@kjesso – No it wasn't that interview. It might have been on the En Konsert For Folk Flest video. But thanks for this one – I'd seen it last year, but it's good to watch again. As for answering my questions, I'm just looking for stuff like this video, or anecdotes or anything else any of you can share or point to that you've picked up over the years.
@ mybestfriend, Johnny and JERO – Thanks for your input and insights. All helping to colour in the bigger picture of what I'm learning about the band.
As this is my first time following the band create an album from inception, I'm very excited to follow the announcements or drips of information that come through. I get the impression they're not big on announcements and interviews, but that when they do do them, they don't hold much information back.
I'd love to see collaborations with Fiske or Lo, but based on Tomas' post in Facebook, it seems like only he, Fuzzbass and God are currently in the studio.
@boomer – Far out!!
@Tomcat – In Düsseldorf, Reine seemed to have a much bigger profile than at Alkmaar and Roadburn, and I'd love to see either he or Kristoffer (or both) play a role in the new recordings. At present, though, we know from Tomas' Facebook post that only the three of them are in the studio. Whatever happens, I can't wait.
I've been watching and listening to these excellent five videos over and over. Just can't get enough. For me they've become a kind of Roadworks 5.5
@Mark – The comment by Onkelfuzzbass was made in response to another person who posted in the original Instagram post (by motorpsychoband) that started this thread. Click on the link in the original post and view the comments.
On Instagram someone asked: What the ??? I am 10 minutes away are we meeting up?
The response from "onkelfuzzbass" (which must be Bent, yeah?): yeah, hop on by whenever! tracking and doing it, so anytime is as good as any
@ boomer – I just checked out his FB page too. I love it where someone asks who he is with in the studio and his response is "Fuzzbass & God".
And yes, he confirms they're recording with Scheps.
I was just doing some digging and discovered that the band posted on Instagram on 9 March 2017 when they were in the studio in LA and The Tower was released early September. That's a five month period from studio to release. Based on that, we could see the next album in January. So when Bent said "after Christmas", he wasn't joking. I'm new to all this, but it seems to me that when the band say they're going to do something, there's a pretty good chance it'll happen. This makes a change from being a Yes fan: they do so many interviews and whenever they mention anything to do with new material, it usually turns out to be nothing.
I can't wait for more news.
@ boomer – Makes my day too!!
I've been waiting for this news since Bent announced after their gig in Timisoara in March that he hoped a new album would be out some time after Christmas. Great news!!
Year Zero – Düsseldorf (not my video)
@Devotional Thanks. It's been a pretty blessed journey so far, but what blows my mind is the band have been doing this for so many years already and now I've been lucky enough that I got nudged into their sphere.
I was fortunate enough to hear both The Wheel and Plan #1 in London last year, my first MP gig. I had only heard each of them maybe only a couple of times before the gig. Seeing them play The Wheel again yesterday was mind-blowing. And something one of my UK friends said was really true, it's good to see them where the appreciation is so strong. It's very lacklustre in the UK. At both Köln and Düsseldorf I could clearly see the band getting off on the energy. My plan #1 is to get back to see them in Germany hopefully next year. But before that… Drammen!
