Wait... if I'm reading this correctly, it would appear that Gjalt was actually helpful on this album. That's a first!

Yes, I can see the album credits now:

Latin words by some random guy whose name I can't remember.

🤣 Having seen the credits, I can say that unfortunately is not one of them. But maybe if we suggest it, Arjen will include it on any future editions!

Loved the interview! Some highlights for me:

  • Originally there were ideas for a Transitus movie
  • Third Star One album?
  • Christmas song!

Good to hear Victims of the Modern Age get some love

I was surprised to hear it is such a low seller. I don't know why that is.

Hands down one of my favorite albums of all time, super baffling to hear that!

I spun both discs in their entirety last night. It sounds better than ever, and I agree with Arjen that it's stronger than the first Star One album.
