After releasing Epicloud
last year to critical acclaim, the DEVIN TOWNSEND PROJECT is now ready
to give fans the first preview of their next release: the Retinal Circus CD/DVD set! In regards to the Retinal Circus, Devin Townsend comments:
"So closing in on 8
months of work, we're almost finished with the 'Retinal Circus'! It's
been a huge amount of work for everyone, from the show, down to DVD
& Blu-ray authoring, artwork, logistics...(not to mention the show
itself!) but we're almost there, and when watched in its entirety, it's
really a heck of an experience!
To tie you over
until it's out, here's a clip of the song 'Grace'...It's out of context
obviously, but hopefully gives you a vague idea of what's about to come
out.
It's been a ton of
work for everybody and we're really quite proud of it...When the final
products have been produced, we'll let you know!
Fun! Whew!!!"
