One year later, Lucassen decided to continue the project started with "The Final Experiment", using Ayreon as the project's official name, and released a second album titled "Actual Fantasy". The album later became the exception in Ayreon's discography, as the only Ayreon release that does not feature a single overarching story concept. The single "The Stranger from Within" from this album was also released. It was a relative commercial failure. Lucassen decided to make one more album, and to stop Ayreon if this one did not become a commercial success.
