oh my ears

I've been listening to and discovering more music than ever recently, particularly since attending a Devin Townsend Project concert.

There's several worlds of music to be indulged by from Devin Townsend, my first encounter being the epic Ziltoid the Omniscient. Knowing nothing of his past in Strapping Young Lad, I really enjoyed the amazing scope and sheer heavey-ness of this album, and also the humour. It's not all this world-batteringly heavy though. The project's Ghost album feels reminiscent of Division Bell-era Pink Floyd, led much by acoustic virtiousity and soothing, lush soundscapes.

Else worthy of attention is the loud but accessable Epicloud.
