'SHORT interview with Bent…', LONG clash of psychonauts, while Bent moved on with his music a long time ago…You guys must be so proud of all your wisdom, and more important, you always want to help the others out when they have the WRONG view on things. But no, it is setting your ego's aside that may one day bring you in the position of helping another. Can music get us there, I don't think so, neither can the most inspired lyrics Bent wrote.
Sometimes when you're a fan of certain more interesting bands you will find yourself among nerds or cult followers. So do I really, as a MP fan have to find myself among 'bickering intellectuals'? Please let's keep with the magic of music!
@suntripper; :lol: hihihi. and for a coversong: Una Paloma Blanca
Yeah, me too, (except for B.S.) I love to sing along at the top of my voice when these poppy gems come along. I loved it when at the Utrecht gig, was is 2019? Bent anounced Neverland as their least favorite song, and subsequently they played it in a completely "We don't care if you start throwing those eggs and rotten tomatoes now"-way, with Reine singing! Also, as a Dutchman, of course I know it's really: " Come to Netherland"! And I'm gonna put it on right now to celebrate the coming of spring :lol:
I wouldn't change anything neither. Every album is like a person from the same family, and I love them all, warts and all (well maybe It's A Love Cult and Phanerothyme are the cousins locked away in the cellar) and what happened to me a lot of times is that they played a song from my personal 'warts-section' live and finaly (re-)animated it so that I had to get back to play it from the album and finally got to love it (for example Uberwagner(or Triggerman). So hey, what do you know, following MP resembles time-travelling in the Tardis, a lot, (says Who, hehe)
Downstairs playing the lp's, and the order of the songs is fixed although you can pick a side 1-4 to put on, but upstairs, playing the cd IN RANDOM ORDER , some fascinating events happened. One morning all the atmospheric and folky stuff followed upon one-another, and it was the new MP album. Then yester-eve all the hardrock stuff was picked out of it and it was another the new MP album. But I know it's good when the earworms start kicking in and I find myself singing Lady May or the reffrain of the title-song. The Cosmoctopus is indeed sensational and could very well be named Larks Tongues in Aspic part 7 (or is it
, although I cannot experience it as a unity or 'song'. But hey, that crazy spiralling guitar part from a stage will sure be something! :MPD:
Enjoying this new compilation album (as in compilation of leftovers from previous recording sessions worked over) on repeat for 2 days now and I'd say it's well crafted music as expected, but nothing too shockingly new in the MP universe. But it's o.k. , something more like N.O.X. or their first work for modern-classical orchestra arriving already would surely be too much too soon. Just sitting back, enjoying the grooves and shouting out DEATH TO FALSE METAL ! now and again
ja! Practising headbanging now. Nice glimpse, but I agree with others here, it should be appreciated within the context of the whole album
raaahhhhh! Vikingbloodboiling
and what I also think is a particularly good aspect of what MP does, is processing their study of western music history through their own unique filter transforming into new music, building on what has already been created by other greats
For example; I knew about Stravinsky, but they got me into Bartok. As well as into Magma,Groundhogs,Husker Du, you name it, loads of others.So with every new album, I trust them to offer me new links to music to be discovered
Something (not entirely) else (to a Motorpsychodelic sonic build-up) here :

But we don't know anything, do we now. For the worst, the vaccine could be useless in a couple of months, what with the virus mutating all over. I feel pretty sad and hopeless about experiencing MP live again. Now there's only hope for new recorded material which would really let the sun come out, but hey, this used to be the greatest live band in the world…
Meanwhile my brethren, stay safe and support others where you can. We have chances to make our lives meaningful for sure amid all the restrictions. Please stay away from the stupid conspiracy shit. I'm working hard as a nurse in a hospital and I experience the truth about Covid 19-20-21 every day. The shit's for real. Greetings and let's not lose hope
Good heavens, Punj, for a moment there you made me believe you finally acquired a RECORD PLAYER ! :lol: but since you link to bandcamp, I understand "giving the album a spin" is really spinning data through your DATAMASKIN ! (Norwegian language is such fun!). Anyway, anyhow, anywhere, I'll be sure to give it a listen, love, Jeroen
@Ratmaus; that's right. I suspect some other cheeky effects here, though
Hi Bernie, it's very much like 'Summertime is here' from the Another Ugly EP, with altered lyrics and I'd say a lot more spiked up sound, better produced and with a great "showbiz" vocal singing. I.m.o. MP now shares the Nr. 1 spot with Slade for alltime best Xmas rocksocksong! It's uplifting, makes you want to sing along and play it over again.
So now, who dares to guess the identity of the special guest star (I guess the singer?), I'll go for the 10 kilo Norske Xmasbread and venture it's Lars Lien. What do you guys think? :idea:
