Thank' s Devin for your reply. I can sleep quietly now and dream about addicted and the 2 other albums who are all coming in 2009 or maybe 2010 for the last (If you need more time to perfect?)... And of course the others albums after behind I hope. But one thing in a time. Good night. :zzzz:

Great photo! But to me it doesn't hold that same power as some of the shots for Ki.

Haven't done the real photos yet...will probably be a little more like the second shot.

Addicted won't hold the same appeal for some folks as Ki, for sure...Ki is an introspective record that documents a kind of 'break through'...Addicted is a bit of a throwback to an earlier style, yet done with new techniques. ...and it's a 'celebration' of sorts, it's not really a grower, it's pretty immediate...but theres a time and place for that I believe. Humans respond to rhythm and positivity...we're in a bleak-ish time, and I really feel a cool sense of joy making this record, really warm summery vibe, it makes me laugh every now and then.

This whole 4 record process is really a search for myself. I suspect I'll not be suprised when I do meet me, but this process really explores all avenues.

Addicted is really heavy, and strangely relentless...the style it is based on (big, pretty hard rock and metal with symphonic elements, echos, keys, dance-y tempos and a mix of strong singing, 'snorty-oink' :) and abba ish vox) is something that I've ALWAYS been interested in and done...and writing it comes very naturally to me...compared to Ki, it's a pretty 'obvious' Dev record, (O.M, parts of A.E) but when it catches me in the right mood, it leaves me breathless. When I'm not in the right mood, it's relentless and taxing. (It's a party atmosphere, and I rarely party so...) But I've kind of refined this style to a point where it's really really natural to do...I have always loved this style, and this summarizes it.

By exploring each style, I'm checking off the things I take and leave from each...Ki's a beauty, but there is still some crazy conflict on it...Addicted is euphoric, but deluded in a sense...it ends with that realization, which brings us to Deconstruction...which is pure freedom to a fault, literally... then the fourth album, (Rain Song, Reconstruction, Folk In A) whatever...is a reflection on them all and where it has lead.

Everywhere and nowhere, but all the better for it. Faith by definition seems hard to prove or confirm.

just talking more shit...just hypothesis.
