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.

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 totally agree with you

Whats your fav song from Terria. Mine is "Earth Song" or the song about Recycling

kindred_spirits · 04-03-2007, 08:30 PM

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?
