g h o s t - part 1, bed tracks

[megaterra69]

3:10 What song is that?

[nataku012]

Dear Sir,

After listening to this album for the 20th time this week since buying it I would like to say that you have taken everything I knew about music, turned it upside down and slapped it in the face.

Sincerely,

Awestruck fan

[BlackSage3]

Undisputed creative genius. It is simply inspiring to see what he does next. He is a true artist and EXPLORER. His music is BALLSY and unique. He breaks and binds music styles. Like his song title, he is a "MONSOON" of creativity, and always has been. He has been a true inspiration, consistent over time.

[DevinJayLeibe]

@people Radial Highway is the 1st track for Ghost 2

[jg928]

its amazing how he recorded this almost a year ago

[theconjob]

I watched this video so much before Ghost came out, and it's fascinating to hear what all these excerpts have turned into. Ghost is a stunning album

[hillysats]

Can't wait untill I finally get my preorder.

Grrrrrrr waiting sucks.

[eliten0Ob]

Question: Why the hell is Radial Highway and Ho Krll excluded from the CD's? D:

[KIBQUE]

i like the octopus 3:14 &&

[TMF58]

I can't wait

[fuckweed]

what happened to radial highway?

[Viterkim]

@fuckweed It's gonna be on Ghost 2

[Fizzwut]

Insanely good

[DeathToNewbie]

Hah, Blackberry is a great song.. I know. ;)

[MetalHead420100]

deconstruction is kinda my crack right now, but still. im so stoked for this album.

[Rickles]

Notice the price tag still on the banjo. Record the track then return it? Damn swell idea I'd say.

[grindcorerob1]

always a pleasure lord devington....ALWAYS!!!

[cyclopsvideo1]

Cant wait for new Devin material,I'm really liking Infinite Ocean,total fade song,makes me feel like I'm floating above everything.Could hear this on repeat and dream.

[roonray330]

I love the erruption of sound at 2:57 after that sweet banjocore riff. The world of music needs more banjocore.

[dannytheharvester]

I'm one of those misanthropes that is waiting for "Ghost".

It sounds amazing, as always.

[LickeyWebster]

@dannytheharvester  This one sounds more philanthrope than misanthrope, but thats just me.

[rockeur411]

Blackberry sounds like Zelda :D

[MrScientist90]

This will be total different album, time of magic and beauty. CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!

[Adultguj]

Texada reminds me a bit of a mix between the OST's of the first Rayman/Spyro games. Just a little bit.

[latenightmoonlight]

Just listening to the previews makes me want to go wonder through a forest and beyond.

[MidnightKraehe13]

Devin Townsend! Reply or I will sick a monster on you that not even ziltoida can stop with his zapper beam! Now, quickly, you are the biggest music genius EVER. My brother introduced your music to me recently. Cant wait till ghost, LOVE IT. Along with Addicted. EPICNESS. I just wanna say in short that you rule the world with music! The next "guitar hero" of earth! Lol horrid puns

[eliten0Ob]

Hey Dev!

I saw you live the 15th march (Copenhagen), and just wanted to say you made a KILLER show, and I am looking forward to this album! Even more than deconstruction to be honest. But just want to know; how long will this record be, and is it possible to pre-order it? :)

[steal12345]

thumbs up if you like to wank devin townsend is a beast

[smittybang]

@steal12345 wat



[NitroCoasters]

When those albums come out, it's gonna be so heavy, and so relaxing at the same time, Chuck Norris comes back from the dead..... he is dead right XD

After these albums come out:

Maybe I am going to compose a little song that both has Deconstruction and Ghost in it.... :)

[LordAcheron92]

Im absolutely in love with your more atmospheric and ambient tracks. Ive always wanted to do something like that but cant ever seem to wrap my head around composing that style.

[dragondevel5]

@LordAcheron92 keep working at it, you'll be able to get it eventually.

[dinkeldal]

spring coming soon!!

[Jammium]

Banjocore, eh? I think you could be on to something there, Dev!

[Sticksandstones32]

Fly sounds mesmerizing and atmospheric. :D

[DeathToNewbie]

I really want to hear the full version of Blackberry now.

[DeadSuspect]

That song fly I bet is gonna just blow people's minds!

