So I always think that weather has a strong influence on what I feel like listening to - does anyone have the same and if so, what weather do you associate each of Devin's albums with?

Ghost: rain! (It has a lot to do with the weather when I first heard Ghost... but still)
Deconstruction: sun and warmth - when all the neighbors are outside and would rather I didn't crank the album. Also, thunderstorms!!
Ki: summer - with strawberries on the beach a few minutes away.
Addicted: Dark and gloomy morning, making my mood better while I'm sitting on a smelly bus.
Synchestra and Terria: soothing temperature, summer, and a walk in the woods.

That's all for now. :P

OM- Cloudy, grey weather. Cold.
Accelerated Evolution- Same as above.
Terria- Some parts are sunny, others cloudy.
Synchestra- Definitely sunny, the warm orange kind of late afternoon sun.
Infinity- White, heavenly clouds.
Ki- Night time with lots of stars.

Having 'seasonal affective disorder', the weather relflects emotion heavily for me.

^Like-Minded, we are.
Ocean Machine: cold & somewhat rainy, like early winter.
Infinity: spring, lightly overcast day.
Physicist: rainy and autumnal, not as cold as OM, but more thunder.
Terria: somewhere between spring and summer, with cool breeze and some sunshine.
Accelerated Evolution: Melbourne weather in autumn, in that it changes every 10 minutes (but still cool in feeling).
Synchestra: light Indian summer, just before true autumn starts.
Ki: spring just after winter, still a bit stormy.
Addicted: summery, with the odd shower thrown in.
Deconstruction: autumnal and windy (especially the title track :mrgreen:), that kind after dark you love to listen to.
Ghost: Last days of winter, or perhaps the spring thaw, in a period of tranquility.
Impressions of Ghost 2: those winter storms that precede the above.
Ziltoid the Omniscient: SOLAR WINDS THROUGH NEBULAE, WITH ASTOUNDING EXPLOSIONS FROM THE SUPER NOVAS, SUCKING YOU IN LIKE AN OMNISCIENT BLACK HOLE! YESSSSSS!!!!
But seriously, it’s like a gray autumn (or maybe winter) day, where imagination takes over the bleak backdrop of reality.

Ocean Machine: Springtime, late at night. Air is chilly from the constant sheets of rain. Neon lights bright in the puddles of water.
Infinity: Big, and wide open. Summer, stifling hot. Laying under the shade.
Physicist: Winter. Cabin fever. Better light the fire...it's chilly in here, and the snow's falling.
Terria: Perfect springtime day.
Accelerated Evolution: Afternoon rain showers, coming in and out with intensity. Sitting at the window and watching the people amongst the raindrops.
Synchestra: light Indian summer, just before true autumn starts. (can't argue this, agreed)
Ki: spring with the last bits of snow on the ground.
Addicted: last days of summer, vacation's near an end, and school looms. You're excited to meet new kids, but you don't wanna give up the lazy days.
Deconstruction: Violent thunderstorm that doesn't scare so much as fascinate.
Ghost:lazy, saturated summer afternoon that threatens storms later, but is still and melty right now.
Impressions of Ghost 2: cool winter days, on a long drive to the city.
Ziltoid the Omniscient: Summertime, kinda hot but the breeze makes it bearable. In a movie theatre, enjoying popcorn and friends.

This actually has a lot to do with when I first heard the albums, but I think it works anyway:

OM: Cold, rainy weather. Mostly from sept-nov
Infinity: winter
Physicist: spring
Terria: Spring time
AE: Rainy weather, any season
Synchestra: Spring time
Ziltoid: any time, really. Perhaps best jammed in space?
Ki: winter and early spring
Addicted: Beginning of winter
Decon & Ghost: I guess summer so far, not enough time to sink in, really.

I agree with all the suggestions made here tbh. But recently, I've started to get a better listening experience from driving with Dev records on.
Like on a sunny bright day, playing something like Terria, Synchestra or Ghost whilst passing trees and what not :). As with most people here, I'm really moody with what to listen to. I mean, I usually find myself scrolling through my Ipod for almost 2 minutes, just finding something that'll suit.

Ocean Machine - Sunshowers, but not an overbearing sun but just more of a, "Hey, it's light out but there's plenty of precipitation abound." However, this album goes through several "days" of weather changing slightly for me, with "Bastard" being dark and drizzly and absolutely crushing.
Infinity - n/a, oddly enough. That white background makes it so that I imagine all the music against a white backdrop.
Physicist - Foggy, in some earthy setting full of petrichor
Terria - On and off rainy, some parts are downright sunny as hell (the solo starting in "Deep Peace")
Accelerated Evolution - pure rain, until the final two tracks. This is the dimmest when it comes to light of all the albums, and that's why it's one of the best.
Synchestra - Nothing too strong... "Sunshine and Happiness" is obviously very bright
Ziltoid the Omniscient - n/a, outer space

None of the DTP ones have that relational memory to weather for me, though Ki sounds like it could/should. And I haven't heard Ghost.
