Description

Tobias Sammet has stated in interviews that he didn't want to play it 'safe' with his new Avantasia project, which will consist of 2 EPs of new material and cover songs followed up by a full-length release. And it is clear that there's nothing 'safe' about Lost in Space (Part 1). Right off the bat, we have the album single, Lost in Space, a symphonic power-pop ballad which completely defies the conventional metallic formula of putting your hardest songs first. Instead, the single lays out a nice groundwork for the rest of the EP. Despite it's pop-rock feel, the song is subtle and well done with some good backing female vocals to compliment Mr. Sammet. It's one of those very catchy tunes that easily gets stuck in one's head. Track listing: 1. Lost In Space 2. Promised Land 3. Dancing With Tears In My Eyes-Ultravox cover 4. Scary Eyes 5.
