    I've been aware of Devin Townsend's music since he was the singer for Steve Vai. I kind of ignored Strapping Young Lad when I'd read through Century Media catalogs sent to me through the mail. For some reason, his music never spoke to me...Fast forward a thousand years later and last year I was streaming through some music and came across a familiar name- that of Devin Townsend. The song "Winter" shows up- and I'm mesmerized but the ambient atmospherics and softly sung voice of Devin. The drums barely registering, and a psychedelic baritone strung guitar plays a cool arpeggio over some reverbed out atmospheric nuance in the background. After stumbling upon this I decided to open my mind to other sounds and songs from this record. I must say- I like it. Now I'm wondering what the F my problem was with this guy in the past. Answer: I was being a close minded idiot.
    Favorite tracks: "Disruptr" (cool, clean guitar but with some menace!), "Heaven's End"- (again starts off one mood then becomes
    maniacal during the 'choruses')...for some reason the bands / artists that were coming to mind when listening to this disc:
    Faith No More, Godflesh, A Perfect Circle, Sofia, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Joe Satriani, Pink Floyd, Elvis, The Stray Cats, -
    it's a unique record. By no means do the bands I were describing sound like a direct influence - they just sorta reminded me
    of those cats. I dig this album a lot and find myself playing it on occasion, especially driving my car to work.

    FIRST IMPRESSION:

    Just finishing my first-ever trip through Devin Townsend's "Ki" ... and already it feels to me like his best work to date. All the best elements of his previous recorded output combine with a deceptively simple (but never simplistic), often groove-oriented approach that (for me) hits all the right buttons. This project rattles back and forth between melodic and (somewhat subdued for DT) heavy blues-oriented material that has a bit of bite here and there but never loses its composure. Clean/acoustic guitar gives way to heavy, leading into ambient, which slides into moments that are almost David Gilmore-esque, then to back to blues, but this time with a touch of rockabilly ... and yet somehow it all make sense! The Pink Floydian flavor is most evident on "Quiet Riot," but can be felt through much of the project.

    Of course, given that this album is the first of four interrelated releases, each with its own stylistic identity, I'm already looking forward to the NEXT chapter of the "Devin Townsend Project"!

    I may return and add to this review once I've spent some time with the lyrics, but for now I'm gonna recommend this one on the strength of the music and performance. Well worth a listen!

    This album is one in four that the maniacal, insane genius that is Devin Townsend will release under the Devin Townsend Projects moniker(The second, Addicted, is planned to be released in late October/early November). It is an immaculate first entry in the sense that it captures the extreme metal nature of his previous work under Strapping Young Lad and The Devin Townsend Band as well as his fascination with older music.

    Ki contains moments of dark bluesy acoustic that build and segue into even darker explosive moments. With brass instruments in Heaven Send, Che Aimee's backing vocals in several tracks and the partial seriousness of the lyrics, Ki is a work both typical of Townsend and, at the same time, open to new listeners. The notorious cursing of SYL is toned down to the occasional damn throughout a couple songs, but still to the same effect that fans are accustomed to.

    My personal favorites on this album are Gato, Heaven Send, Ki and Disrputr and they, above the other tracks, illustrate the intense, cosmic buildup that Mr. Townsend was shooting for with Ki. This album is well deserving of 5 stars and will leave the listener strongly anticipating the coming installments.

    When I first got into Devin Townsend I was under the impression that all his music was SYL-esque. So when I picked up Ki I was expecting a brutal assault on my senses.

    I was not upset to find the tracks on the CD were not "metal" as we know it. It's a journey, a soft pitter patter of feet on sand. Devin's voice becomes an unholy narrator to the sonic travels you will embark on.

    I love this album, though in a sense of experimenting. Thus, the 4 stars. It's a great album nonetheless. Devin is in prime form.

    While this is definitely a Devin Townsend album, Ki has a very unique sound and feel compared to some of his other works. Many of the tracks are very laid back. Indeed, some of the songs seem to be reaching for some uber-metal place, then back off in to a nice groove. Some people have complained about this quality of the album, but I think it sets it apart in a wonderful way from Devin's other works. I don't say this to take away from masterpieces like Terria. Its just a different album. There are definitely some rocking parts of the album, but there are also some great, smooth parts too.

    This is the first of 4 concept albums of the "Devin Townsend Project". I plan on reviewing Addicted, the second, on its page. I can tell you that this project is shaping up to create perhaps some of his greatest work.

    Devin Townsend Project CD featuring some unusual tracks. I particularly like the title track and Disrupter and Terminal. This is a great buy if you know DTP. I think I prefer "Addicted!", though.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Muss Devin die Fans vergraulen?
    Reviewed in Germany on May 22, 2009
    Kaum ein Album hab ich mehr erwartet als dieses und die drei folgenden Werke bis 2010. Ob er sich damit nicht ein wenig übernommen hat, wird erst die Zeit zeigen, Teil 1, Ki, ist jedenfalls ab heute auf dem Markt und hat nicht nur überraschende Momente parat.

    Das Album bietet was gänzlich anderes als je zuvor. Ein paar härtere Passagen knüpfen Erinnerungen an die härtereren Werke, ein paar elektronische Spielereien erinnern ein Devins Ambient-Alben. Ansonsten hört man eine recht neue Facette des Meisters.

