[edit] Concept

The new Concept section is interesting, though I'm not sure where the author got the idea that Forever had recieved Merlin's message from The Final Experiment; the album's narrative segments were meant to be directed at the listener.

My own theory of the connections between the albums is as follows: The Futureman is the same man who would later become The New Migrator; he might have been involved with the Final Experiment, though I doubt that is the case. After the apparent failure of the Time Telepathy program, and with most or all of the other humans dead, he goes into the Dream Sequencer. Eventually, he makes contact with Forever, who recognizes him from the Electric Castle. Forever, travelling mentally to Mars, finds the abandoned Dream Sequencer and uses it to run the Human Equation program.

We´re digging our grave here in this section: wikipedia articles must not contain original research, which includes the editor´s feelings :-). We should find reliable sources to back-up what we are saying in this section, perhaps citing Arjen himself, or else we will be doing original research. If it isn´t researched elsewhere we should not try to make connections from one album to the other, unless it´s a clear connection or if Arjen or another reliable source made the connection themselves. It´s a thin thread to try to avoid original research. By the way all Ayreon albums are superb! I have a special liking for the Dream Sequencer, because it´s so different from everything else that it shines on it´s own!!! Regards 17:23, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

I´m not saying that I did not liked the Concept section: I liked it. It made me think because I do not own all Ayreon albums (yet). But I think that, as the section stands now, it doesn´t belong to wikipedia. 17:24, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Very true, re: original research and citing Arjen. I'm sure if one scours his messageboard, they'll find something about this. Also; sign your things ;) Kouban 14:08, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Man, I never forgot to sign my things! Something went wrong on the edit, because I alwasy put four tildes "~" after them. Loudenvier 14:33, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

You can also see that only the UTC date and time was recorded. Perhaps a bug on media wiki? I will submit it to the respective developers. Regards Loudenvier 14:35, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

in fact... ayreon is the band that created "intergalactic metal"...so...it's not heavy metal
