This means that the line-up is exactly the same than in the original Stratovarius album "Dreamspace" that was released in 1994.
I agree that it's great news Jari is coming back to the fold however I think Tolkki's new direction is fine and I have no problem with it, he had this idea in the works before he even did the new RR album, I mean it's fine if you don't like it however don't assume he's only doing it to cash in on former glory._Pepe_ wrote:nicee!!!!!!!!

I think now that Tolkki and Strato seem to talk again that won't happen.NightScreamer wrote:wow.. i'll definitely pick that up, i just hope to odin that they don't try to name themselves Stratovarius...
I don't think tolkki bases his life on whether a few people like his songs or not.one thing... i think mr tolkki go back to old stuffs because all his new ideas don't work...
And AoA from RR already.. then even "Jani's Offering" band with TK... This is so amazing year! 
He already said that he won't call the project "Stratovarius". As far as I know he wants the fans to decide the name.stratodan1990 wrote:this will be an amazing comeback, I love dreamspace, however..i'm very confused. How can tolkki name it as Stratovarius if he waivered all his rights? How does this work? Will it be a new band name? or maybe RR?
It will not be called "Stratovarius" because that would be wrong towards the current line-up. Stratovarius as a band has always evolved, no matter what people say and Polaris is still evolving that sound. There is a lot of geniusness in the new line up and TK, Jens and Jörg with me worked their asses off for over 10 years for the success of the band so it is as much their name than it is mine. I am very proud of those years together.stratodan1990 wrote:this will be an amazing comeback, I love dreamspace, however..i'm very confused.

And that's fucking awesome!TimoTolkki wrote: It is just a "get together" album with old friends and making some...you know guys and girls...music.
I think everyone is looking forward to that as well!I see.. thanks for explaining thisTimoTolkki wrote:It will not be called "Stratovarius" because that would be wrong towards the current line-up.

Blabbermouth is sometimes writing from a "sensational" angle and "Return to Dreamspace" is not a "closure of Strato". I think Stratovarius is alive and well.
It is just a "get together" album with old friends and making some...you know guys and girls...music.
and no, no album could be a close of Strato, because Strato will live FOREVER I look forward to the releaseNaah that's an awful name!NightScreamer wrote:They should be called NIGHT SCREAMER, a song from their old albums

And don't forget Cain's Offering!Burning Reflection wrote:I agree with TT and it's awesome to see how clear headed and mellow everyone is towards each other these days. In the end these are just people and bands making music and were getting a lot more of it! Viva Stratovarius, RR and the new dreamspace!
Of course it's a part of his life. Those who say they don't care whether their music like people or not, of course they are lying, otherwise they would just write and compose music for themselves to listen and play at home withous sharing it with anybody. That is ridiculous.icecab21 wrote:he said they won't have name conflicts.

It is the same thing like with those guys who say thery don't do it for the money. Everyone who says that is a lair. We all have bills to pay.Lurdi wrote:Of course it's a part of his life.

Of course I am lying. That's why I wrote albums like "Saana" and "Hymn to Life" or we did "Age of Aquarius" although we could have "planned" a power metal band. Instead of that, the music took its course despite what anyone would say so sorry but at least in my and AoA:s case you are wrong.Lurdi wrote:Of course it's a part of his life.
