Here is the beginning of Dev’s included PDF message:
Hey folks, Devin here. How’s tricks?
So here’s the deal: I’m in the middle of an absolute monstrous amount of work, Ghost, Deconstruction, Ziltoid Rockband, Live videos, Guitar prototypes, Namm, and getting ready for tour. In a nutshell: Things are great! I’m happy to be working so much and thrilled that I don’t have to write music that sounds like every other shit ass commercial rock band I hear on the radio.
My friend Brett Caldas-Lima, who did sound for us on our first tour ever as the Devin Townsend Project (Last January with BTBAM, Cynic and Scale The Summit) contacted me a while ago saying he had gone ahead and mixed one of the shows from that first tour. In listening to it, I kind of thought we sounded pretty good! Granted, it was the first tour and we were playing to a crowd that couldn’t have cared less, (hence the proliferation of tasteless ad-libs on my part…apologies) but really, all things considered, it’s not a bad recording and when it surfaced online, people were asking how to get a hold of it. So um… here it is!
It’s a great holdover, and reminds me of the SYL Tour EP from 2003; except instead of a 2,500 copy limited-run, this can and should spread like wildfire. It’s quite a cross-section, beginning with a newer one from Addicted (“Supercrush!”), then harking a decade back to his third solo effort (“Kingdom”) and even further to Infinity for “Truth” and “Om”. But I was surprised to hear one of my favorites from Ziltoid the Omniscient—”By Your Command”—to conclude. It sounds pretty good, apart from some speaker blowout at the beginning of “Truth”, and for the low low price of FREE (and legal), you can’t go wrong. I opted for the Twitter linkage, rather than Facebook. I was actually already following them, but unfollowing and reconnecting worked. Enjoy!
