Fuck, the cmdistro pre-sale for territories outside the US starts tomorrow. I'll order mine as soon as it's possible. I can't fucking wait.
The whole set is on Youtube, unfortunately Devin's guitar is buried under the keyboards during his guitar solo on 'My Baby is a Headfuck'.
Devin just tweeted this about Epicloud: "I'd say mixture of melodic parts of Ocean Machine, Rocking bits like Addicted, simplicity in parts like Accelerated, but more dynamic." FUCK THIS IS EXACTLY THE KIND OF MUSIC I WANT HIM TO MAKE.
Well, yeah. I don't expect something super-pro, though. I'm content with there being video footage of these shows. I'd love a Blu-ray release and some high-class camera work, but I'm still pretty excited about it.

The tour poster has a very tiny image of the Epicloud art at the bottom: There's a larger version of the poster on his facebook page, but it's still pretty tiny.
I noticed that too. But I wasn't sure if I was just being slow. I haven't read this thread closely in some days.
It's a bit strange really, the parts on Gato and Heaven's End were on the backing track, but the part at the end of Trainfire was sung live by the woman who also played flute. (Trainfire was one of the best things about the four shows FYI)
Devin Townsend @dvntownsend So when the 'Ghost' album was finished, I had 12 songs that came out here and there, supposed to be Ghost 2, couldn't convince label etc.. Devin Townsend @dvntownsend However, Epicloud has 12 extra songs as well, and they have agreed to let me do a digipak version that is essentially a 'double album' =] Devin Townsend @dvntownsend The second disk wont be mixed in the same way, a bit more 'demo-ish' in quality, but it completes this cycle without having stragglers after
"Demo-ish" for Devin is like most bands' finished albums, so that's great news. My box set shipped yesterday
I BLASTED AE in the car today. Best feeling! Between the euphoric optimism of Traveller, the otherworldly and beyond our time feel of Sunday Afternoon and the crushingly morose Suicide that album really sums up a lot of the feelings I go through.
Assuming you ordered from CM Distro, right? Did you get a confirmation e-mail? Goddammit, I need it now.