[DeathToNewbie]

I'm so going to buy this.

[RandomJackOfDoom]

I've heard Feather in full and it's sorta the best thing ever.

[AMartins92]

@RandomJackOfDoom WHERE?!

[RandomJackOfDoom]

@AMartins92 Search "Devin Townsend Feather" in the search bar and click on the NAMM 11 video.

[AMartins92]

@RandomJackOfDoom Thank you so much :O:O AMAZING SONGS

[MercyfulFart]

I'll see you in The Netherlands, twice! Your music really means alot to me. The world, and beyond

[thelema3131]

I think this is going to be a perfect record in so many ways.

[LucisUnus]

Production sounds similar to that of Ki. Awesome.

[lasoogneypubes]

@LucisUnus Eh. Sounds a lot better personally.

[mrmontana87]

i cant wait to hear ghost and deconstruction both sound amazing.im looking forward to them.

[Wacke666]

Sounds totally beautiful! Really looking forward to Ghost and Deconstruction.

[YungBoiye]

I just thought.

It's January, and this comes out in 2 months, a die hard fan like me! I have been holding onto when I was at the concert in November! I am going to the next concert and I am getting Deconstruction, Ghost and Z2 when it comes out =D Love you Devin! Keep being amazing ! :D

[ant1991331]

omg can't wait

[ShortSonata94]

Just me who thinks Texada is completely awesome?

[Kitamora]

@ShortSonata94 Nope. I can't wait to hear it in full.

[lordofsquad]

It doesn't sound like Pink Floyd, but it's the first music I've heard that captures the same sort of emotions and atmosphere. Very dreamy and wonderful, can't wait for the album.

[bovinemarauder]

These sample tracks gave me goosebumps! I cannot wait to relax and listen to this! Thanks Devin buddy your work is highly appreciated!

[VacuityFIN]

What kind of tunings you have on guitars in this record, Dev?

Already playing the parts of this video :D

Really looking forward Ghost & Decon!

See you in Helsinki 30.3.2011 !

[napalmrain666]

hey devvy! thanks for al the hard work! its guaranteed to pay off, sounds too good! im buyin all that new shit baby yeh! does your albums come with extra poopie nuggets?

[Someone132435]

God, when Monsoon starts I close my eyes and it makes me just want to dissolve into infinity without a care in the world. I wish it would go on for hours to keep the feeling. Devin you are a genius unlike any other! I am so buying both of these albums the day they come out

[dinkeldal]

prachtig

[dinkeldal]

amazing sound scapes

[CannibalCorpse909]

Can't wait for this one Dev!!!! You ALWAYS deliver the goods, and if you're saying these albums will be great...Then I'm sure we are going to shit our pants!

[SYLFan2008]

Deconstruction and Ghost as a double-album. Fuck yeah!! We fans deserve that kinda royal treatment. Baldie has made us wait way too long. Can't wait!!!

[williamelmore]

by the sounds of things this is going to be my fave ever devin record ever :)

[Meuric]

Fly sounds so...wow !

Radial Highway and Blackberry are gonna be a strange kind of thing too.

I'm not a long time fan of your work, just know Ziltoid and Ki, but I think I've never been so impatient to hear a disc.

Thanks !

[tatt3rs0n]

I almost fucking cry when "Fly" plays

[jjjjjjustin12]

Come film the music video for Moonshine down here in Texarkana, please. You know, Smokey and the Bandits. That sort of thing. You can borrow my camera.

[SolidFake74]

Take me away yet again Devin. Thank you.

[Bobsikus]

I'm godly looking forward to song called "Fly" ...

[METALHEAD5577]

my god i have nothing but this too look forward to right now time goes too slow then when good things are happening time flies i hate life's twists it throws ya

[Velcharoon]

This and Deconstruction are gonna be the highlights of next year... And i dare say so because somehow i know it will be so. Thanks for keeping the world spinning, Mr Townsend!

[jfalkins]

@ whoever asked what can we do to spread the word, i have two words... STREET TEAM ! Not too sure if it's still very active but there was a thread on his forums that suggested ways to help get devs music to the masses. Call your local radio station or better yet college ones ! posters, and one of the best word of mouth. Or i saw this once on CBC make a mix cd and leave it out in public. Hopefully someone listens and is then introduced to the amazing Mr. Townsend !

