This would be kinda neat:
The Visitant
Dreamhome
She Left on the Sunship
Through the Veil
Ãœberpilgrim
Whip That Ghost
Hell
Lacuna/Sunrise
Psychotzar
Hogwash–>Starhammer–>Hogwash
The Crucible
—
K9
The Tower
Possibly doable in 3-ish hours?
I've had it for about a week now and I like it a lot. The two new songs are catchy and well crafted pop/prog tunes, and certainly more than mere "EP throwaway" tracks. It's also nice to hear some of the older songs again, some of them I haven't heard in maybe 10 years or so. Here in this setting, it almost sounds like a fresh pop album!
Oh and the booklet makes for a very amusing read. All in all a brilliant package
TGS is a fantastic group! The original line-up is pretty much the epitome of scandinavian psychedelic music imho. The earliest incarnation of TGS is Pärson Sound, dating back to the mid sixties, and Reine actually compiled a wonderful box set from this period, released on Subliminal Sounds some years ago. I highly recommend checking it out if you haven't already!
After a few spins I am very pleased with this record – and I suspect it will keep growing on further listenings. There's a lot of things going on here and a lot to take in.
Psychotzar is brilliant – love the Sabbath-heaviness! Lux is very nice too. But the title track is the highlight of the album imo – that doom/drone part is absolutely stellar, very excited to see how that beast will unravel live. Overall another humdinger in the psychoverse! :STG:
Having attended both the Kolbotn and Drammen gig, I agree the sound was far superior at the former. Although the guys for some reason seemed to be in a better mood at Kolben, and had less technical difficulties, that gig also felt a bit "safe" in comparison. The Drammen gig on the other hand, I feel had more of a nerve to it, and had some stellar jams. To me Lacuna/Sunrise was a definite highlight, probably the best version I have seen of that song. Dream Home, The Wheel and The Tower were great as well.
