It seems that the problem in some of your videos only occurs in Finland, they have something from ''INgrooves'' company and thus i can't view them.

I mean, calling it "Project Strato" just sounds weird...Why doesn't he simply name the band "Timo Tolkki" and the album "Return To Dreamspace"? After all, he's re-joining the original band for just one album, right?

Maybe because this line up is the exact Dreamspace line-up that recorded the classic album. I think he should just call it Stratovarius because that's what it is.

And it is because of that, that you can assemble three independent stratovarius lineups with no overlap of members.

Yes. And? He played on 3 songs from 14 songs and never played to my knowledge any live gigs but Dreamspace album line up toured both Japan and Europe.

[AAAAAAAAAA]

And 4t Dimension line up?

[Kosmo]

I was about to ask too but i'm sure he had a reason for that.

None of those lineups have doubles.
So same musician does not appear in two lineups.

But for TT Stratovarius is HISTORY!! He left it because of a reason, and he gave them all the rights they needed. Calling it again "Project Strato" is just dumb, because this is turning into an endless loop; he gave up to the name Stratovarius after the wave of rights, so why re-take the name again? Common sense my friend

[Kosmo]

I still say call it: Timo Tolkki and the Funky Monkeys.

Well, IF it even gets made...When Timo is free from his little photography hobby.

session member as part of a lineup is rather lame. the band has had 2 band member drummrs and a dude that filled in for a injury that was never a band member.
