Devin Townsend spared no expense for the limited edition box set version of his coming “Devin Townsend Presents The Retinal Circus” live release. Due out in North America on October 29th, this particular variant of is limited to 500 copies.
Highlighting an elaborate live show Townsend played in London, England with extravagant stage production in late 2012, the box set features:
“a 40 page-vinyl-sized book with other special goodies (such as a letter from Devin in an envelope, a ‘polaroid photo’, a postcard and a mask with Devin’s face on it (which was distributed at the Retinal Circus show at the Roundhouse), a guitar pick and a signed and numbered lithograph), a lenticular cover, with Devin’s rolling eyes and his face in 3D. The book comes in a die-cut box, incl. an LP-size pop-up of the Retinal Circus stage, as well as 2-DVD/1-Blu Ray/2-CD.”
Pre-orders for the set are available here. A look at the pop-up stage in action can be found after the break. As Townsend himself said of the set: “…Everything about Retinal is over the top… For the package to be any less made no sense. If you’re jumping off a cliff, do a cannonball”.
In other Townsend news, his Ziltoid The Omniscient alter ego has been given its own radio show.
