Like the notes on the sleeve(s) say; the series is to highlight the improvisational and experimental side of MP-live, i.m.o. it's great to have document of this. Funny: first time I played the records I tried to figure out wich song I was listening to, thinking: wow, how are they gonna transfer this into TAIFUN ?!! Then I figured I best let go all expectations, forget about songs, and just dive into the ocean of sound!
Yes, and again I am amazed, and (have I said this a lot of times before?)how is it possible these guys still get better at what they do! I've heard so many of the Tower songs for about a year now, and still, every rendition an adventure. And now, proven by these vid's, like Bartok says in his post above "less muscle, though heavier", to me that's like the truly great musicians, able to convey this power with such apparent ease! Maastricht-gig is getting closer, and I feel like needing to go to 'church' again, to experience the magic and the wonder…long may they rock! (and jazz around!) :STG:
(Year Zero Video)And how about that drummerboy! Great playing again, to me he's like Geb, Kenneth,
AND Bill Bruford ( the breaks) all in one, not to mention he's very much himself. Yeah, Snah is God, Bent is God, but Tomas is God!!!
Yes, mr. Visitant, you wrote a very good article on MP there, looking for the core-experience of their music to put into words, very good. Ofcourse this forum will always be a lot about lists, tips and tastes, but actually, this kind of contribution I like the most; what is the MAGIC and the WONDER to you, to us (not to analyse it perse, but to describe these indeed life-changing experiences through the communication that is music)! Keep on!
Thanx, Krist for info. So one hour of power in Leeuwarden…It's hard to decide but I guess I have to skip this one…for me it's not nextdoor and I have to get up at 5.00 am next day for work.
to everyone going; have a good one, see you all anyway at the Maastricht gig later !
@TheVoid; totally agree with you on this topic. I enjoy beautiful cd covers and boxes. Since I purchased the box versions of the first MP albums I now double up on the original ep's ( extra material in the boxes) but they are so dear to me, just holding something like the mountain ep in my hands and looking at it makes me feel so happy, these carton&plastic objects are to me a lot more than data-storage of music, they've been with me through fases of my life and mean a lot!
Also, MP packaging is usualy Artwork! ( the great Kim Hiorthoy)
Does anyone here know the timeslot for the MPgig at Welcome To The Village Leeuwarden 22/7 ???
The website doesn't mention (yet) ? I may need another dose of the Blasting Psychojazz Rockskronk,
but am pondering to go by train or Zilveren Schicht (my car that is)…?
The unpaid enthusiasts are forgiven, but boy, so good that we're back online. Not being a "social media type" at all myself, I noticed this time I was getting some ACUTE WITHDRAWEL SYMPTOMS !
Well…since the gig in st. Petersburg was such a gem, it couldn't have been certain hackers of a certain Tyrannis, now could it?(just joking)…For days I want to ask a burning question on the forum, which I will now, in the 'live 2018'-thread. Thanks Vegard and unpaid enthusiasts!
Same here, yearning for a cd anomaly apparition phenomenon of RW5, in fact of all RW!
So far the boxes have contained a lot of extra material consisting of early versions of songs, and I find it fascinating to be able to witness some of their processing this way! No regrets about purchasing these special editions. And how about the unreleased first edition of TM, with for example Innersfree, and a different and as well thundering Grindstone. The amzing holy grail of the KiT-sessions ('when the world sleeps')in the Blissard box! Man, to me that is some of their masterpieces, song and sound-wise!And the A&Dap box contains the Rockefellar gig so we can all shake our wigs out…
I must admit the poppy tunes of LTEC and some that followed are not my fave MP stuff, but it could as well change when I would hear some early not so orchestrated and wellproduced versions of these songs! So keep em coming!
And well filmed it is as well as okay sound! Saw it and was vvveeerrrrrryyy impressed all over again. These 3 guys…what great musicianship! Near perfect performance!
:STG:
(@Mikke) Haha, have you tried 2 sets of RW5 on 3 turntables ?
seriously: I sure hope there will be a cd only release, for all tables in my house are square ones…or am I supposed to use the lp's as yet more Motospsychotic wall decoration? The heat of this summer's sunrays upon them might curl them up into some nice MP ashtrays!Now there's merchandise!
Is that legal?…Hey, they're Tusslers, right?! :wink:LOL:T.I.T.S, hadn't even noticed that. Maybe the tribute band in the making could be called B.A.L.L.S ?
@Ercarnar; I agree. The singing AND playing of MPmusic is difficult in the first place, and than there's the close harmony stuff, difficult to do live I would think. When I watched 'Crackemback' I think I noticed from Bent's behaviour there was a monitor problem? Nowadays I often wish for MP to have their own steady soud crew, for the stage as well as for the concert halls, sometimes it's just too bad their fantasic playing get's screwed up by sound-problems (Alkmaar!)…
