Found this interesting concept album by Lisette Van Den Berg's band Scarlet Stories yesterday. I literally have no recollection of listening to them beforehand, although I don't believe that I haven't tried to get into her work after enjoying her performance in the tryout session from Ayreon's Universe DVD - I've probably just forgotten about it. If I manage to find those extras somewhere I'll post them, too, for... educational purposes? Anyways, an ultra specific song recommendation for fans of progressive rock and Ayreon. ;)

Reason To Live

Despite the dark nights and the crisp, cold days, the 'Winter Particles 2013' compilation heralds a fresh start to the year with a collection of eleven tracks to brighten and enliven the musical soul and banish the post-Christmas blues. The quarterly compilation series has been a watchword for high calibre, pitching established Proton family artists alongside a wealth of exciting up-and-coming producers from across the globe. In this regard, the new 'Winter Particles' collection continues to build on the foundations of its predecessors. With a forthcoming full-length release on Proton Music for their album "The End", inspired by Mayan predictions of a global apocalypse, Sed Project kick off proceedings with the beautiful ambient textures and epic build of "Cross", featuring the haunting vocals of Lisette van den Berg. Three percussion-heavy and techno oriented tracks follow from Mode B, Ioan Gamboa and, newcomer to the Particles family, Ukraine's Gvozdini. Fellow Ukrainian, Mode B provides a magnificent dark-edged techno number with bass line and upper frequency layers, full of emotion, melancholy and rhythmic sizzle. Ioan Gamboa brings a lighter, bouncing combination of stabs and rhythm to the collection with "Niernes", while Gvozdini's "The New Dimension" is a wonderful collage of strong beats against a backdrop of an arcing, crystalline lead line that cuts through like a laser-guided missile. The next triumvirate of offerings take a deeper groove-laden house approach. Argentinean, Martin Etchegaray provides a warm hypnotic vibe with "Sons of the Plastic Era", full of deep house sensibilities and subtle chord progressions, while Juan Goya under his Sound Process moniker keeps the South American connection flowing with the deep, soulful sounds of "Take Off". Dutchman Nick Hogendoorn follows up his recent remix of Sed on Particles with crisp percussive elements, a squelching bass line and a joyous sense of rhythm on "The Lurker". After his remix of Igor Cold for Particles in December, Poland's Tuxedo takes up a lighter progressive feel with "Eyes Will Tell The Truth", combined with a strong beat and elegantly pan-filtered stabs and airy pads. The new production combination of Ad Brown and Andrew Benson has produced a notable highlight with their track "Impossible is Nothing", full of the dance floor energy that has made Ad Brown famous and coupled with signature sounds from the Benson repertoire. The final pair of tracks return to a more techno inspired sound with the twirling, cascading arpeggios of Dapple Apple's "Hawking Was Right" and the similarly avant-garde sound of Mobilize with layers of glissando lead line and arpeggios that wend themselves across a landscape of heavy-weight beats in a "Reason To Live". Eleven tracks from an impressive global array of talent ensure that Winter is very bright for Particles in 2013.

Scarlet Stories “Vingt Mille Lieues Sous Les Mers” from [Necrologies] 2019 オランダのダークプログメタルバンドによる1stフルから．2010年に結成し，2013年に[Scarlet Stories]，2015年に[Resurrection]というEPを発表．BramとLisetteによるアコースティックユニットでスタートし，現在は以下のような6人編成． Gt : Bram te Kamp Vo : Lisette van den Berg Gt : Carmen Raats Ds : Tim Kuper Ba : Maarten Grimm Vio : Sophie Ansems

Scarlet Stories [Necrologies] 2019 (Spotify) シンフォニックではなく， 結構ヘビーでビンテージな雰囲気を持ったゴシック系．Lisette嬢の歌声がキュートな歌声からシャウトまで非常にカラフルで，ヘビーな演奏と絡んでミステリアスな雰囲気を醸し出している．女性ボーカル版Opethって思う所も．ヴァイオリンの哀愁はあれど，シンフォニックなアレンジやキーボードは控えめでバンドサウンドが強力． アートワークはJelle Steenhuisenが担当． ----- 2019 [Necrologies] ----- https://www.scarletstories.com/ https://scarletstories.bandcamp.com/

Arjen Lucassen‘s AYREON UNIVERSE have released the first full live video for ‘Everybody Dies’, taken from “Ayreon Universe – The Best of Ayreon Live”.

