I've just started with him a few years ago. Mostly on the force of Terria's ratings. And I must say that album didn't dissapoint... I just really loved it, and has become one of my prog metal favourites. Then I got the Retinal Circus live album to get an overview of his career, and once again I found it wonderful. Still, I have not gotten more into his back discography, but I did get the albums he has relesed since then (Sky Blue/Z2; Casualties of Cool; Trascendence), and I did like them, but I believe mostly those albums sound like more of the same (well, the metal ones, Casualties of Cool is something else). Still, I guess I'll be wanting to get a bit more of his back catalogue, but I don't think I'll be getting them all (it's a bit too much).

Did you like Epicloud or Sky Blue? 
Classical music isn't dead, it's more alive than it's ever been. It's just not on MTV.

I really enjoyed the last 3 SYL albums, but his solo (name brand) works never connected with me.

I'm starting to put this again more lately, it's Dev's iconic album (beside SYL's City) for a reason! Hug

So if I'm known here at all, it'll be as the John Zorn, The Residents and Zappa fan etc. who is a classical music fanatic and loves lots of avantgarde stuff but I also happen to be a Devin Townsend fan.

In fact, he would be in the top three of my favorite prog metal bands/artists and the emotion in his music has had a big impact. His music itself is quite diverse, (given; not as much as Zorn but I digress) he's touched upon industrial thrash metal, punk rock, ambient music, progressive rock, new age, progressive metal, a mix of country and folk and alternative rock. 


So, who else is a big fan?

I don't see enough conversation on him here unfortunately Cry
