The 2CD+DVD edition The Human Equation has been out of stock in our webshop for a while now, as the 2004 special edition is out of print. Fortunately, InsideOut has released a new version (with simplified packaging), and it’s now available again in our webshop.
One magnificent album, the story line, the plot, the music and all those singers. They should make a musical out of this one. Say Arjen… are those your hands in this presentation video?
Thanks Niels!
Yes, a musical would be very cool indeed, a dream come true.
No…Lori’s lovely hands!
i got this special edition about two years ago, and I must say it is one of the best albums i’ve ever heard and watch… the interviews are awesome and the clips too man!
thank’s arjen for such a masterpiece!
You’re very welcome, Nico, thanks for the nice words! Glad you enjoy it
This is my favourite Album, makes my number one slot and has been for awhile now. The entire album probably has more than 100 plays on my Ipod.
I am a big fan of a lot of your work. I love Ayreon and Star one
100 plays, wow! I’m honored, Alec…thanks for letting us know
Arjen: I discovered your music recently and I can not stop listening to all your projects. When I thought it was all said with the music …
Your music is sublime!
Facundo from Argentina.
Thanks Facundo, glad to be of service! Greetings back from Arjen(tina)
I found ‘the human equation’ many years ago whilst watching various Devin Townsend videos… I downloaded the album and listened to it religiously. I unfortunately never managed to get a physical copy……… Until I was searching through an interesting little record store in cope hagan this past weekend and lay my eyes upon the special edition for the paltry sum of 10 pounds (well the krona equivalency).. Instantaneously snapped up and I am a very happy man
You have crafted a wonderful wonderful album which I shall revisit frequently
Thanks for the compliment, Simon, good to read you enjoy The Human Equation. Wow…10 pounds is a good deal indeed! I’m glad the mighty Devin brought you to my music, I’m a mutual fan
Hello, Arjen.
I’m from poland and I really regret that not from Netherlands. You’re my idol!
It’s really good album (like and others). I listen yours projects and you’re my inspire (yes, i play). Thank you.
I dream that I’ll play with you on drums and guitar!
Greetings from Prandocin, Cracow!
I’m honored, Kamil! Glad I’ve been able to inspire you, good luck with your music and enjoy…pozdrawiam
I enjoy so much that almbum! Congrats!
Cool Luis, thanks for your support!
Definitely on my top 10 all-time favorite albums!
I have to thank mr Lucassen for sharing your talent with the world, also for having such a wide array of talented musicians I first listened in your albums then I listened to their own bands such as Symphony x virus IV @ Threshold.
And every album and project are a new adventure to both ears and imagination….I would love to see a play for the human equation! (I could be “me”).
God bless you Arjen!
Thanks Rod! And you’re welcome. Glad I’ve been able to introduce you to some great bands. And yeah, a play would be awesome indeed! Okay then…if you arrange it…you can be ‘me’
Thanks for the kind words. I know you say it cause u r a nice guy but the fact itself that you say that is such a huge compliment to me. Rock on!
My first version of this album was without the DVD so when you re-released this one I was eager to buy it.
I got my copy yesterday and watched the DVD right away with my brother. We laughed very much. Mostly because of the way you explain things, such as your singing and other peoples reactions to Ayreon, Arjen. It was indeed a great ”behind the scenes” and I understand the whole story of this album a bit better now. Thank you!
This is a great album. Keep your spririt up and have a good day sir!
You’re welcome, Marcus, glad you enjoyed the behind the scenes thingie! I hate being filmed, so for some reason I always start to act weird
Great to see this album re-released. I got in touch with Ayreon in the early 2000′, by the time “The Universal Migrator” was release, and was immediately blown away by its unique sound.
I got THE album right when it was originally released. Being a musician of my own, I normally listen to a same albums many times, each time picking up a different line of instrument or vocal to pay attention to. I remember when I got home that night, I listened to it four times in a row. I only stopped cause it was almost 2AM already and I had to work the other day. Then one day my brother lent it to a friend and I never saw the colour of it again. Now I can reclaim this masterpiece to my collection.
BTW, any chance to see the Ayreonauts Only re-released? I’ve been looking for it like a mad wild dog and simply can’t find it anywhere!
I am now devoting myself on completing my collection of Arjen’s works, and I’m specially happy that the albums are being released on vinyl too! I just ordered ITEC and I’m looking forward to the releases of The Human Equation and The Universal Migrator!
Greetings all the way from Brazil!
Glad you enjoy THE so much, Felipe! No sorry, Ayreonauts Only won’t be re-released…the record company is bankrupt. But more vinyl will be released soon!
I remember the time when I wanted to buy this album, but it was out of stock. And this is an nice surprise for me that the album have been re-released, so now I’m waiting for this album arrival. The Human Equation is my favorite album and even now, when I can’t listen to most rock and metal, I’m enjoying THE time after time. I like both music and lyrics of this album and every time I listen to it, I’m impressed by the words of every song – as for me, they are perfect. Thank you for this great album!
P.S. This news had been released on my birthday and this is a pleasant surprise for me
You’re very welcome, Aleksander! Hope you had a great birthday
Hello Maestro!, cant wait for the new Ayreon album on 2013!, greetings from Tijuana, Baja California, México.
I’ll do my best, Rodolfo! Saludos desde Holanda
I am ever so thankful to you and all involved in the making of this wonderful project. It was and continues to be a truly amazing CD. I only wish I could hear it with fresh ears for the first time once again! The Human Equation is that good!! Thank you, thank you, thank you… Hope to see you in the States.
Great to read you enjoy THE so much, Kenny, you’re welcome! But sorry, I haven’t played live in a long time and I have no plans to do so…
