Thing is, as soon as the album's out we'll start waiting for the next one. It never ends!
Remember Zilly, what did it take, one week before someone asked if there would be a sequel? And then it's on again.

That had a good reason. The Ziltoid cover had a "1" on it, and I believe that Devin said Ziltoid would be first of a series of some sort.

Didn't Dev say a few pages back that the new album will be "2," and that the numbers refer to the progression of themes or something?

Ive got a feeling the next update from Dev will be a biggy... i cant wait!!

Well well. I've been lurking around here for some time without posting. Well, here we are, first post And what comes to release date, it would be pure awesomeness if Ki would come out before 2009. Perhaps it would be there to help me to get over army, which starts in january :> Well, one way or another, patience is grace

No way it's coming out in 2008 imo. I wish it would though

I think you are right. Devin probably won't release the album before it reaches the highest grade of perfection . And maybe that'll take a while, but after all we will say it was worth the waiting, I am SURE of that!

one things for sure, it doesnt matter how long it takes, i just know this album is going to be at a whole different level that Dev is used to producing and im sure im gonna be blown away as usual. Apparently Ki will be ALOT better than Synchestra...... and i thought Synchestra was a masterpiece! Can't wait monsiour Dev. Deep Peace to you sir!

I'm not expecting a 2008 release at all, because even if Dev does have all the recording done, there is still all the album art, promo items, ads, interviews, site upgrades, etc to prepare prior to release. Summer 2009 is more likely, maybe even Spring 2009, but I'm not holding my breathe for a winter release (not that I wouldn't like that ).

Wouldn't it be strange if Dev actually had the album done for months now, and he's just torturing us for the hell of it (or he likes to read about people anticipating the releases of his albums)?

I think an Early 09 release seems likely.

I'm still wondering what the chances are of the artwork on the front cover of the new album being a bunch of penguins in space suits on ountain bikes, but in reverse so it actually looks like they are teapots sitting on the edge of basking shark.

Highly unlikely, but yet somehow i'm still hoping....

This could perhaps tie in with my previous ideas for release parties......hhhhmmmmmmmmm

No more alcohol for you...

Alcohol?

I believe you meant "LSD."

Damn, I still wish we had a release date. Oh well...can't interrupt or rush a genius at work.

[The Dev]

No release date, and Stravinsky is dead, so no worries!

Me on the other hand...thinking less, writing more, stopping lots, starting sometimes, on the verge of being pretty clear, but a strong wind could blow it in either direction.

Going to light a fire and think.

Analyzing addiction...every thing you get past opens up a ton of shit you hadn't considered. Pain, there's an interesting thing to be hung up on...it branches into places you hadn't recognized.

That was a hell of a speech that man gave, whichever way you lean.

Still believe in Infinity as the metaphor for God, I'm not a Christian, although it was interesting coming to that conclusion...Neither am I a Satanist, and that was interesting too.

No matter how far you go in any direction, you're still in the middle, you never move, time doesn't exist, it's a singularity for the observer that allows the flow to celebrate.

The whole hippy ethic and the rhetoric is true, but in a larger sense, is just seems like a stupid thing to focus on.

I had a dream about dimensions the other night, watching myself at every stage of life, observing the trials and it was kind of amusing. All stages occured simultaneously and were lessons as opposed to =true= experiences.

Cats are special.

Heard something strange on the top of a mountain the other day.

Designing a guitar and an amp...is it for commerce or for art? I think it's a combination. Am I cool with that? So far...the guys at the company understand the music...(which is motivating.)

Dealing with other peoples perceptions of 'me' vs. the true me. The true me? Analytical, and very basic.

Issac Asimov had said that ours is a universe based on war and games. Other universes may be different, but that's our deal. So there is no 'Peace', even choosing to abstain puts you on the offensive, so the best bet is to keep your eyes open and stay clear. Aikido is a cool concept.

Can't quite quit coffee, I get a titanic headache.

I like construction.

Is it US or THEM?

I hate the teletubbies.

If I could make a good living doing something else, I'd consider it...

Karl Jung, The Collective Unconscious.

Watching friends with kids slide back into heroin... >:\

The music I've written vs. the music I play are very different. I think addiction comes into that as well. Addicted to image and power as opposed to having the balls to just do what is 'right'...(that plus, I don't have enough of that stuff to make a record) and have people say 'he's lost it' when the truth might be that a) I never had it, or b) what I truly am isn't that interesting to most folks.

I think Infinity and fractals, yet write subversive layers. Why? I suppose in some ways It makes me think I'm really clever, on another I feel I'm led and don't trust the guide, on another I think I'm just being honest, and others interpretations of the intention I take to heart and lose the plot.

I'm trying to stop going to porn sites. I think they fuck up my perception.

Ableton Live is great, but annoyingly gimmicky in some ways. Logic studio is getting closer but the audio editing is a joke. I FLY on Protools, but some of it is just dinosaur technology. (8 looks nice though).

Things lately that haven't totally offended me:

First song on Frengers by Mew.
An older Afghan Whigs song
'Sights And Sounds' new record.
Some new song by Air
Paul Horn
Ravi Shankar
Rapoon - Darker By Light (8 times today already...15 yesterday.)

Some things that have:

Hinder
Gear Salesmen
A lie from a friend


WHERE IS THE PERFECT AMP?

...we'll see. An old Superbass 100? An original '59 Bassman (or twin) A Komet? A Dumble? A Trainwreck? A Peavey? A Mesa? A Wizard? A Crate? A Hand-sheened zippozappo 900 watt plus with tungsten-dipped-kaffufflebuffers?

You can't have it all, so choose a style and commit. THERES the 100k question. I'm a metalhead! ...no I want to compose! Ambient! Trance! Humor! 50's! Hard Rock! Pop! Fuck it, let's go to the beach, the ocean is at LEAST 50x heavier than job for a cowboy.

Producing bands is a HELL of a job. I've aged more in three years than I ever have. I have, officially made the shittiest sounding metal record ever, polished some turds till they fucking GLEAMED, and have been offended mortally by several ideologies.

Got a flu shot today, feels like I was kicked in the bicep by a mule.

Oh well, I'll stop hijacking Devins posts now, thanks for listening!
