Sorry not to have been writing more. (Soon the Muse will nag me again, I hope.)

So, instead: I bet you’ve never heard of Devin Townsend. Headphones on, and brace yourself.

    Whew! If Pete Townsend had had that much electronic gear at his disposal, the rest of the band may have never formed.

    Brace yourself is right.

    Was not braced enough for that terribleness. ‘Course, I’m an ABBA fan. And even some metal. But that – made me hack up a hairball.

    Great tune, and that performance is probably even better than the album version.

    I sense there is an age range in the comments so far.

    Well, I’m 65 – and even after spending my whole life making records, I think this guy’s really something.

    What a wall of sound! (He does all his own mixing, BTW.) What a voice!

    Sound engineering in an old barn:

    I guess he still has a bit of the ‘angry young man’ in him. Neil is a couple of years older than me.

    Devy is famous for that “wall of sound” style. He has not only mixed and produced his own stuff but also worked with numerous other bands. Great musician.
