I think you make a lot of good points, Shakti. I wouldn't want to tinker with the past too much, although I've often considered making my own compilation of concise hard rock Kenneth-era tracks comprising all of Child of the Future plus The Promise and the best bits of Motorpnakotic Fragments and The Light Fantastic. What a hard-hitting double that would be!
However, I do think recent material would have been better served by having N.O.X. as a stand-alone album, perhaps with the addition of something in a similar vein – or maybe those heavy parts from Begynnelser that inexplicably didn't make it onto the audio version.
@ Kid A: I was sort of with you until you wanted to leave out The All Is One side D. I think that's good stuff – maybe suffering from following on from N.O.X. The reverssion from something so radical and original to something belonging more to the classic rock genre might work live, but it diminshes what follows on disc, which is a shame. In a different context, Dreams of Fancy might garner rave reviews. Personally, I think it is a brilliantly constructed composition. If there's a bit of late Led Zep to it, I would say it could grace any of their later albums. Like Chrome is pretty fair too (also a touch of Led Zep there).
@JERO: "the cousins tucked away in the basement" – that tickled me!
He's particularly keen on Dreamkiller, quite hot on The Hunt and Lurker, and not so positive about some of the rest. Nowhere near as good as The All Is One, he reckons. He makes a comparison with Porcupine Tree. Can't see it myself.
While we are in a Hawkwind mood, check out the recent album from Nik Turner (Hawkwind) and Youth (Killing Joke):

@ Punj Lizard
Many thanks for the link. Those snippets have really got my hopes up – I wasn't so excited by The Waning extract.
Let's face it, even an average MP album would wipe the floor with pretty much everything else, which is remarkable for a 30-year old band.
Quote:LAUT.de: CTS Eventim contemplated the option to tie concert going to vaccinating. The German Ethics Council declined giving any privileges to vaccinated people. How do you stand on the topic?BENT: I think vaccination certificates are reasonable, so I would not have any problem with such a regulation.
LAUT.de: Conspiracy theories are on an all-time high. Despite polls showing that a majority of the populace supports goverment measures, support for mandatory masks, vaccination efforts and hard lockdown rules are dwindling. Are opinions divided among your friends too?
BENT: Not really. We are so incredibly annoyed by all this Trump- and Alt right-bullshit already, that we reject any new conspiracy theories by default.
Now listen to a real-life Viking (!) and successful novelist from Norway, Bjorn Andreas Bull-Hansen. Here is his Wikipedia page:

I might be able to upload or, in some way, share the Freakzone interview, although possibly not for a while.
Advice about the best way to do this (without having to sign up or register anywhere) would be appreciated.
A couple of legal cases.
Top lawyer Dr. Reiner Fuellmich successfully prosecuted VW over the emissions scandal and convicted Deutsche Bank as a criminal enterprise. He is working hard, as part of the Corona Investigative Committee, to bring a class action lawsuit in Germany.

Meanwhile, in the UK, Michael O'Bernicia (The Bernician) has just laid papers alleging Pandemic Fraud.
Irrelevant and unpleasant comments to follow as usual, I suppose.
These could all simply be coincidences. I just wish everyone well.
@boomer former helm
Thanks. I wasn't aware of it, but I'll definitely be getting that Amorphous Androgynous album to add to my Monstrous Psychedelic Bubble collection (all recommnded).
Listening to Motorpsycho: The N.O.X. Suite Part, thoughts and opinion
K÷93
released last Friday
If you can get past everything else competing for your attention, listen to the guitar's beautiful tone and shimmering chords. As one comment has it, "That guitar feels like melted chocolate being poured into my ears by a naked lady!"
Quote:First of all, I take my hat off to you for doing that kind of work rather than chasing money and a bogus form of status. I also pay tribute to you for asserting that having this discussion here is perfectly valid. However, I must ask, do you really think I am so inhuman as to care less about such vulnerable people than I do about my little bit of freedom? What makes you think that?I accept that I made an error of judgement. I tried to strike a conciliatory tone, even though you had misrepresented and insulted me. I should have realised that you don't read carefully, as further evidenced by your recent, unjustified, unpleasant and wide-of-the-mark invective.
Even those who agree with you will remember, once the dust has settled, your nasty manner.
By the way, no, there's nothing wrong with making money. Chasing money – the term I used – is something quite different. Take a look at the eye-watering amounts raked in by the pharmaceutical companies. Do you think there's no room for corruption there?
I had already seen that, for most people, it is only once they or a loved one are seriously damaged by the pharmaceutical industry that they begin to ask questions. Then they start to wonder why they didn't ask questions before. Even if none of these beleaguered scientists' warnings ever come true, sadly, that is going to be an experience a fair few reading this will have to go through. It is desperately sad.
With chasing money and the pharmaceutical industry particularly in mind, I am reminded of something from somewhere:
"Love of money is the root of all evil."
