O primeiro álbum do Ayreon foi The Final Experiment, lançado em 1995 e que conta a história de um homem da Bretanha do século 6 d.C.. O menestrel Ayreon que, talvez por ser cego de nascença, possui um sexto sentido que o permite receber mensagens de cientistas do ano 2084, quando a humanidade quase se auto destruiu em uma última grande guerra. O álbum conta com treze cantores e sete músicos, a maioria holandeses. The Final Experiment
