Album Description From the hallowed vaults of Inside Out Music comes this specially priced and re-packaged two disc set. Originally released in 2000 as two separate CDs, The Dream Sequencer and Flight of the Migrator combine to play out an epic musical drama: A futuristic Sci-Fi adventure that propels the listener through both time and space. Like his previous Ayreon and Star One titles, Maestro Arjen Lucassen has once again assembled an all-star cast. The Universal Migrator features guest appearances from Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden), Michael Romeo and Russel Allen (Symphony X), Fabio Lione (Rhapsody), Timo Kotipelto (Stratovarius), and Neal Morse (ex Spock's Beard) among many others.

CD ReviewsMost original prog-metal I've heard in awhile Zyzzyx | Williamsburg, VA USA | 08/05/2006 (4 out of 5 stars) "Although some might find the concept matter a little kitschy, the music underpinning it is fascinating. I would even compare moments on it to Dream Theater's "Scenes from a Memory" in terms of being a better-executed musical composition. The keyboard layering manages not to detract from the guitar, which is a criticism I sometimes find relevant to a lot of bands in a similar vein; I think it really deserves it's categorization as "orchestral." The singers' variety also fills out the music nicely, with guests from Tiamat, Bruce Dickinson from Iron Maiden and others adding different vocal textures. Post-apocalyptic mergers of humanity with computers may be an oft-used motif in metal concept albums, but Ayreon manages to make it enthralling. If you can sit down and listen to it all the way through (though I usually replay "My House on Mars" and "Chaos" several times), it's a new and rewarding experience."
