Given the length of this epic gig, It’s going to take poor Bernie a month of Sundays to get it all out! Deferred gratification isn’t a bad thing, but I can’t wait for the Unicorn stuff!
There IS a God!
Thanks for the heads-up, ThorEgil!
On the evidence so far, Bernie’s work looks and sounds better than ever! Great dynamic range, including that bottom end! I’m loving ‘Mountain’!
Clearly, this was a special night!
Apologies if someone else has already mentioned this, but, reading through the September issue of Prog, I was surprised this evening to come across a three-page article on the band, including an interview with Bent. This is completely unannounced on the cover (Kate Bush).
Full page ad in Prog. Majors on these two but also shows the last five albums with three press quotes for each one.
Synchronicity! This guy must have been posting his review of ‘The Ladder’ round about when I made my last post. He knew nothing about Motorpsycho and was ”shocked”! It’s what he’s been looking for and he really likes the bass player!
I’m probably only saying something with which most here would agree, but I’m at a loss to understand why so many reviews underrate ‘The Ladder’ or opine that it doesn’t fit. For me, it absolutely belongs, and it’s the best opening track in quite a while, although I’ve got a bit of a thing about recent albums kicking off with relatively underwhelming numbers – before going on to be brilliant, of course.
It looks like previously added images are not showing up – only the text of the location bracketed by the old img bookends. I successfully edited my entry so that Buzz Aldrin was restored to his rightful place on the ‘Ancient Astronauts’ thread.
He loves Motorpsycho. Plenty of amusing facial expressions as the album plays, not least when Mona Lisa / Azrael really kicks in. His verdict at the end of side 1: "Famazing!"
Part 2, side 2 to come.
Listening to Motorpsycho: Ancient Astronauts Part 1:
@dongonz: Just want to say I know exactly that feeling you got at the climax of Supper's Ready, because I've had it too. When it hits, my God, it hits! It's a sort of religious or mystical, all-embracing experience.
In contrast to you, I'm really rationing my listens to AA – only two so far – because I want to make it last, so I haven't quite had that with it yet, but there's no doubt it is magnificent. What other band could follow a great album like Kingdom of Oblivion – on its release, probably my favourite album overall with Tomas up to then – with something like this?
And, speaking of Tomas, that performance on Mona Lisa / Azrael is really helping me get over Kenneth!
