Album Notes & Community Reviews
Arjen Anthony Lucassen split his ambitious sci-fi rock opera into two distinct sonic halves, with this first installment focusing on atmosphere and melody. 'The Dream Sequencer' utilizes acoustic guitars, lush analog synthesizers, and numerous guest vocalists to explore the melancholic memories of the last surviving human on Mars.