Watch the video here:

Pre-order live today! http://smarturl.it/Ayreon-MLG

Music Theories Recordings/Mascot Label Group will be releasing ‘Ayreon Universe – The Best of Ayreon Live’ on 30 March and will be available to pre-order from 30th January.

On 15, 16, 17 September 2017, Ayreon played live for the first time ever, bringing together 16 guest singers and 11 Musicians, playing 28 songs with performances by Floor Jansen (Nightwish), Damian Wilson (Headspace), Hansi Kursch (Blind Guardian), Tommy Karevik (Kamelot), Anneke Van Giersbergen (Vuur), Marco Hietala (Nightwish), Jonas Renkse (Katatonia), Edward Reekers (Kayak) and many more.

Watch the album trailer here:

Arjen Lucassen is thrilled to reveal the first taste of the show from the spectacular performance of ‘Everybody Dies’ featuring a staggering cast of Ed Warby (Drums), Johan van Stratum (Bass), Marcel Coenen (Lead guitar), Ferry Duijsens (Guitar), Joost van den Broek (Keyboards) and singers, Floor Jansen (Nightwish), Hansi Kürsch (Blind Guardian), Tommy Karevik (Kamelot), Mike Mills (Toehider), Marcela Bovio (MaYan), Irene Jansen (The Human Equation), Maggy Luyten (Nightmare) and Lisette van den Berg (Scarlet Stories).

Talking about the song he says. “I’m extremely proud to present you the first full live video track of the upcoming Ayreon Universe DVD/BD. I picked ‘Everybody Dies’, which is not only a personal favourite, it also features many of the amazing singers and a lot of mayhem and commotion on stage! This is a total bitch of a track to play, but I must say the band totally nailed it! Hope you like it.”

‘Ayreon Universe – The Best of Ayreon Live’ will be available on 3LP + MP3, 3LP + MP3 (Limited Colored Vinyl), 2CD, 5 disc Earbook, plus 2DVD and Blu-ray with 90 minutes of exclusive behind the scenes footage and interviews with the whole cast.

It takes a special kind of talent to bring together 16 of the finest singers from the world of progressive and power metal whilst staking your own reputation on a show that will highlight the best of a 23-year career as one of the leading lights of the progressive music world. And on top of all that, you know you will also have to overcome your own crippling stage fright. But Arjen Lucassen is a special kind of talent.

The daunting task of coordinating 16 singers — all with their own bands and busy schedules — is just the beginning. There’s also Lucassen’s live band; the core line-up of Ed Warby (drums), Johan van Stratum (bass), Marcel Coenen and Ferry Duijsens (guitars) and Joost van den Broek (keyboards) augmented by a violinist, flautist and cellist. To top it off there’s a stage set up that boasts one of the world’s biggest HD screens spanning the entire width of the 013 stage. It’s a spectacular backdrop for a set that comprises of 28 songs over two hours, filmed by 30 cameras in front of 9000 fans who have flocked in from all over the world. Little wonder the three shows in Tilburg, Netherlands sold out within a day.

“I get absolutely crippling stage fright,” he explains. “Up to the night before the Tilburg shows I was having dreadful panic attacks. I honestly didn’t know if I was going to make it on stage.”

“We worked on Ayreon Universe for two years,” he says of the event. “There were literally hundreds of things that had to fall into place to make the shows a success.”

And, as you will see from ‘Ayreon Universe: The Best Of Ayreon Live’, it turned out pretty special indeed. A crowning achievement, to date, for Lucassen’s remarkable career.