    Hier herrschen minimalistische Gitarren und Bassspuren, ergänzt durch recht ungewöhnliche Synths und Ambiente-Parts, die auch gerne mal zu einem tanzbaren Beat werden. Erwähnenswert: der Schlagzeuger Duris Maxwell ist 62 Jahre alt.

    Das Album beginnt mit A Monday sehr atmosphärisch und leitet zu dem tanzbaren Coast mit einem verletzlich klingenden Devin. Gegen Ende kommt der Drumcomputer doch mal durch und steigert das Schlagzeug zu einem modern klingenden Part.

    Disruptr ist absolut unterschwellig. Ein kontrollierter Devin, dem man in der Stimme aber jederzeit anhört, dass er irgendetwas anbrüllen will. Das ganze wird mit recht einfachen Gitarren-Parts und Psycho-Synthie-Spieleren angereichert. In der Mitte und Ende des Songs darf er dann gleich mal ausbrechen, gleichzeitig sind die Gitarren erstmals stärker verzerrt und der Song auch heftiger, dann ist auf einmal Schluss.

    Gato ist ein kleiner Stampfer mit weiblicher Gaststimme (wer das ist, wird hoffentlich im Booklet drinstehen), der immer heftiger wird. Devin brüllt wie in alten Zeiten und darf, ähnlich wie beim Vorgänger ganze zwei mal ausrasten.

    Terminal bietet ein größtenteils ambienteartikes Songschema, welches mit einem gefühlvollen Devin und kleineren Akustikparts angereichert ist.

    Heaven Send, der "Jam Track", und auch der einzige Track, bei dem Devin nicht nur brüllt, sondern es auch ernst meint. Die ersten drei Minuten steigert sich der jazzig angehauchte Song sich in seiner Aggresion. Die selbe weibliche Stimme wie bei Gato ist auch schon zu hören. Dann explodiert Devin. "BURN!" sag ich nur. Nach diesem Ausbruch kommt ein Solo, das von Meshuggah stammen könnte. Zumindest am Anfang, dann kommen die Synthies mit kleinerere Spielereien und ein klassisches Gitarrensolo startet. Dann bricht Devin noch zwei ganze mal aus.

    Es folgen ruihgere und atmosphärische Stücke, doch dann gelangt man zu Trainfire. Eine Mischung aus Country und... Elvis + Cash. Vorallem Devins Stimme überzeugt in diesem Stück.

    Lady Helen ist äußerst Balladesk, aber auch unspektakulär.

    Es folgt der Titeltrack, der mehr nach Devin Townsend klingt als alle anderen Stücke des Albums. Ki bietet in der ersten Hälfte gewohnter ruhige Passagen mit minimalistischen Gitarrenparts. Dann folgt ein urtypisches Sweeping von Devin, allerdings das erste mal mit cleanen Gitarren. Dieser Part steigert sich immer weiter, mit mehreren Gesängen, einem nur leicht vernehmbaren aggressiveren Gitarrenpart im Hiuntergrund. Dann gesellt sich dazu noch ein etwas "heftigerer" Beat hinzu, dann Dein Überemotional, dann ist der Song auch zu Ende und wird mit Quiet Riot und Demon League ruhig abgeschlossen, wobei Quiet Riot wieder in die Country-Schiene reicht.

    Das Album ist schwer. Es bietet viel Kost, die man so noch nie von Devin vernommen hat. Eine review im Netz besagt, dass das Album Devin Townsend Fans vergrauelen muss. Warum muss es das? Wer Freund der Devin-Alben ist, erwartet doch eigentlich immer das unerwartete? Nur ist dies bei diesem Album zugegebenermaßen wirklich anders als alles zuvor, ähnlich wie bei den Ambient Alben The Hummer und DevLab.

    Das Album wächst. Das erste durchhören mag noch ein wenig anstrengend sein, aber nach und nach offenbraen sich in den minimal gehaltenen Songgerüsten die Feinheiten, vor allem Dave Young an den Keyboards macht einen außerordentlich guten Job mit Spielereien, die man nicht unbedingt sofort vernimmt.

    Das Album ist ganz großes Kino, sehr erfrischend und zeigt Devin in bester Spiellaune. Und vor allem, dass er, nach dem doch von einigen als unoriginell abgestempelten Ziltoid, noch viele Ideen in Petto hat. Das Album kann eine große Hörerschaft erschließen, insofern diese tolerant genug ist, dass emotionale Chaos dieser Platte als voll zu nehmen.

    Zudem scheint er nüchterner denn je zu sein. Gratuliere zu dem gelungenen "Einstand" und bin gespannt, was da noch auf uns zukommt.

    Reviewed in Japan on December 28, 2010
     一聴した限りでは、地味な印象であったが、今となっては奥深い作品である。DEVINにハイパーな部分を望む者にとっては物足りないかもしれないが、自分のように静的部分にこそ魅力を感じる者には、過去最高の出来である。リズム隊が結構年配なようで、円熟味があり、JAZZの要素も感じられて面白い。プログレ好きにも訴えかけるものがあるかもしれない。
