In interviews that Arjen did on this album, you can see how excited and honoured Arjen was about getting Steve Vai to play for this song. It also shows how good Arjen is in getting the best out of everyone. He honours the talent of the artists he works with by giving them a certain amount of liberty. In the case of Steve Vai, Steve being a legend, the liberty was 100%. E.g. Arjen did not compose something for him but just told him “Go for it, play what you feel is fitting”. It’s this kind of trust that he puts into the musicians he works with that motivates them to give their best. You mentioned Stargate, and that was also a topic for a Star One song, namely “The Eye of Ra”, the song that was performed as closing song on the Ayreon Universe concert. A note on the Hellscore choir. It is a choir from Israel, closely linked to the progressive/symphonic metal band Scardust (and band also worthwhile to check out). Hellscore has been doing background choir for many metal bands/projects including Ayreon, Star One, Therion, and Amorphis to name just a few which you have already reacted to. Note that the lyrics of the part song by Hellscore are in Latin and (partly) written by Gjalt Lucassen, Arjen’s brother. Gjalt also does the Latin lyrics translations for Epica.
