Motorpsycho - You Gotta Hang On To The Trip You're On...

Excerpt from an article about the 'jamband movement'
taken from the Dutch newspaper
DE VOLKSKRANT, 2001-01-18.
English translation done by Leslie Hadlock.

The first European band that can be described as part of the jamband movement is Norway’s Motorpsycho. This rock group has attracted a devoted following of adventurous listeners with atmospheric studio CDs and loosely improvised concerts. In an expanded incarnation with jazz musicians Motorpsycho constructs a new genre. The improvised metal of the live Roadworks Volume 2 CD is a treat: wildly enthusiastic rock musicians frequently swerve off course while trying to keep up with the soloists in the Norwegian free jazz quartet The Source who play at decidedly quieter levels.