[arty908]

2 people need to be Deconstructed...

[herbalh]

wow,  beauty :>

[MitchMcMetal]

my jaw drops EVERY time i listen to the Fly sample, i can't help it, I think "maybe it won't amaze me as much the 2000th time around" but nah it's simply beautiful

[Joeseye]

0:57 sounds like it's going into something amazing. Although it all sounds beautiful anyway.

[davidCcode]

That is what I love from Devin's new projects : one smooth, one Heavy, One completes the other, you can listen to DTP anytime for any mood.

[Nikkibarron]

Your music puts me in another world. :)

One day, hopefully, i'll be as creative and amazing with guitar and music.

Like you! <3

[Kei5ive]

Deconstruction ain't even out and u drop this shit on us. Thankx a fuckin lot mother fucker......cant wait for Deconstruction & Ghost to come out & im sure om gonna buy them that week they release like i did the last to ....but u still suck for being a music tease

[JiiSallinen]

First I was expecting mostly for Decon coming out, and didn't care that much for Ghost, but damn... this sounds so awesome! Really, I just can't wait for these two records to be released, and when it happens, my mind is propably gonna blow.

[AMartins92]

I am glad to see dislike button bigger than Justin Bieber's penis! :)

Still 2 though... too much for Dev!

[Skeksisexy]

dude im not bullshitting ..i could NOT live without your music in my life ..im the same as you ..i sometimes feel like the syl stuff (just exploding with anger etc) but i also go into some kind of meditative state whenever i hear your HUMMER stuff etc ..

just by listening to your music i can tell u are a pure hearted dude and you will always be on my top list !

lots and LOTS of respect to you and i wish you alot of happiness with your music career and life itself ...

greetings !

[mustainepWnsyouall]

devy can't wait for these albums next year. hope you do plan on releasing them as doubles :)

[atombebi]

it will have to be that what we feel after this video....

[MegaNoobee]

man, this is gonna be beautiful :D

[chromeblack]

Cannot wait.

[jordach545]

Why is it that every time I try to get pictures of poop nugs on here I get this band bull shit?

... Just kidding! These guys are great live. Always a fun show. I know when Dev takes his T-Shirt off on stage, the ladies just scream with pleasure. I think it's pleasure.

[masterlowsferatu]

Really can't wait for this it's sounding great! Do you have an estimated release date for this Dev?

[Konf1ikt]

BANJOCORE

[ZiOmniscient]

Radial Highway reminds me of some soundsof Mike Patton. Cant wait to here this song in full length. And all the other songs seem to be so different and fresh. I need new experiences and Devin gives me, I love Devin for his great work and soul.

[ZiOmniscient]

This seems to be a wonderful album and much more experimental than KI. I appreciate! The wait is even harder than dying. ;)

[MitchMcMetal]

I'm agreeing with a majority of the people here in saying Ghost so far sounds AMAZING, I'm especially keen to hear Radial Highway, Blackberry and Fly (which is beautiful to say the least)

[MitchMcMetal]

i think I agree with a majority of people here in saying Ghost so far sounds AMAZING dev, can't wait, I'm especially keen to hear Monsoon, Radial Highway and Fly (which sounds beautiful) keep up the great work

[fuckweed]

Devin, I'm 29 years old... you have no idea how this music makes me feel. It's a very unique feeling and the reason I keep coming back and buying all your albums. Can't wait to hear the finished version now :)

[MiniBoyDinkyKnips]

The time before this baby comes out will be a hard a time for me to live, after hearing this teaser I just want a lot more to "Fly" away with.

[Skamisoles]

Can't wait !

[Ph0enix57]

Oh my god. This sounds like Ki but like two times better!

[bloodnsoup]

Devin, you are so damn weird and I love every bit of it. You have really inspired me as a musician to do whatever I feel like. You are a great musician and there is no one like you so thanks for making amazing different music. My girlfriend and I think your the best thing ever. BUT WE WANT TO GO TO YOUR SHOW IN CHICAGO AND ITS 18+ and I'm 17 and she is 16.

