Arguably one of the biggest and boldest concept series of albums ever undertaken in the progressive power metal genre - covering in total 5 albums over 12 years - "Children Of Tomorrow" which originally saw release in 2007, sees the story taking the music into even heavier realms than those heard so far in our "quadrilogy remasters" series ("CP-I Criminals & King" (LM314), "CP-II Continuum In Extremis" (LMC316) and "CP-III "Terra Incognita" (LMC318)), yet all the time the bands penchant for accessible melodies and music is to the fore.

Once again band leader and vocalist extraordinaire Ian Parry (Elegy, Ayreon, Vengeance) is joined by a stellar cast of supporting musicians with Parry’s fellow Elegy members Joshua Dutrieux and Henk Van Der Laars along with Lou St Paul (Wintersbane) providing the virtuoso guitar work. The tightly locked rhythm section comes courtesy of drummer Ivar De Graaf (ex Within Temptation) and bassist Marcel Van Der Zwam (Ian Parry solo band). The album is given orchestral riches thanks to a female choir of Erna Auf Der Haar (Amsterdam Conservatorium), Rosita Abbink (Ian Parry solo band) and Judith Rijneld (Consortium Project III) who add a symphonic edge to the material.

Consortium Project IV is the fourth part of a fictional concept story dealing with issues such as global warming and finds mankind in the future trying to retrace its past to understand and prevent mistakes from ever happening again. In the process mankind discovers their true origins that we are not from the world…

"Consortium Project IV – Children Of Tomorrow" is the final piece of the "quadrilogy series" reissues and is the direct predecessor to the critically acclaimed "Consortium Project V – Species" (LMC305) which saw release in 2011.
