hey guys! I’ve been out of work for a couple of months, and am considering offering my copy of this LP for sale to help out with expenses. Not something I ever wanted to do, but, can’t listen to any records if I don’t pay the light bill! :D
contact me at asamford23 at gmail dot com and we can chat about it. Thanks!
hey guys, I've done a pretty nice vinyl rip of this LP, is it cool to post a wetransfer link here? If not, message me — asamford23 at gmail dot com — and i'll send a link.
this has the full story behind the release…
I get that it's frustrating not to be able to get the LP outside of the US, but, at least you guys in Europe get to see them regularly, and don't have to pay high shipping fees to get most of the cool limited special releases. Can't us stateside fans just have this ONE?
I checked out a lot of stuff in this thread that i wasn't already familiar with, a lot of really great stuff!
I would be humbled and honored if anyone wanted to check out any of my music!
interesting thread! I discovered Motorpsycho in 2010 completely by accident when I saw the cover of Heavy Metal Fruit and thought "this looks like an album I would enjoy" and it wasn't but a couple of minutes into Starhammer and I was a fan…. however, the back catalog was definitely overwhelming and it has taken me really until now to properly digest and absorb MOST of it, and a lot of it is still pretty fresh for me! For example even though I would count The Tower and Heavy Metal Fruit as my two favorites, my current obsession is Angels And Daemons At Play which I can't seem to get enough of.
Supersonic Scientists (both the album and the book) helped a lot with recognizing the massive scope of what this band has accomplished, and also helped me dive into the back catalog in a non-sequential way, bouncing around from era to era not always expecting but always enjoying what I was hearing. As someone who spent most of their teenage years in the 90's as a rabid music fan, record store employee, fledgling musician, etc, Motorpsycho should have been one of my favorite bands for the past 25 years, but, I was in America, so how was I to know? Plus, I actually remember getting the promo for that shitty American Motorpsycho back in my record store days, so the name was associated with that in my mind for a long time….
At this point, I'm just thankful that I've discovered this band when I did, and now am trying to make up for all the lost time! There are so many bands and albums that I love, but for at least the past 6 months, 75% of my listening has been Motorpsycho, I have become obsessively hooked, and foresee no burnout. My aim now is to make it over to Europe for a couple of shows so I can witness the live experience in person!