[trinketmagebeatz]

Re20s on the Leslie? I HAVE to hear this.

[fatsuperfly]

XD DEVIN AND A BANJO = WIN

[fatsuperfly]

this and deconstruction are the ones ive been waiting for.you are a tru inspiration to my playing Devin.how is it that you can write something so brutal and make it sound beautiful is beyond me.

[greyfox5551]

This sounds so amazing. It's like ear candy. I can't wait to put this album in and just lay back and listen.

[arghtonyrgoth]

Dev, when are you coming back to Belgium? we miss you down here!!! :(

[metldrummer2112]

I'm going to have to listen to Ghost before Deconstruction. No doubt about it.

Thank you sir. For every single album.

[kthebay]

Im really looking forward to ghost.

[12bore1978]

I can't wait for the next two records dude and I can't thank you enough for the brilliant show you did at Bloodstock this year.

[VanPiorsing]

Radial Highway... Fuck Yes, Dev !

I Love it.

[joenic2791]

BTW 2 people need to have there eardrums operated on

[joenic2791]

Thank you for finally showing your banjo skills sir. Much appreciated, true talent in you there is. Double disc!!!

[lordwindowlicker]

Devin, man.. I can't wait for this album. Holy shit..

[lizardsobek]

Devin, are you going to make a box set when this is finished? I want to give it to my kid when he begins to listen to music. Has Reynar heard this yet?

[quehannaband]

"Infinite Ocean". Love the title. :)

I'm almost afraid to hear this album, quite frankly. Certain pieces from "OM". "Infinity", and "Terria" just destroy me emotionally. I see a weekend in solace once this CD reaches my hands.

Thank you for the updates, Dev.

[parlezuml]

What can we die-hard fans do to help spread the word when Deconstruction and Ghost come out? (Well, but them, and spread the word, obviously. But what else?)

[parlezuml]

@parlezuml Sorry "buy them", don't "but them" :)

[poopynuggeteer]

@parlezuml :) Just enjoy it man, it's all good! Thank you so much... I'm mixing right now and I think it's beautiful... almost ready for the ugly though ... 2 more weeks and then the music takes a turn... (Deconstruction) Ghost is absolutely touching though I (like to) think...

[parlezuml]

@poopynuggeteer That's made my week, that has. Man, I'm salivating at the prospect of some proper titanium-plated, nuclear-tipped ugly, too. It's all nectar to me. You're the Terry Gilliam of music, dude.

[tigerhearted87]

@poopynuggeteer this is going to be exciting!

[ArthurFWTaylor]

@poopynuggeteer Mate, just this selection of clips got to me enough to make this one of my favourite records before you'd done the final mix. It's gonna be fucking epic, nice one. Looking forward to Decon as well, got to have a bit of heavy to balance out all this mellow!

[zaccaz153]

@poopynuggeteer thank you for your music. Its helped me through alot. cant wait for new shite

[slash1915]

Dear M. devin i'm from the north of africa, i really like your works, you prove that the musical langage is universal . i consider that you have the most deepest creations (trainfire -ki- winter -hide nowhere-coast and the list is long .......).

we have to respect all the artists, but personnaly if i have to listen too a last song before i die i would probably choose something like FEATHER or BLACKBERRY.

THANK YO M.DEVIN YOU FEED MY BRAIN.

[parlezuml]

Dude, DTP is by far the best work you've done. And that's saying something. These little snippets are like gold glazed in honey wrapped in smokey bacon infused with essense of Uma Thurman.

[snaildragon]

OMG I want!!!!!

[jusaca2]

Come to Chile OK????????????????????????????

[phreestylesk8r]

this is cool but... I GOTA WAIT LONGER FOR DECONSTRUCTION! ha

[justinc18]

Dev,

Seen the second video before this one. And .... I really can't wait now. I love the atmospheric presence. I can see it now, astrophotography while listening to Ghost or at least dreaming of the universe(browsing astrophotography on flickr fullscreen) and becoming intoxicated with the sound flowing to my ears and the thought of such a massive universe. Questioning, always questioning.

Thanks.

[corovanmoro]

Love the sound of Texada.

