CD+DVD Ayreon – Electric Castle Live And Other Tales

Experience a monumental piece of progressive rock history with Ayreon’s Electric Castle Live And Other Tales. Released via Music Theories Recordings, this Deluxe Edition captures the spectacular 20th-anniversary performance at the 013 Poppodium in the Netherlands. Masterminded by Arjen Anthony Lucassen, this live set brings the 1998 breakthrough masterpiece Into the Electric Castle to life with stunning theatricality and precision.

The performance features an incredible lineup including Lucassen himself and longtime collaborator Ed Warby, alongside a cast of world-class guest musicians hand-picked to recreate the album’s complex arrangements. Fans of the genre will appreciate the sonic nods to Italian Progressive Rock, Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso, and Mike Oldfield, all delivered with the "electric" energy of a one-of-a-kind live event.
