Notes From Africa

Notes From Africa

'Notes From Africa' is the thirteenth track of Synchestra by The Devin Townsend Band. It is one of Devin's older compositions; dating back to around 2001, and there is speculation that it was at one time considered for inclusion on the "Terria" album.

Devin's Notes On The Song

Just before the album leaked onto the internet Devin Townsend posted the story behind the record on his internet forums. This is what he wrote about "Notes From Africa"

"Notes From Africa - Summarizes the whole damn thing. References and opposes 'Love?' from "Alien", and really hammers the point of the record home, a real solid groove and a VERY STRANGE MELODY that has been in my head since "Infinity". It fades out into echoes that put you in a 5 minute jungle scape after the song is over. (we went to an indoor rainforest and taped the sounds of the waterfalls and birds) By this point of the record, I just wanted people to be in a tropical paradise for a few minutes. It's warm and beautiful. Technically, the record is over..."
