...because I heard 'Sit in the mountain' for the first time! This song's so great that I have to cry because of it's happiness!

Devin, let me tell you that I love you!

Classic song!

I feel that it is a song that is rather enjoyable to listen to.

Sit In The Mountain is one of my favorites. Om gets me going too, I can't believe these two are supposed to be "just demos".

I know, I know... cause I've been here before!

Yeah, the fact that those are "just demos" from Devin only shows how amazing the man really is. That is a song that, from almost any other artist, would be in my top three, but from Devin its a "just demo", although, like I think you're saying, its much more than that, on the top half of the songs he's put out, at least in my opinion.

"Sit In The Mountain" is STUNNING!! I remember many, many years ago when I stumbled across Devin's solo work on MP3.com I was blown away! There was Bad Devil and Christeen, Namaste and Material, and Life and Hide Nowhere. I listened to those 6 songs about a million times! At the time I didn't know Devin was the man behind SYL, a band I first discovered in basic training on town pass in 1995 in San Antonio, TX. Nor did I know the man behind SYL was the man singing for Vai on Sex & Religion, an album I owned about a day after hearing "Deep Down Into The Pain" waaaaay back in the day. You can imagine my surprise when I pieced it all together! The same guy did all of THIS?!?!?!

So, I eventually bought Ocean Machine, Infinity, and Physicist shortly thereafter along with the Christeen EP and single. "Sit In The Mountain" and "Planet Rain" were the two songs that I played the most. They gave me chills every time I heard them, still do to this day! They're just BRILLIANT!! It's funny, any time I listen to either of those songs I first heard on MP3.com it makes me giddy, this odd feeling comes over me every single time, it's the same feeling that I had when I first would listen to them streaming. It's really strange how that happens.

Anyway, rant over. "Sit In The Mountain" is fucking amazing!! Plain and simple.

Could be my favourite Devy song ever. It is very special indeed, it sounds alien somehow (probably the high pitched starting vocals). I remember hearing it on MP3 first but I am so glad I have the Christeen EP now.

Amazing song indeed.

Just demos...

The only difference between those songs and any other Infinity is that they are not on the main album. It is not like they are rough drafts or anything. He simply didn't have room for them on the album, so he called them "demos".

Another worship-thread! And since it's about Sit In The Mountain: Count me in. I love this song, I'd love to hear the re-recording Dev did with the DTB line-up, I'd love to hear and see it performed live.

Lots of love in this last sentence. Well yeah... Love is all you need.

No. Devin said he just didn't think they were finished yet. Add those four songs to Infinity and the album is still only clocks in at 73:03. They could have fit on the album easily.

Agreed, great song. The Infinity EP was the first Dev release I ever heard (Before then I only knew him as that guy who was briefly in The Wildhearts). The rest is history

I think that adding or not the EP songs to the Infinity album wasn't a matter of length limitation. I love "Sit in the Mountain" and "Starchild Rise", but let's face it, adding them to the album would have overload it. Once Devy saw they couldn't fit in the whole picture, he stopped working on them and didn't send them to mastering with the album. Hence the "demo" thingy...

Well, I wasn't saying he should have them on the album. It would be hard for me to even imagine them on the album, you know? Infinity is what it is, the same thing goes for the EP. "Love-Load" definitely would have been a bit odd on the album, but I think the rest would have fit fine if he'd chosen to put them on there.

Classic song!

I concur.
