Actual Fantasy Revisted Music Ayreon Actual Fantasy Revisted Songs Actual Fantasy Revisted Music Review Average Rating: (3.8 out of 5 stars)   Overrated and exaggerated. My expectation of Actual Fantasy Revisited was high with all the hype about it being reworked with drums and bass and what have we. But I was very disappointed with the simplicity of the instrumentation and the unimaginative composing, bordering on monotony most of the time. A far cry from Human Equation and Electric Castle(highly recommended for proggers) where one's musical imagination was stretched. Suggest this is only for an ardent fan. If you are new to Ayreon, skip this one. Submitted by randy_leehc (Randy Lee of Singapore)  Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
Great, but stay with the original :) Sort of an alternative version. Very good performances, but for one used to the original CD it feels a little odd.
The original is a terrific CD, I'm not sure why it didn't sold well, perhaps for not being a conceptual album...
My all time Ayreon favorites are from Actual Fantasy.
I give ir four stars because I liked more the 1996 release. Submitted by ambushcohln (Montevideo, Uruguay.)  Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
great done better excellent idea Arjen had by making one of his best works even better. I was totally happy with the original (I did not know the drums were not acoustic) and listened to many times. The additions made for this time around only makes this better. the ever changing technical scene gives them a chance to improve what they feel is relevant and they did a superb job. This is what "progressive music" is all about. Submitted by cpmsharp (sharptown, md)  Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
Casi lo mismo Hola amigos progresivos.
La verdad es que esta nueva versión del ACTUAL FANTASY, es casi la misma que la original, lo unico que cambia son las grabaciones de algunos teclados, las guitarras, el bajo y la batería, que sin duda son notablemente superiores al original CD salido en los 90. Las voces son las mismas, que las tomaron del Master y las mezclaron con instrumentaciones nuevas, sin duda que la nueva versión es mucho mejor, pero no esperen que traigan temas mas largos, solos mas prolongados y temas nuevos, todo es lo mismo, con excepción de algunas notas y logicamente el sonido que es mucho mas espectacular.
la verdad es que esperaba nuevas versiones con nuevos arreglos y temas mas prolongados, pero mejor esperemos el nuevo CD de Ayreon.
El DVD trae unos videos con animaciones computacionales (nada de expectacular) unos making off de la grabación de las nuevas instrumentaciones (como 20 minutos y nada tan especial) y las dos versiones del ACTUAL FANTASY.
La verdad es que los CDs de Ayreon son tan buenos que es dificil que se supere el mismo y la verdad es que en este CATUAL FANTASY se supera por cabeza (termino hipico para decir que ganó por muy poco).

$12.55 SUNRISE FALLS, the much anticipated 4th release from Alex Nackman has arrived. It’s been 7 years of near break-less touring, 700 shows, 30 U.S. states, and 3 countries, but everything is just fine in the Alex Nackman camp.In fact, things are great. Through pure grassroots fan support stretching from L.A. to London to Rome, Italy, Alex Nackman has worked tirelessly and humbly to swoon fans one by one with his British-influenced rock/alternative blend. As the BBC in London writes, “Nackman, a New Yorker, dishes acoustic fired gems.†Having toured with The Roots, Norah Jones, The Pat McGee Band, Glen Phillips, Ari Hest, Josh Hoge, Cheyenne Kimball and many others on his travels, it seems as though those efforts have paid off. In this new 2006 release, SUNRISE FALLS, Alex has taken a much different approach to both songwriting and the production of sound. The use of sweeping and dramatic electric guitar parts are readily apparent in tracks like, “Hold ...
