@Blashyrkh: Yeah, I prefer all live versions of Close Your Eyes to the studio version.

Same concert also has a great cover of Macca’s Maybe I’m Amazed with Baard on lead vocs.

Featuring Reine & Olaf.

I like this one better than I thought I would. Thought this was going to be straightforward cock-rock (which is one of my least favorite musical aspects of MP). But it had solid riffs, unusual melodies and a standard A+ solo by Snah in the middle.

Lyrics about as subtle as a ton of bricks

Some visual evidence:

@Ratmaus: I received the same mail 12 days ago. But according to the tracking at posten.no, it was sent from Trondheim Monday this week. Guessing the Greece/Bulgaria concerts this weekend delayed things.

Received Ahsol Caravan today. I knew it was gonna be a record I don’t listen to that often. But at least I know the purchase of it funds exciting MP releases in the future

The Coming of Prince Rupert is the closest thing to an actual song here (great guitar solos by Snah, reminds me of Manuel Göttsching alà Ashra era.) And the 10 minute drone about Yeni the Yeti is really mesmerizing and hypnotic.

I have to be in a specific mood to listen to this record.
The movie synopsis in the inlay tray is hilarious though

First live version of Stalemate since 2001.
Makes sense that they’re playing it in Greece

How was the new song?

[otherdemon]

Both of them up digitally @ Bandcamp now

Also, there’s Bandcamp Friday today. So a possibility to maybe save a few bucks.

Woohoo, managed to secure one of the 977 copies of this album

Started listening to the Bergen Theater 2023 recordings again because I have a suspicion some of that material is going to be part of Ahsol Caravan think I’ll just download COTF this time.

@The Other Anders: When I ordered I did not need to make a Paypal account, there was a second option of ‘pay with credit card’. Might be Norway only, though.

As usual you are the MVP, bernie.

Thanks a lot!

Crowdfund the first ever CD release of this demo

[otherdemon]

Looks like the Bear Stone setlist was:

Cosmoctopus
Stanley
Psychonaut
Mountain
Rock Bottom

40 mins. Bent had to play a borrowed bass due to SAS and KLM showing their true colours of incompetence

Good to see Ingvald’s tendonitis apparently healed up
