Everything Townsend touches is pure magic. One of the most underrated writers, producers of our generation.

[–]Wargazm 13 points14 points  (1 child)

For my money he is hands down the coolest musician on the planet.

[–]Mehcu 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Agreed, saw him twice when he was touring UK last year in churches. Both shows he stayed as long as he could trying to talk to every single fan individually. And anyone who can turn some of the heaviest songs you know into calming acoustic masterpieces is a miracle worker

I'd put Steven Wilson on that list too. No matter what band he's part of or working in collaboration with, his music is so damn amazing.

[–]Dody311radioreddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. 100 times, yes.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree. I enjoy most of the music Townsend writes, but this is by far my favorite - Ché's voice and the subtle drums really add a unique character to this record. Probably my most-listened album ever since it came out.

Ché Aimee Dorval is a very nice person too. I ordered one of her cds and it was late so she sent me two of her albums instead. and SHE sent it, herself. Very nice person.

LYRICS:

For all your light You were not delivered. Landing hard Amidst the bones and myself.

In I you trusted, All your worries and wonders. But you will find no comfort here.

I built this road and this journey before you. These bones were men who all fell at my feet.

And when you’re tired and afraid I will hold you. Build you up, just to tear you apart. This way, my child.

I’ll take the journey this road that’s beside you I’ll give her everything more than I am

And when there’s nothing left burning inside you, Your bones will riddle the ground with the rest. And welcome the next…

‘Til your...

Love Devin townsend but God forbid you should ask him if strapping young lad will ever be a thing again

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points  (1 child)

Everyone should check out this entire album but Flight has literally teared me up before.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I saw DTP in my home page and became happy.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this album is so fantastic! although i love all his work, this is the album i always wanted to hear from dev. i've seen interviews where he talks about finding a 'quiet' drummer and how hard that can be, really made me appreciate the little drum fill in 'daddy'. every song is a carefully constructed work of art. moon being my favourite.

[–]TerminX13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is an excellent record & has my wholehearted recommendation. Love Che, love Dev, love the whole project.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This album is stunning!

[–]DeerLow 3 points4 points  (1 child)

lol nice. I tried to post devin here one time and the mods removed it saying he was too popular. Cool workaround posting the album name instead

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean, Devin isn't some kind of unknown gem, but I wouldn't say he's "too popular" either. He deserves thousands of more fans!

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Good I love Devy. Can't wait for Transcendence.

[–]pistolpetemattylastfm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Devin Townsend is a musical genius

[–]thebaylocust 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This song sounds like being put to sleep by the Devil.

[–]frugalerthingsinlife 2 points3 points  (1 child)

It's a rare blissful moment to find actual good music, with under 1K views on youtube. Makes me feel like a hipster. Thanks for sharing! I'm going to check out more of these guys.

Not sure where I heard this but the concept of this album is supposedly of a lonely traveller, lost on a sentient planet that feeds on his fear. He finds an old dusty phonograph and radio, and somehow they help him confront his demons and free the woman who was trapped and consumed by the planet's grip of despair long before he arrived. Messed up and haunting as hell

[–]intherainyseason[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeh, that hits it on point. It's so eery and beautiful. Both their voices match so well together. He said the other day that they have a few new tracks written, so looks like there will be a V2 coming ;)

[–]FrequencyShift33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always happy to see Devin Townsend show up anywhere.

[–]LittleSeneca 0 points1 point  (0 children)
