@Blashyrkh – Thanks. I should've noticed that. D'oh!
Every dedicated fan thinks the guitarist of their favourite rock band is god. We're just lucky ours is. :lol:
@Hercules – Where in London have you posted your Snah Is God art? I'd love to it in person.
Five Rise Records in the UK has a slightly different blurb for the album that incudes the detail that the album has been mixed by Andrew Scheps at his Punkerpad Studio.
@nicoot – Well-discovered! Very interesting reading. Can't wait to see how this all pans out (pun intended).
@Ratmaus: Thanks. This too.
@Marc: Ha ha. Good one.
I personally hope the NOX suite appears on one CD and the other tracks on the other. :wink:
Other potential influences on the album's song titles:
'One must imagine Sisyphus happy' is apparently a quote from Albert Camus' The Myth of Sisyphus.
'The Reign of Humbug' is the title of: (1) an 1825 satirical etching; (2) an 1836 satire in verse by an anonymous writer; and (3) a 1900 pamphlet published by the Gaelic League and written by Agnes O'Farrelly. I could imagine this following some of the lyrical trends apparent in 'The Tower' and 'Psychotzar'.
No doubt someone watching this forum will know what N.O.X. stands for, but I have been trying to figure it out. All I've come up with so far (apart from NOx being Nitrous Oxides) is "Norwegian Orange Xenomorphs" and I really think that's unilikely. So, any guesses?
For those interested in getting a taste of the 'ballet', if you haven't seen them already, there's a few videos available on YouTube (one of them copied onto Motorpsychodelicclips) that were recorded at one of last summer's festival appearances at which the piece was played.
Do not watch these videos if you prefer not to hear possible material from the 'ballet' before getting the album.
I guess the long piece is the collaboration with Kvernberg and Horntveth, written for the Gullvag celebration. I've been wondering what would happen to that.
