Devin Townsend Project announces live package ‘Ocean Machine – Live at the Ancient Roman Theatre Plovdiv’
DEVIN TOWNSEND PROJECT has announced a new live package!
The CD and DVD package is taken from the band’s show at the Ancient Roman Theatre in Plovdiv, Bulgaria last year, which celebrated the 20th anniversary of album Ocean Machine. Speaking about the show and release of CD and DVD, Devin Townsend says, “Plovdiv and this live package represents a lot to me, it signifies the end of one era, and the celebration of another. Amidst a gruelling touring year, this show came together with much blood, sweat, and tears, and the result is the culmination of many aspects of my work on one stage. Ocean Machine was released 20 years ago, and though Marty (drums) is no longer with us, I was able to finally perform the album in its entirety with the original bassist John ‘Squid’ Harder on this night. On a cold evening in an old city in the ancient theatre, many lifelong milestones came to a conclusion on this night and I’m exceptionally proud of it. I am currently writing, writing, and writing some more for the next stage of my life and work, and the team of individuals who contributed to this project, from the musicians in the band and orchestra, to the crews locally and with this, management, artists, filmographers and most importantly, the audience… made this night a powerful and strangely bittersweet moment I am proud to have documented with this work. This is a very special live recording of a very special night, and I hope you enjoy it as a monument to the things that inspired it all in the first place. Love and light, Devin Townsend”
The show will be available as a 3 CD/DVD digipak, Blu-Ray, and digital audio download as well as a limited edition deluxe 3CD/2DVD/Blu-Ray artbook, which includes liner notes from Devin and a special documentary dubbed ‘Reflecting The Chaos’ on the second DVD & Blu-Ray.
