Ayreon’s celebrated classic album ‘Into the Electric Castle’ is about to turn 20. For this 20th anniversary edition, Arjen re-mixed the audio to 21st century standards. He made it clear that it’s a ‘remix’, not a ‘remaster’, saying “Remastering takes 2 hours, this remix took me 2 months!”.
The box set of Into The Electric Castle comes with a 3D-sculpture of the cover, 4 CDs, 1 DVD and 3 LPs on exclusive gold marbled vinyl. The gold marbled vinyl is only available in this box.
The 20th Anniversary Limited Edition Box Set will be available to pre-order between July 19 and August 6. After August 6 there will be a maximum of 1500 copies printed.
