Thank you for the recommendation.Smile
Ayreon and most of the related projects (including Arjen Lucassen's solo albums) are the ones I have followed for a long time. I think I have all of the Ayeron's albums and it would be extremely difficult to pick a favorite one, as each one is exceptional in its own way. Even if the style is pretty much the same I never get tired of listening to them, although, with so much of good new music it does not happen too often.

One thing I have not followed with Ayreon are the new deluxe remasters (Into the Electric Castle?). Are they worth consideration/purchase?

There are many great albums and songs in Ayreon's discography, yet I believe for me the ones with the more special sound are the duo "The Dream Sequencer" and "Flight of the Migrator".

The Gentle Storm - The Diary - 2015 is worth listening.

Anneke van Giersbergen is a very good singer.

I would like to recommend a few things. If you don't know them already.

Post Rock: Sigur ros.

Prog Folk: IONA.

Prog Electronic: I grew up with Vangelis. Still my favourite.

You might also like White Willow, Solaris (Nostradamus album), IQ. It seems you are more into elegic stuff.

There have been some excellent releases this year. I particularly like Steve Hackett's latest At The Edge Of Light and also Dave Kerzner's latest project In Continuum - Acceleration Theory.

In terms of recent stuff I enjoy much of Big Big Train and Haken's output but there are so many interesting bands and albums I could list. This site is  fantastic mine of information so just browse!

it's amazing how prolific Steve Hackett is
