucassen played most of the instruments himself except for the drums and synthesizer.
Even though the album spawned three singles with radio spots, the album flopped. It is no longer available, and is considered a collector's item. [1]
