Review# 353
The first Devin Townsend Project album is Ki (pronounced “key”), it is a rather progressive album (and you could probably guess what my thoughts were when I heard that in the rumour mill for the first time!) but it is so down to earth and is in no way pretentious or irritating. Devin uses a rather diverse range of vocal styles that are well balanced with the music and never feel just randomly thrown in. The music is well textured and supports the vocals perfectly, there is also quite a range of musical diversity in sounds throughout the album. I surprised my self with how much it got played during the 6 months or so after I brought it, these days I only really pull it out when I have time to really listen to it and feel like some relaxing music.
