Checked out Ghost on Itunes...

"Radical Highway" ಠ_ಠ

I think that I am going to love Ghost eventually, but it has not entirely 'clicked' with me the way other albums did, yet...

Still, it is a beautiful piece of work!

By the way, I am so looking forward to my CD-quality pre-order of both the albums!

It definitely needs some listens, like decon. Just put it in the backround while you're doing other stuff on your computer and soon enough you'll find it really familiar. And you'll love it.

Ghost is becoming one of my favourite summer albums ever. So relaxing. Sometimes it's just cool to listen to something that doesn't have tension in it. Makes things seem brighter.

I'm not really into analyzing this album, cause to me it doesn't feel like it needs to be (yet anyway). In a critical sense I guess I would have to say that the first half is stronger melodically. The second half seems less song-based and (even) more focused on just creating an atmosphere, which is cool as well, but in a way can't compete with the hooks on Heart Baby, Feather, Ghost etc.

It does require some patience from the listener if you are going to listen to it with 100% focus on just the music. Giving it room and letting it be the background seems to work well.

I've listened to it once now. I did what I always do with new Dev-releases (and other nearly as strongly anticipated albums), which is that I went out for a walk in the woods nearby.
I don't think there has ever been an album more perfect for this!
Already by the time I got to the Enya-vocals in Heart Baby, I was in a very different state of mind. A very peaceful one.
When I got to Ghost I truly thought I was high (I was not), the sounds were altering my perception.
Blackberry had me dancing around a bit, nuff said!
Oh and when I finally got to the ending atmospherics of As You Were, I was standing on a hill, watching over the river as the sun was setting and the cool breeze of a summers evening lazily quivering the leaves of things around me, aaaaaaaaaand... tears. Not for any specific thought or profound realization, it was just a beautiful moment.
There are many more things to say, but I'll leave it at that.

How did you find ghost and decon on itunes? I cant seem to find them! I wanna hear Radial Highway and Ho Krll!

heart baby anyone???

After my first and only listen, can't say I'm much of a fan of this album. I think I need to be in a rare mood that would allow me to sit through it all without feeling the urge to put something else on to change the pace. Also not a fan of Devin's vocal production where it sounds like the same vocal track in stereo mode and makes it sound a bit processed. For that stripped back kind of mellow music, I like just a simple clear vocal track straight down the middle that sounds more organic.

In no way I'm saying this this album is bad, just not my cup of tea. I'm glad most people here seem to like it.

My $0.02

Heart Baby is one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard. Definitely the highlight of Ghost.

That's cool. I disagree though. I find it hard to put something more up-tempo on after listening to Ghost

FYI: I'll still be buying Ghost. And who knows, some of my favourite albums I didn't like at first until they grew on me.

There were a lot of albums that Dev put out there that didn't click with me on the first listen. That doesn't seem to be the case with any of the DTP albums, though. Surprising.

I think the last 7-8 things he released didn't click with me on the first listen. I listened to Physicist, Biomech, Infinity and Terria nonstop for a year when I got into Devin, then AE just seemed to put it all together beautifully. Since then, the SYL albums, ziltoid, hummer, synchestra, ki, and addicted were all growers. No complaints about any of them, though - they all proved to be very rewarding experiences.

what's the actual release date for these 2 albums? I'm looking for physical CDs here.

This album needs to be playing in Vancouver atm.