[DysphoricExemption]

"YOU ROCK MAN!" (come on devin you have to respond now haha, "thank you sir")

[Nauticus89]

2:58 The Supercrush of Ghost

[FlowerFlo1983]

3:18 Yay there's the albumcover of "ghost"! lulz!

[oskchava91]

sounds hippie lol

[Teemmust]

Did I saw right that you had Sennheiser HD 650 headphones on while you were recording? I have the same, but I never reconsider to put those on while recording, because those are open headphones. Good phones to listen to, but I dont know how they work in recording while you play?

Just cant wait Deconstruction & Ghost to come out. Especially Ghost sounds so freaking awesome that I jizzed my pants.

[Matt08642]

Loving how Texada sounds... Sort of like it should be in a Tim Burton movie, lol.

[MrBlasturbator]

I cannot wait for this record. Please come back to Denver soon!!!!

[hellman100]

Texada reminded me a bit of Synchestra... I'm not really sure why... something about it...

[DrDanDungus]

Be careful Dev.... If you don't have one already, you're bound to eventually end up with a severely clubbed foot due to all this repeated ass kicking.

See ya Nov. 5th in Cleveland Maestro!

[acledmaiden]

I think the lyrics to radial highway should be "trainfire up and down the line" lol

[ArthurFWTaylor]

There used to be a void where Floyd used to be.  No longer. This is shaping up to be one of those rare albums that's genuinely lovely.

[sorrystateout]

more views than usual

[comaxpilot]

please....please give us more

[Zappacho]

The older Devin gets, the more Pink Floyd-ier he gets:

In another words: I LOVE DEVIN ! :D

[Spermwhales93]

Who's playing bass on Ghost? Is Devin doing all of it or will there be guest musicians as well?

[Bulbulkatlani1]

@Spermwhales93

It seems as Dev will be playing bass on Ghost.

[HjalmarGuitarMaster]

nice

[wosko]

Sounds like off chutes of the song "Ki" I have a feeling I'm really gonna dig this

[LicoriceLain]

Gah, I am already in love with this. 2011 will be mighty. >:D

[synths]

Texada sounds so sick! and I dunno, Monsoon might have given me an aural orgasm.

Looking forward to the release of this and Deconstruction. Best of both worlds Devin!

[CGuitar2112]

Is it too early to start loving this?

[sentient07]

still 9 months....

[MikeC26GH]

oh man. totally going to two extremes with Decon and Ghost. I CAN'T FUCKING WAIT!

[Distortedcontent]

1:31 Damn, they caught Devin jacking it in the corner...

[tbagtonez]

@Distortedcontent hahahaha thats what i said to myself to. funny shit.

[ipwnemokidz]

This sounds awesome. Really liked the Monsoon sample. I will be buying both of these albums when they are released.

[jburde]

Fly and Texada... oh man

[mismoast]

fucksatan

[Masonly87]

Cowboy hat dev reminds me of Coneheads!

[xfubar]

Inspiring, unique and beautiful as you would expect from Devin Townsend.

[cowplantman1996]

Banjo core! Dev, that is the best line ever.

[CakeDestroyer]

Cowboy Hat Townsend the most.

[ClaptonandSlash]

Why does Radial Highway remind me of Fallout 3?

[Distortedcontent]

@ClaptonandSlash Wow, I instantly thought of Fallout 3 when I heard Radial Highway also. Maybe because i'm so ready for Fallout: New Vegas.

[ClaptonandSlash]

@Distortedcontent good so im not crazy

[Distortedcontent]

@ClaptonandSlash Or we're both crazy...

[contagion88]

I'm anxious for all of it. Sounds good as usual.

[laughingman1221]

cant wait

[koruptkitty]

sounds amazing man

when are you planning to release this?

[meccabiomech]

haha, never thought i'd see the Dev playing a banjo. Love it!

[FormerlyMrBean667]

Fly is just... incredible.

It reminds me of Terria.

[ArminCifuentes]

Nice work, Dev! I'll be waiting for the release!

[slayerulz11]

25K views already

[sski]

I can't wait to hear the whole deal.

[mcrumiller]

Fly sounds total pimp. I can't wait for it.

[Vektori666]

Fly sounds absolutely too good to be true. Jesus, i really can't wait this one. still, many, many months to wait.
