        For me also due to sentimental reasons it’ll always be Timothy’s Monster.

        Followed at the mo by COTF, LLM, BHBC and Trust Us.

            Snah’s first vocal line in Spiral and the crowd’s cheering. That was such a good first moment.

                Well they must play KDH in Winterthur. Missed it in Berlin. Can’t get enough of that one. As opposed to Go To California. :mrgreen:

                I had an issue with “less is more” during the Cake and Phanerothyme shows. Too much hippiejam noodling back then. Now it’s just right for me.

                and yeah, some prick that guy must have been.

                  Ha lucky you, I went for a few days too and wondered if and where one would stumble across them. It didn’t happen in the DDR museum. :-)

                      @bodysnatcher:

                      actually that was Ozzylot. Bent sang the last line as “I want you to be my friend”, if memory serves right.

                      I also thought they suffered from the loss. Some concentration issues and “wrong” cues. But still it was LOUD and energetic and they were on fire, and in a good playing mood.

                      Ocean and Glow I heard both the first time live, nice. The COTF songs were all amazing. Main set a bit short but you can’t complain when the suite is the encore, right? And what a suite it was! Despite the reason, it was great to hear The Golden Core again. Maybe on this one, too but probably only on All Is Loneliness the Taurus pedals got their moment. A bit of a shame. I’m a basspedal junkie. :)

                      Is it just me or do they – after 90ties epic psychedelism and early 00ties jazzy moods – lean now towards the funky side of it all? Bent & Kenneth is some bad ass groove machine, very uptight and poignant (if that’s the right word…).

                      The audience was great, btw. So many people really appreciating the band. Swiss audiences usually wait until the encores with bursting cheering.

                        It was LOUD and i stood about where Superstooka was. But I could hear everything, good bass, good guitar. My ear sometimes hurt nevertheless, but I thought that’s my old tinnitus problems. I didn’t see any earplugs display. So I thought those Berlin people must be tough breed.

                              ha I’ve seen Henry stopping a stagediver on stage once. Told the band to stop playing and started to ask the guy why he fancies jumping into people’s faces. Quite awkward and embarrassing for the guy.

                              Anyway, great setlist. Ocean, wow, never heard that one live before.

                                  @LLM

                                  Yeah the thought comes to the head sometimes. Then again, the boys are like living superjukeboxes. They obviously eat and breath 40 years of music history and digest it for their own stylistically spread oeuvre. You can’t have the common originality this way, like other artists have by simply repeating one idea for twenty records.

                                  The way they treat their music, how they perform and produce it, with tons of various instrumentation, I think that’s what leads to their originality. I’d also say they’ve maintained a signature style long ago, mostly in terms of tension and dynamics. So they can easily cite themselves, pulling an “ah, there we go again” then and now. By building up tension and stomping on that Taurus pedal. This too is something that defines them as unique.

                                  So I can’t think of a pure and typical Motorpsycho song. Well… Feel maybe? But the biggies like Heartattac Mac, Back to Source, Kill Devil Hills, STG, TGC, Wheel, Surfer, Ocean and Taifun and of course the LLM album are characteristic and defining works. Trust Us was such an elaborate album in these terms and therefore an ending to an era. Looking back, the westcoast poppier albums were an obvious move. And then jazz and country. And then the return of big growling amplification. Motorpsychedelism probably is simply a way of doing things.
