Where to start with this dude? Saw him open a bit for Gojira and Opeth, and he was ... OK!

Either Ocean Machine: Biomech or Terria ... it feels to me that those are generally good places to start rather than something like, say, Ziltoid.

bpth those answers are probably right, just depends if you want your head smashed in (City) or your soul lifted to the heavens (Ocean Machine, Terria). I would add Accelerated Evolution to the latter.

with Deconstruction, you can have both ;)

I should have jumped on that box set earlier. I tried to buy it from two sellers recently and it's sold out.

I like SYL, but the Project stuff I've checked out struck me as over-earnest... Maybe I didn't give it a fair hearing.

a lesson on how can you make something that's already way over the top even way more over the top, in the best way possible

scored a copy of the Casualties of Cool 3-disc set this weekend (2 cds + 1 dvd) and I've just been luxuriating in it ever since.

Man, the live version of Hide Nowhere from that Plovdiv concert is so lush.
― MaresNest, Tuesday, 4 September 2018 15:09 (seven years ago)
thinking of treating myself, trying to decide whether I should pull the trigger on a copy of Eras II ("Ocean Machine", "Infinity", "Terria", "Physicist" and "Synchestra" on LP).

I was going to make a comment like 'but what if I don't like brickwalled pseudo-prog' but there's a space cat so you're actually right.
I even like the song a little bit, maybe it's time I let this corny mf back into my life

yeah for all that it's garish it is kind of undeniable
― PPL+AI=NS (imago), Friday, 15 March 2019 19:09 (seven years ago)

― PPL+AI=NS (imago), Friday, 29 March 2019 13:33 (seven years ago)
i have yet to hear it but someone else described it as his most bonkers record since infinity

and ziltoid tbh
― jolene club remix (BradNelson), Friday, 29 March 2019 13:47 (seven years ago)
and accelerated evolution
but really ocean machine and terria
"sprite" is wonderful, i'm already ready to call this his best work since the first ziltoid, feels like the finish line for the style he's been evolving over the devin townsend project records
― jolene club remix (BradNelson), Friday, 29 March 2019 14:01 (seven years ago)
(i've never loved addicted! as much as most but i do love it)
prob for the best that i can't figure out where chad kroeger's voice sits in the mix of "hear me" the effect of which is sorta like if deconstruction were a pile of hooks
― jolene club remix (BradNelson), Friday, 29 March 2019 14:07 (seven years ago)
first ziltoid def feels like his sleeper album yeah
― PPL+AI=NS (imago), Friday, 29 March 2019 14:08 (seven years ago)
oh my god @ "why?"
― jolene club remix (BradNelson), Friday, 29 March 2019 14:10 (seven years ago)
i love most of the dtp records but this is the first time his work has felt *effortlessly* dense and gorgeous in a very long time
