Ok, my curiosity is now officially piqued. Looking forward to any hints as to what direction it will be taking, given it sounds like you've had a longstanding desire to make the record. Understand it's probably still pretty embryonic, but y'know... it's our job to be curious!
As for the no-heavy thing, great to hear you're just going for it and not holding back just to keep certain fans happy... and the hardcore metal-only people either won't like it anyway, or would be used to the idea after Ki. Meh.
I think an acoustic album would be cool, ala the bootleg acoustic from like 2000. Plus some bonus covers of Hide Nowhere, Noisy Pink Bubbles, Night, etc would be awesome.
Personally, I would be disappointed if the 'acoustic' record was just devy back catalogue being banged out on an acoustic guitar.
I want to hear compositions written to express the softer end of guitar and vocal capabilities and generally be excruciatingly beautiful on the ear. It could still have electric guitar on there too but it would definitely be from another world. I'd like 'where were you' type sustain (jeff beck) and dave gilmour types of overdrive. smooth and clear tones that make me feel a lump in my throat and that if I'm not careful I might feel tears well up; not just tears of happiness or sadness, both of those as I listen to the whole CD.
I like the part in Trainfire 4:57 - that kind of moment please. Actually I think the Ki tones are beautiful, in fact Beck and Gilmour would do well to emulate devy rather than it being the other way around.
hmm, I better stop, before I specify too much in my head and make enormous amounts of work for devy to live up to.
I'm gonna be impressed however it turns out - that's what happens when devy puts effort into his work. I'll love it.
