Can’t wait for it to appear – Sailboat song! Wow! And HBM again! Exclamation mark!!!
I only do hope, Snah’s Answer was really Rainbow On Stage and NOT Rainbow Rising (which I adored as 16-year old and duefully repainted with water colours). That cover is really a conglomerate of bad taste, retro-romanticism (including CD Friedrich-Figure) and pseudo-classic brutalism – but might work as such extremely good in a pop (art) context ;-)
Cologne again – whoopee! Huray, it’s the 6th of May, Motorpsycho starts today…
Have to clear my couch for travelling guests until then, I suppose…And for Conne Island: read their statement. Support their attitude – a shame for what (non-)reasons and minimal coincidences you are being put on a boycot list these days…
I don’t think there is something like a neutral opinion in this matter. Nevertheless I found the sound/mix quite satisfying – couldn’t quite follow some commentaries about alledged lo-fi mix. I like listening to the album a lot – the discussed coloured vinyl sound is a minor matter imho.
I support the black vinyl proposal. Althhough the coloured “Neigh” looks quite good – better than many of those multicolor-mixes abounding these days. But the sound is clearly suffering. Had the same problem last year with a private vinyl release from some friends of mine. There is always a little background hiss that won’t go away.
Nevertheless I’m quite happy MP put out Neigh on Vinyl. I love the album – better than some of the recent releases, especially “Yay!”.
@ Deadnautpsychohead: It might however be, that you are ahead of the times philosophically / spiritually by walking unwired/unmobiled ;-)
Well… I rather consider the “short songs” gigs a rather funny interlude (hopefully) – some singalong, some jumping, not the in-your-face-and-on-your-ears 15minutes plus drone with Bent’s bass on 13 (it was on 15 in Erfurt though – malfunktioning taurus pedal?=), but I do hope for the return of the majestic anthems.
Btw: received the horseradish today and found it surprisingly tasty. Didn’t expect too much after all those discriptions as a hotchpotch of misfits (or the concepts of all concepts, as it was called ironically) – and was duely very positively surprised. Liked “This is Your Captain” a lot, same with “Elysium”, all of side two is brilliant imho. And even the Skip Spence tune sounded quite seriously approached on the record – not the rather silly thing that came over during concerts (propably due to Ingvald’s grimacing). Syd and Skip and who else channelled very misfittingly ;-)
13th in Europe as far as I know. Plus a few days for delivery?
Was already expectant when (non-)receiving record post on tuesday, but it was only??? the three reprinted Roy Harper albums I ordered, personally processed for delivery by his old lady (sorry Tracy). Was equally happy, coz the stuff is really great, beautifully packed, fantastically remastered (and remixed?), comes on fat vinyl and can be ordered tax-free within the EU (but there’s VAT of course) directly from the great man himself in Ireland (via royharper.com).
Shameless advertising, I know – but for old Roy I’ll do almost anything. ahh – isn’t this the Roy Harper forum, by the way???@ suntripper: As you probably know, the Bearded Two only accept beardless drummers. A moustache might be o.k., though ;-)
Yep. The first “social media” influencer…

Bent’s clearing words (see “missive from the mothership” thread) have convinced me to order “Neigh” right now, never mind the shipping costs, as it seems to be an exclusive/one-off vinyl release for an album planned origianlly as digially available only. I trust they will find ways to make future “regular” albums available in central Europe a little cheaper via local distribution and am already looking forward to the next aural adventure.
(And somebody must have viewed my “Un chien de Kubrick” clip I made available here a few years earlier ;-) )
