As I said yesterday, I will talk about a special band, a so called supergroup, STAR ONE.
More or less at the time when I first heard Damian Wilson On Threshold, I saw on Last.fm some other related groups, specially related to Ayreon someway. You may ask, what are the similarity between Star One and Ayreon? well both bands have the same mentor behind Arjen Anthony Lucassen.
1. "Down the Rabbit Hole" 1:20
2. "Digital Rain" 6:23
3. "Earth That Was" 6:08
4. "Victim of the Modern Age" 6:27
5. "Human See, Human Do" 5:14
6. "24 Hours" 7:20
7. "Cassandra Complex" 5:24
8. "It's Alive, She's Alive, We're Alive" 5:07
9. "It All Ends Here" (A. "I Think Therefore I Am" / B. "Four Years" / C. "It All Ends Here) 9:46
The song I will share with you, it's called Earth That Was, it's a post-apocalyptic scenario where Earth lost the battle against pollution and ecological hazards and Men were forced to found an alternative world, and how it seems a hard battle as nothing is as how own world.

As it happens With Ayreon, here we have a lot of great metal names, but in this case some not so obvious, some still are, I will talk about Victims of Modern Age Album.
The album is basically, a concept one around Ecological warning, the problems faced by internet or interweb if you prefer, the dangers that technology uncontrolled can make. The progressive part is also present, it his in the same music, melodic and symphonic and then becomes more speedy, harsh sometimes or even more electronic influenced. The artists on this album were:
- Sir Russell Allen (Symphony X) - vocals
- Damian Wilson (Threshold) - vocals
- Dan Swanö (Edge of Sanity)- vocals
- Floor Jansen (Ex-After Forever, ReVamp, Nightwish) - vocals
- Arjen Anthony Lucassen (Ayreon)– guitars, Hammond, mellotron, analog synths, solina strings on all tracks, lead vocals on "Lastday" and "Knife Edge"
- Peter Vink – bass
- Ed Warby – drums
- Gary Wehrkamp – guitar solos
- Joost van den Broek – keyboard solos

It's important to keep our ears alert so we don't loose bands and super-projects like this.
