Finally streaming all the De La Soul albums released on YouTube. R.I.P. to Dave Trugoy the Dove. One of my favorite hip-hop groups of all-time.
I was introduced to Devin Townsend through Vai. I thought that was a really solid group and am sad that nothing else came of it. Can't complain about all that Devin's accomplished since, though! Speaking of Vai, here's one of my favorites from that release.
Yes, I remember that Vai record where he was involved. I got to know his music through SYL, his project with Gene Hoglan, during the "City" era. He then began his projects in parallel (Ocean Machine, Infinity, etc). Excellent musician.
