I'd just started college and these guys were sat round a tape recorder listening to what I eventually learned was Ocean Machine.... I couldn't believe something could be that heavy and melodic at the same time.
Needless to say, I've followed GOD for quite a long time now and for me everything he does is brilliant - a true genius!
Ocean... is still my fave though. Just captures a time and place in my life that was, well, is one awesome and magical set of memories!!

I first heard Detox on a sampler CD from a Canadian metal mag (Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles). I immediately went out and bought City.
Biomech was the next Dev album I bought.

My first one was Terria.
It sure took some time to grow on me.
Before I started to love Dev's music, I listened mostly to Steve Vai.
Haha, man that sounds funny.
I can imagine your first reaction. The cover IS kinda.. funny

I went to my favourite Cd store and the owner gave me a copy of Infinity... "You'll love it. Check it out!". I looked at that crazy cover with that guy naked and thought "Oh God... What the fuck is it?".

I got Ocean Machine back in 1999, I first heard about SYL on a local music proogram down here which played "Detox". After getting into SYL I found out Dev had some side projects and that's how it all started.
I still need to pick up the Bootlegs, I've been waiting 8 years to get it.

Terria. A friend of mine told me where to buy it (cost 11€) and I bought it because it was "cheap". I was a into SYL already but Dev's solos was a bit too emotional to me ( Life and Seventh wave was the first taste of dev's solos) 'cause I was a tr00 metal warrior back then
So I had no good reason to buy it. I just did.
I didn't listen to it right away 'cause I thought it would suck anyway. And I was really depressed. Took me over 6months to like it. Now it's my favourite album.

A friend bought OM and Terria, but didn't like them. They ended up in my hands and I've been listening to them since. Now that I think about it the only DT or SYL cd I've ever bought was the Infinity 4 demo cd... all the rest have been given to me by various people.
