Devin Townsend - Z2

[Bechuga]

 

Devin Townsend's double album project Z2 is up for pre-order! Can't believe there isn't a thread for this yet...

 

"Transcending the boundaries of conventional music releases once again, the newest album by the Devin Townsend Project is a double studio album available also as deluxe 3CD digipak with special artwork in embossed silver-foil slipcase and stunning 4LP+2CD box. On “Z²” you can enjoy a massive double-album battle between the textured lushness of DTP's 'Sky Blue' and the orchestral bombast of the Ziltoidian 'Dark Matters'.

 

“Z²” features the Universal Choir - 2000 audio files of individual fans singing along to selected songs, assembled by Devin Townsend and included on the songs “Z²”, “Before We Die” and “Dimension Z”.

Didn't know it was a DTP album as well as a Ziltoid one. The first Ziltoid record is one of my favourite albums of all forever so I'm excited for a sequel from the sock puppet of dual-omnisciences.

As I saved money due to not winning the Syro lottery, I bought the clear vinyl set of this instead. In retrospect, perhaps misfortune did me a favour. :D

Just got my quad vinyl/dbl cd set and it's great! Usual overblown Devin majesty, on par with anything else he has released in the last 7 or so years. And yes, I definitely feel happier having this than LTD Syro.

Not that anyone else cares. Poor old Devy.
