Although I'm miffed that it got blocked, I'm pleased to be able to share today's reaction to new music from Devin Townsend. It's a bit tamer than previous Devin, but it's quite wonderful IMO. Enjoy.

Those are some damn refreshing songs. Beautifully done and even more beautifully illustrated in the cinematography. What a wonderful piece of art to be enjoyed by all.

I love that you're as curious as I've been about my favorite artist of the past 25 years or so. You should really check out the world's introduction to him on Steve Vai's Sex and Religion album (yes, Steve Vai "discovered" Devin). The opener Here and Now is a GREAT place to start.

Dev goes deep, whether the music is complex or not, or loud or not. It's great you're able to go with him Doug. I'm glad I can enjoy it with you. Thanks for the reaction!

Love the channel Doug! WOW, these are both fantastic tunes. Had to pause between the two and quickly go download them to one of my playlists. I haven't heard of him before but I love it and will check out the rest of this album and his others too. His changes kept me intrigued. I don't say this to many people but want to here since you mentioned covid: I have changed little since before covid. It's the same for most people I know too. The reason, I think, is due to 65 years of rural living (and a whole lot of poverty and hard work). Covid didn't present a lot of lifestyle changes. For instance, wearing masks for protection against blowing dust, and to prevent cross contamination of diseases among our herds of cattle, hogs and other livestock is quite normal to us. Like covid in humans, some diseases can wipe out a herd in a matter of weeks - or days. In 1982 I lost my beloved dairy herd - 6 generations of careful breeding. My grief was profound and I felt as if I would never heal. What happened was an outbreak of Hoof and Mouth disease. To back up a minute - farmers and ranchers often met at a cafe after morning chores to gripe about the weather, high cost of growing hay and grains, etc. No one knew how the infection got its start in our area but it is contagious and deadly. No treatment, no cure. It was thought to have been eradicated 40 years previously. By the time it was diagnosed we had unwittingly spread it to our livestock by way of mud on our boots as we visited for coffee. Every cow in a herd had to be killed even if only one was infected. So, bottom line, it didn't take covid to teach us what to expect from an epidemic, and therefore we willingly and prayerfully donned masks and gloves and stayed home except to shop. It has pained me these last two years to see people make a pandemic a global political issue about their right to independence. Apologies for taking up a lot of space to explain this but while I'm at it I'd like to add a positive thing too. My freezer died in 2018 and I couldn't afford to replace it. That is, until qualifying for food stamps in 2021, meaning my social security could stretch farther and finally I could buy a new freezer... and fill it! Also, there's no such thing as boredom on a farm or ranch so staying home for long periods of time was no big deal.

I'm just getting to the video, but what a beautiful message Doug. It's a shame this video was blocked. It deserves to be shared. Follow your heart Doug. The words will workout as they freak out.

Oh boy! I really hope you do a full listen-through to the album! Yeah, he probably will release another song...but I'd almost save it for the full album. That's what I'm planning on doing so I get that full album feel. For example, when I listened to Empath, I had never heard Singularity before (the super long piece you reacted to), and when I got to the end (after taking in the whole Empath album), I was beside myself in tears. It was incredible
