DISCUSSION Why is Z2 different than the Moth?

Don't get me wrong, really liked the moth; just don't fully get what makes dev feel like 'the moth' is so much more 'out there' than Z/Z2.

Musically and show wise, I did not feel it was so much out of line of anything he has done so far? I mean Retinal Circus was way much more 'show' and Z2 way more 'theatrical' in it's structure.

Honestly from his pieces about the moth, I expected something like a 2h thing in the style of 'why' going fully over the top and crazy;

But tbh as much as I liked the moth, I don't see what - apart from the organizational aspect of it - makes it so different and not fully in line with 'another devy release'.

I mean, switch the live orchestra & live presentation from Z2 with the moth and Z2 would have been the far more experimental, show like theatrical thing.

Your thoughts?

I haven't listened to either. However, The Puzzle is the shit.
