Anybody who just witnessed the spectacular Ziltoid sections from Devin's tour in Australia will surely agree that those songs were absolutely CRUSHING live!!!

It was an absolutely amazing experience to say the least! The MUCH clearer samples, more defined guitars, and Ryan on drums gave the songs a completely new and PUNISHING vibe, whilst still retaining the same 'essence' of the original. Even the 'mellower' songs were simply amazing live.

Whereas rerecording the whole album would be a lengthy process and we all know Devin has huge commitments in the next couple of years (Deconstruction, Ghost...and not to mention a fuckload of touring), a basic remix/remaster of Ziltoid with fresh live drums by Ryan would be a relatively 'simple' task in comparison, i mean while devin is recording one of his upcoming projects maybe Ryan could record drums during that time? ...and i believe it could be one of the greatest concept albums of the last 20 years!....it would definitely be a great way to bridge the gap between now and the next Ziltoid record (Z2?). Devy's fanbase i'm sure would further continue to expand ten-fold!

Personally i was never that great a fan of Ziltoid, i thought the music was great!, but the drum machine brought across a very 'mechanical' vibe in my honest opinion...and the songs have NOWHERE NEAR the same jaw-dropping moments and sheer power that they did live. I feel so honored to have been there to experience my 'awakening' to ziltoid.

So anyway, i think a basic remix/remaster of Ziltoid with live drums would be ABSOLUTELY KILLER!!!

Anybody who agrees please reply!

Hmm, I wouldn't be opposed to it, but I only recently found out that the drums on Ziltoid were not human. I think they sound pretty damn good, to be honest.

I reckon that would be epic, but hard to do.

Id buy it !! (again)

This idea seems to be perfect, but I think that Devin would create some new songs (album?) connected with Ziltoid-like stuff than produce album once again with Ryan's drum tracks. That's true that songs like "By Your Command" performed live provoke earth quakes and Solar Winds, hah. Another invention is the fact that Dev could record DVD with entire Ziltoid played live! It might be something very unique.
There can be so many other ideas to continue and pleasure Ziltoid, but we don't know what Dev himself thinks about them. For this while he is probably busy with creating new songs and performing concerts, so we have to be patient and wait for some news

The live show is going to be recorded for DVD, and there is going to be a second Ziltoid album.

You're like Father Christmas and a cool pimp all in one person!
