YESSS! Great album! Thanks a LOT!
After third listen I started to skip "Spin…". It's really good, they do it very, very well, beautiful playing, impressive singing etc, but being a tune I'm already familiar with, it sort of ruins the whole "new album" feel for me, and hey, I'm not even THAT familiar with the song. But being placed first on side B, it's extremely easy to skip
So, I shouldn't complain, but would have prefered to see it as a single-only (or part of an EP).Luckily, I don't get any of the "LTEC"/"IALC"/"Phanerothyme" vibes some forumists mention, except for maybe some note combos. Those are good albums (with a few totally amazing tracks), but I'm already willing to say I like "HBM" more, and I'm super happy to not get a feeling of something already released, in that way.
I'm looking forward to hear Kenneth a bit more upfront and hungry again. If not happening, I'll claim it's waste of talent
His work on "Behind The Sun" is beyond stunning, AND it's not show-off for the sake of it, but truly lifts the songs (I'm actually most impressed by what he's doing in the soft parts there, and to me that's top musician quality). But, as already told by others, his more laidback/anonymous approach here on "HBM" fits the material, because – yes – he really IS one of the very best drummers ever! But I'm sure I'll get more Kenneth on next album. Or, maybe as soon as on the soon to be released 12"? Which I run the risk of missing, due to impossibility to catch a show on the tour 
Ouff, too much crap… I basically just dropped in to say:
I'd be surprised if "Here Be Monsters" is not my favorite album of 2016 by the end of the year. Total love!
Quote:Why a tour only limited edition 12"? Now i am worried it will be sold put nu the time the tour hits the netherlands…Seems the tour doesn't even hit Sweden, so…
Crap! I've been updating the shop site more than once every hour today, but still managed to miss it
Amazing show! Despite the amount of, for me, non-favorite songs, this gig was fantastic! If only looking at the setlist, I'd say "disappointment", but I enjoyed every second of the concert.
Some pix (and a movie :oops: ) here.
Vocal melody/figure in "Un chien d'espace" = after 4:30 in "Future/now", right?
I haven't been able to play drums for 3,5 years, but anyways…
And, I don't know, not that I want to judge, but this might not be what to expect from a person with Motorpsycho, Stina Nordenstam, Songs: Ohia, The God Machine and Tom Waits as favorite bands/artists.
My grindcore band Sayyadina (from our last show, I suppose):

I was also in the hardcore punk combo Nice Idiot (my "slow" band):

I also had the opportunity to be part of the amazing Massgrav for a year, before my left wrist fucked up totally (filmed by the guy I replaced – who had to quit playing due to wrist problems – and I'm sure the drummer that replaced me is somewhere there in the crowd (Stockholm is not very big)):

I even tried to "sing" for a while, with I Quit!, 10+ years ago:
Talent – not my thing.
Don't forget the other end of it: if the venue/local promoter didn't make enough money last time, due to lack of ticket sales/attendance, maybe they're not very keen on running the risk of losing money once again?
How come Dungen is mentioned everywhere Reine's name appears, but not Landberk, Paatos or Morte Macabre – three bands that I think would more likely appeal to Mp fans?

(Not very interesting, maybe, but still.)
Awesome show, by the way! My first Mp gig outside Scandinavia.

Yes, my Flickr account is almost two years behind, but I'm doing my second best to catch up with reality/today. That's still way beyond the horizon, though…
EDIT:
Ah, sorry!
