Album Notes & Community Reviews

Operating as a direct, heavier counterpoint to his sprawling Ayreon project, the Dutch multi-instrumentalist launched the Star One moniker with this massive debut. Focused entirely on 1970s and 1980s science-fiction cinema, the soaring, riff-driven power metal features an elite, rotating cast of premier European vocalists.
