		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Which albums and instrument(s) does Eric Nordlander play on for Ayreon? I’ll have to check out his stuff. Thanks for the recommendations!&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Nordlander is a keyboardist (analog &amp; digital synthesizers) a composer and lyricist.   He contributed keyboards on the Universal Migrator albums, and on Star One - Space Metal.  He contributed lyrics on the Universal Migrator, along with (i&#039;ve just remembered) Neil Morse of Spock&#039;s Beard, another band you need to listen to (they do a great live show).  Neil has left Spock&#039;s Beard, however, to pursue more Christian oriented prog.</description>

		<description>One of my favorite aspects of the group (which I forgot to mention above) is all the incredibly talented guest musicians. I am personally wowed by Ed Warby, as a drummer myself.

		<description>Wow!  

Another Ayreon fan.  Who&#039;d of thunk it?

I first picked up the two Universal Migrator discs at NEARFest a couple of years ago to listen to on the drive home.  It was one of those, &quot;You like science fiction, try this guy&#039;s stuff&quot; sort of conversations.  Within an hour of getting home I had hopped online to order &#039;Into the Electric Castle&#039;, &#039;The Human Equation&#039;, and &#039;Star One&#039;.

Simply Brilliant.

The music that Lucassen writes is so complex, that he has to get the best and brightest of the Prog world to sit in on his recording sessions.  People like Eric Nordlander.  You do have some of discs don&#039;t you?  I recommend his &#039;Music Machine&#039; and &#039;Stars Rain Down&#039; at the very least</description>
