This project has just hit me on so many levels. It's weird. I got tired of metal, stopped listening to Strapping, my emotions started to mellow and out of nowhere, perfectly timed comes Ki. That helped me through the awkward transition. The Addicted came along, and it was like, "Okay, I just wanna have fun now!". It stayed like that for quite some time. Then the first of the year hit. It was just a really bad time for me. I found myself completely lost and heading in the wrong direction again. I revisited the two albums to get me back on track, and things were really slow, 'till I heard Deconstruction which was just like, "All these things that have been bothering you, and how you've tried to deal with them didn't work out at first, but it's gonna be okay, you'll overcome it. " Lastly came Ghost. Ghost really showed me that all of the thing I was doing to just wind up in a good place were in me all along. The "Here's the key" line made me cry like a baby the first time I heard it. It made me realize all's I had to do to get where I wanted to be, was look inside myself. I know no one really has an interest in any of this, but I really have so much respect, and love for Devin's music. I can honestly say without it, I might not have been okay.

On top of that, the pure beauty of someone being honest, cutting the bullshit, and doing what they love gave me hope that I could do the same. Making music kinda died for me until lately. I play, and come up with pretty stupid sounding stuff, but I like it. I know that's all that matters now. I don't care if I ever get famous, or anything. I just wanna play and have a good time. I never woulda realized that, if it weren't for Devin's music, and him as a person. Sorry for going on about it, but it means the world to me.

Honestly, and truly thank you so much, on so many different levels for what you've done here, sir. It's the most impacting thing I've ever witnessed, and wouldn't trade it for the world. Keep doing your crazy awesome thing!

I had to register to share my feelings about Deconstruction as well.

Listening to it the first time was definitely one of the most emotional experiences in a long time. I was literally crying through the whole album.
I got goosebumps running up and down my whole body on almost every track. I had to take a break after Sumeria, 'couse it was just too intense.

I never thought music could evoke such a strong response. And the album title was very spot on, 'couse it felt like I was being deconstructed as a listener.

And Ghost was very soothing and calming experience, and welcome after the rollercoaster that was Deconstruction.

Thank you, Devin, for making such awesome music. I'll forever be in your debt.

From the moment I heard Seventh Wave I've been searching the musical world for something similar but different. I think to myself, there are thousands upon thousands of bands/ acts out there there must be something that is similar in the vastness and simple complexity, or complex simplicity, that is your music. There is no one, I've come to accept that and be happy with listening to bands and people who sometimes push it, who sometimes make me think 'god damn how did they do that?' - sometimes, because then, then there's your shtuff.

Not only is the music out of this world, diverse and utterly mind blowing but you're one of the most honest musicians I've ever encountered. And to top it all off me and my friends spout 100% more obscene toilet humour at each other because of you (and Ziltoid). That in my opinion is the greatest impact you have had on my life. Thanks for that and stuff.

my girlfriend of 2 1/2 years and I planning on using Ih-ah as our entrance song for our wedding

Me and my girlfriend are planning on something similar. She loves Feather and wants that played as she walks up the aisle. Its not a church wedding otherwise I would ask for Sumeria on the church organ

Thanks guys, for real...

It's so weird to actually think other people actually listen to this stuff... Thanks for being a supreme vote of confidence to kind of 'stick to the guns' so to speak...

Thank you.

You get what you give in life, I got into your music because it's honest, very real, and lovely....JUST LIKE YOU! :B We truly appreciate everything you've done for us, you've established an amazing fanbase full of awesome folk I'm proud to call my buddies I've been a member of many forums in my time; and gotta say I'm still amazed at the constant good vibes about this place, other band ones I've been on always have the problem of competitive fans (The worst I can mention- a girl I was friends with for 7 years, even bridesmaid for her; went nasty on me literally overnight because I had been made admin on a band forum she was moderator on a year before I even joined...WTF?!?), the only other forum I can think of as chilled as this one is the FXLab and well...I realised why everyone was always so nice to me when I went to meetup at a tradeshow; they were all blokes in their 40's-50's and I was the only 20-something year old girl!

But yeah, I know it must be difficult sometimes when interacting with fans (Flooded with questions, trying not to disappoint when you give an answer, the odd bunny-boiler etc.), but you still do it, and we love you for it C: (who else on here sees a flash of red in the last posts column and says "THERE HE IS :3!")
When times suck, remember how many people out there love you no matter what!

Also, following from what Amber said; I don't even know if you like cake the past few times we've stuffed your face with it...BUT WE'LL CONTINUE TO DO SO. It's not very original, but what can I say? We're girls, we're only comfertable in the kitchen...BAKING IS ALL WE KNOW! IT'S EVERYTHING TO US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's so weird to actually think other people actually listen to this stuff..

You really are a nerdz Dev You music is what makes my day less boring, and seeing you on stage, each time is like THE day of the year. I feel like a teenager again eheh.

Thank YOU Dev.

All that needs to be said has been said really, so I guess I'll just say thanks. Thank you so much.

Thanks guys, for real...

It's so weird to actually think other people actually listen to this stuff... Thanks for being a supreme vote of confidence to kind of 'stick to the guns' so to speak...

Thank you.

dude your records have so much meaning to certain points of my life. listening to different records really bring me back to memories throughout growing up. If I ever am depressed, Addicted never fails to make me feel like less of a goofball.

Hey Dev

This is my first post but what a perfect first post, I also like eveyone else is saying wanted to say thank you, thanks for the music and everything that you do for your fans

Well enough gushing, and can't wait to have physical copies of these two new bad boys in my hands (come the eff on CM Distro, I'm dyin here....)

Thanks guys, for real...

Thank you.

Man, not only do we actually listen, we enjoy it more than anything else. At least I do.

It's so weird to actually think other people actually listen to this stuff...

I find it weird that you don't realize how special your music is. I'm honestly surprised more people aren't listening to it.

My thoughts exactly.

Okay, I can see how a lot of Decon might be a bit too out there for a lot of people, but something like Addicted is just so fun and catchy. That is one of those albums that, if it had been made by an artist that had mainstream appeal (in other words, an artist who is known to the average person), it could have been really popular.

"And so say we all." [Galactica]

Takes a lot to impress me these days but am never disappointed by your output. Decon is incredible. Have yet to spin Ghost but loved Ki. Thanks, Dev. Your stuff really does make a difference. All the best to you and yours. Rock.

TEH said it right.

I bought the pre-order of both albums, the deluxe package. Then, I downloaded the same from iTunes cause I couldn't wait and wanted to hear Ghost.

FWIW, Dev, Feather is great, so is Watch You. I like Blackberry Vine, Fly, and Seams, too. Overall, I prefer Deconstruction and Addicted to Ki and Ghost. But, I will remain a fan regardless because your artistic vision is so honest and I'm interested in your "voice".

Stick to your guns, brother.

It's so weird to actually think other people actually listen to this stuff...

Every time I hear the shitting noises on Deconstruction, even I notice how weird it is that I listen to this...

Love your stuff, Dev. Keep doing what you do.

There ain't a lot of music that I can totally lose myself in. Devin's I can. Listening to the songs is just like immersing myself in these incredible soundscapes. The project's music, concept, and just the atmosphere of each album is just...it's as though Dev can do no wrong! I think Physicist is the only album I haven't been able to fully get into but even then it has such an interesting atmosphere to it.

So Devin, I'll join the ranks by saying thanks so much! I really really really enjoy your songs. So Awesome!
