Love it...
Yup, his use of ambiance to make things sound huge is unparalleled. If you're only going to buy three Devy albums (I have them all) 1. Ocean Machine, 2. Terria, and 3. City... IMHO.

one of my favorite albums. Ever.

I have a radical idea. The door swings both ways,
we could reverse the particle flow through the gate.
We'll cross the streams.

This CD didn't leave my stereo for about a year after it came out. It's like a CD shaped slice of Deity brains.

I think you mean "Earth Day"

Its hard for me to pick a favorite song, since I love them all. At the moment its either Deep Peace or Stagnant.

Easily my favourite Devy album, everything from the guitar tone to the production is perfect.

'Earth Day', it's a life/death/humbleness metaphor actually (well, the whole album is really)... and a stellar piece of music.

Probably "Canada," but "Mountain" and "Nobody Here" deserve nods, too. And actually "Stagnant" rules, as well.

Come to think of it, most of the album rules.

I bought this album last night on Itunes based on the recommendations here, and dang you are all right, killer stuff. Are his other ablums like this or is this just a single example?
