Devin Townsend

I just woke up, checked my phone, saw seven copies of the 2CD left, so I jumped up and ran to the office...and they were sold out. I few minutes later I refreshed and it said one was available, so I was able to nab it. Not sure if they added more of if someone messed up and removed it from their cart or something. If the latter, I bet that person is pissed. Haha.

He should add a standard 2CD version, though.

And yeah, pretty sure this project will do well. I suspect Z2 will be fully funded shortly as well.

Oh, and "Forgive Me" is excellent. It's like Ki 2.

I think that what has happened is that he had a figure for the Digipack in his head and it sold out too quickly so he's revised the figure as I've just got one and they are showing as available now but were sold out a couple of hours ago. I guess that nothing has been pressed yet so he can be pretty flexible with the numbers.

I just figured he didn't want to autograph a shit-ton of CDs. Haha.

He's gonna be signing CD's & LP's, writing out song lyrics, drawing funny pictures and naming pets for weeks!

Seriously. He's a humble guy. I'm not sure he understands how popular he is. I was talking to his wife, Tracy, sometime last year and I suggested to her that they do a crowdfunding campaign. She said they've looked into it, but Devin wasn't sure it'd work. Yet all his fans knew this thing would reach 100% in a few hours. Haha.

Yeah, Devin said on Twitter that they were going to add more 2 CD digipaks. I think you're both right, Devin hugely underestimates his own popularity. At this rate, he's going to smash any records set by Ginger on Pledge campaigns.

'Forgive Me' is a cracking track, exactly the kind of thing I want to hear from Dev. Beyond Ki, that more haunting side of his music never really got explored much (bar 'Watch You', which was meant to be on Ghost 2, but that seemed to die a death - unless I missed something). Really looking forward to this album.

I like!

Quote :

Since the pledge will also affect Z2, here's a little update on that; Z2 will be a double album, with one disc being Ziltoid, and the other being the DTP! Great music ahead, folks!

I really liked the new song from Casualties. I never payed much attention to Ki, if I liked the song from casualties would I like Ki?

I would think so, definitely. You would probably like the Ghost album as well.

Dev's describing Casualties as having elements of Ki, elements of Ghost and elements of Devlab!

This is what happens when Devin sings a Dream Theater song for which he doesn't know the words.



  

It's okay, nobody knows the words to Dream Theater songs.

400% funded!

Not bad at all.

It got past 500% in the end.

Downloads of Casualties available next Wednesday. Woohoo!!

He needs to learn how to add updates about the campaign to the f*cking campaign page on PledgeMusic, not just Facebook. I keep missing all these updates. Kind of annoying.

PledgeMusic's notice system isn't nearly as well integrated as the one on Kickstarter, sadly.

Am I the only Luddite who is going to wait until the physical CDs are sent out to listen to the album? Color me old fashioned...

Probably!   

Until I have the Edison Cylinder in my grubby paws, it's not a real record!   

Hey Eyesore, you got your download yet?

It's pretty damn great! Probably the first of his quieter records to really grab me first time out.

Not yet. Just put the baby down, now it's time to eat. I used to check e-mail and get online first thing, now it's like midnight. =(

He only put it out at midnight (our time, about two hours ago) but I happened to be on facebook so got on it quickly.

But yes, priorities (you wouldn't have it any other way I'm sure   )

I absolutely love spending my day with my son. It brings me so much joy. But I also find a lot of joy in not checking e-mail until 12 hours or so after I wake up. Haha.
