Been listening to it for a while today (on last song of CD 1 - can't believe there's still another CD to go!).  Pretty heady stuff, definitely good, but not always what I usually prefer since I like to be able to hear some, enjoy it and not have to pay too much attention.  I'll just have to wait until I can devote time to just sitting and listening.  Pausing for interruptions like phone calls and other conversations kind of kills the required zone.

Hi,
 
My ol'e roommate is still stuck on the older DT ... seen them twice here in Portland with him, and both times the show was fine, and of course, I enjoyed Six Degrees and Octovarium but he wanted to hear the older stuff that got him into the band as a younger man.
 
All in all, and I wrote this on the review of their book ( http://www.pedrosena.com/reviews/liftingshadows.htm ) , it takes a lot of courage to stick together and make things work, and eventually ... it will pay off. Dedication is not a floozy!

Does anyone else here have the album in 96/24?

What I see at that link is "This product is not currently available due to region restrictions". Do you have to be in Norway to buy it?

I dont think so. DT linked to the site from their homepage

The band's customary pyrotechnic chops, machine-tooled precision and soaring anthems are all present and accounted for. But here, those elements are pressed into service as cinematography for a fantastical yarn.

Amazing musicians, flawless playing, inventive arrangements, superb productions...and yet I find them unlistenable. I keep trying though.

Why wont Youtube links work?

 

 
You need to take the "Share" link from YouTube, then remove the "s" from "https" and put the link inbetween "[tube]" and "[/tube]" - hope that helps!
