      Today I made my world sublime with 180 g Phanerothyme!
      A feast for the ears!

        They probably got tired of their juvenile avatar on the (old) cover. Since 2001 a few years have passed in Motorpsycholand – music-, face- and beardwise.

          Thanks Bernie! You made my day again…

          I found out I prefer watching the vids on my tv, lying on the sofa and fully concentrating on what’s going on.
          Sound through the odd hifi amp, image on the screen.
          Prefereably late in the evening. Best music programme I find in my TV these days ;-)

            This is very good news indeed. Been waiting for that RI for years. At the time Phanerothyme came out I was still in my CD period – then I still bought my Motorpsycho discs in record shops, where the vinyl version certainly was not available. Tussler next?

              Bernie is back! Thanks once again…

              Mountain is great – and great to look at. Especially the little dance the three guitar players enjoy from minute 2.00 onwards. They shoul’ve donned their ethnic “sacre du printemps” costumes ;-)

                No recordings surfaced yet – I’m getting a little impatient after having to cancel my attendance at last notice. Patience! Patience!

                Ha – Just as the doctor ordered – should’ve gone to DIME straightaway. Spacebandit post up there for 2 hours now…

                  Cameras: Bernie’s last stand?

                    Aaaargh! I’m shattered. Fucking fate, that kept me from participating in this monster of an event! They must have gone entirely mad: Chariot, ML/A and NOX in a row! Followed by a Unicorn encore and still not finished!

                    Downhill from here…

                      @ Tomcat: Könnte eventuell doch noch spontan mitfahren – müsste ebenfalls spätestens Samstag zurück sein. Auch wenn Köln definitiv nicht “Düsseldorf Area” ist ;-).

                      Bräuchte allerdings schnell ne Antwort wg. last minute ticketkauf:

                        @ Punj Lizard: Three in a row – lucky guy ;-)

                        Sadly I can’t make it to Leuven – enjoy the concerts. Hopefully a decent recording will materialize in the near future.

                          Looks a bit battered – clearly a drummers home ;-)

                            @ supernaut: You're a stand out psychonaut, obviously ;-)

                            After listening daily do AA last week, I have almost no complaints left, which is rare for me.

                            Still in "Chariot of the sun" they could have repeated the first heavy chord sequence before the Magma-style rhythmic part a few times more – it is just so beautiful. But then it is taken up in the end part – so there may be compositional reasons for that. That is lamenting on the highest possible level, of course…

                                … and this was my other visual association with the inner sleeve of AA:

                                51Joa2uFzkL._SX466_.jpg

                                (colour, positioning and feel of text/text colour contrast).

                                Interesting combination…

                                The cover designer did a brilliant job capturing Motorpsycho's musical concept and transporting it to the visual level. Chapeau!

                                  Still intrigued by the inner sleeve. Couldn't find any obvious predecessors – the closest I could get what the Affinity cover, that I uncounsciously had in mind.

                                  Affinity-outer-pack-web.jpg

                                  Same typo, related composition, parallel nature setting, the central circle motive (umbrella/gong) being reflected in natural elements (ripples in thewater resp. grass), yet great difference in colouring. AA inner sleeve looks like a deliberately dark and almost colourless interpretation of the original motive in a northern forest setting. The Typo nails it down.
