@ punknotyet: How is the situation in Dnipro at the moment? Do you prepare for Russian attacks – and how? Would like to learn what is going on…
@punknotyet: Stay free! Remain save! All the best to Ucraine!
… and worth every single Euro, take my word for it! Lots and lots of material – I was almost overwhelmed by the sheer mass of clips, dokus and the filmed Amsterdam 2002 gig.
As a matter of fact this record already sits in my CD cupboard – compiled and remastered from various DIME sourdes (thanks Spacebandit – among others). I always considered the 2013 & 2014 tours with Fiske a highpoint of motorpsychedelic stagecraft. If I remember correctly this was split into four album sides (having to leave out beautiful 2014 stuff as "Gost" and others…)
Side A:
August
Ãœberpilgrim
Side B:
True Middle
The Ocean In Her Eye
Side C:
Düsseldorf Thunderhell pts. I-III
Side
Düsseldorf Thunderhell pt.s IV-VII
and to make it a triple album some stuff from 2015 (without Fiske):
Side E:
Year Zero
Throught The Veil
Side F:
Starhammer
On A Plate
Into The Sun
A littl dated maybe, but still worth a release. The newer brilliants (Lacuna/Sunrise et al) have more recently been quite well documented – so I'm in for the Great Lost 2013-2015 Roadwork IV 1/2 or whatever you may call it.
Everybody`s enthusing abhout the Leuven gig. Hopefully it will meet the high expectations.
I for once think about adding a third date to the May tour. Regrettably both Berlin and Köln gigs are rather at the early middle of the tour – usually the band raise the stakes in the second half or even last third of a tour, so I'm considering Bielefeld as well. Nothing definite yet – probably I'll decide after the Berlin/Cologne gigs. It may be too late then though…

Personally I like most of Kim's covers (admittedly the Eggplant one is way over the top). At least he didn't come up with stuff like that:
On a more positive note: at least the reactioneers (no political pun intended) get to listen to some new, non-mainstream music, which might even advance Motorpsychedelic appreciation in the less enlightened corners of the world
@ boomer:
Quote:But what a strange concept to judge a song by first listen. How much music was left undiscovered, just imagine…You're right in every sense – I'm beginning to discover Motorpsycho's latest studio album just now
Most of these "first listen" clips are just a waste of time – an opportunity to show off, make goofy faces and fake concentrated listening. I wonder if much of the music involved is ever listened to for a second or third time.
The more "exotic" the musical product, the higher the chances of faking expertise – or just creating attention. After all – there must be more Motorpsycho discoveries these days in the US than actual sales, streamings or whatever. Just wondering…
@ suntripper: Thanx for returning to the original topic!
Btw.: The Vanguard record label has nothing to do with the Vanguard investment group, god bless 'em. Not that anybody drew that conclusion here – but still: some record companies (small ones mostly) stay clean. Would have been funny though if the Vanguard Group started with Country Joe McDonald
. Let's hear it for the good guys!
Van Helsing? Isn't that the guy who used to fight vampires? Now turned to a data vampire himself? Unbelievable…
On the other hand liberal democracy needs to defend itself, being (cybernetically and ideologically) attacked these days. I recently read Putin fears an EU expansion more than a NATO expansion – soft power rules! Anyway – we should be careful that we do not turn into the people we fight by using their methods.
"Never surrender…
never surrender…"
But I agree – let sleeping dogs lie! (Can't resist citing song titles, even old MSG ones…)
Not very original. EMI invented and produced radar technology and weapons from WW2 on and later became part of Thorn industries. Godspeed You Black Emperor dealt with the various overlappings of music and military industry on Yanqui U.X.O.
Obviously those companies all turn bad in the long run. Spotify already turned out a rather totalitarian rip-off monster, so this is probably the logically next step.
