In light of Construct's impending release, I've been listening to DT's entire back catalogue in chronological order. I haven't done this in many years, but it really puts the band's evolution in perspective. It also affirms DT as my favourite musical entity of all time
Haha!
I'd be very interested to know if you (and the rest of the band) listen to your previous albums often. Or do you avoid this in favour of forging ahead?
Is it surreal to hear something you created 10,15,20 years ago? For me each album encapsulates a period in my life, so I imagine this must be especially true for you as a creator of these.
If anyone else has done a chronological listen lately, has it cast any of the albums in a new light? Personally, my appreciation for Projector has increased significantly. I've always loved that album, but hearing it straight after the Skydancer-Mind's I era, I can see just how pioneering it was. I consider it the most unique and timeless album DT has ever created.
Anyway, hope this stirs up some conversation. I miss reading masses of posts like in the old days (I lurked for the ages, haha.)
