(Review from amazon)

“Actual Fantasy Revisited” is the (mostly) re-recorded version of Ayreon’s 1996 release Actual Fantasy. Released after the highly successful rock opera debut, The Final Experiment, mastermind Arjen Lucassen decided to surprise his fans with a more electronic-based album consisting of fewer singers and a loosely connected lyrical theme. To give the album a more electronic feel and digital atmosphere, Lucassen used a drum machine. Lucassen always wondered how it would sound if he used a real drummer and another bass player. Which he realized eight years after the original release. Enter drummer Ed Warby and bassist Peter Vink. Most of the guitars were re-recorded, some from scratch, the synth solos were changed, and even the programmed flute was replaced by the real instrument.

If you’ve heard the original version, be prepared to be blown away by the excellently crisp production. Each instrument is audible and perfectly mixed. The re-recorded guitars and synths are a lot better and more interesting. The result is definitely a more powerful, more fresh, more crisp, and more alive.
