Thank you so much for such a comprehensive and absorbing read.
On the evidence of what I have heard, Bent is singing really well, as you say. So that’s great. On the other hand, your report further strengthens my partly-formed view that Olaf is, sadly, not the man for the job, although I appreciate that it would take any drummer time to bed in.
Not a new band to any of us, I know (although a relatively new song), but, just in case anyone misses this:
Pills, Powders & Passionplays. Very nice! Thanks Sonja Schauhoff.

(see also Sonja’s small clip – Lacuna/Sunrise, I believe.)
I would love to get hold of them too.
This isn’t quite what you’re after, Bernie, but it’s a way of hearing one of them.
@Krist: I’ve been looking for your thoughts on Yay! I’d be interested to read them. I note that not many people are expressing a view.
That’s true about the pre-Tomas Begynelser extracts, annoyingly absent from the record, but what Tomas added to the AA versions was immense.
I think it is difficult to be precise, as tracks from two of the albums were not necessarily being made with a particular album in mind, while the other came out of a specific project. Without doing my research on this one, weren’t tracks on Kingdom of Oblivion and Yay! drawn from a period that overlapped with the Gullvåg Trilogy years, with Yay! tracks in particular being more a product of the COVID times? Maybe Ancient Astronauts came last, and, if so, would be a fitting way for Tomas to sign off.
Someone else will give you a better answer, but that is my vague understanding.
