It looks like a ship and/or incidents on the sea play an important role in the lyrics on this album. Just look at some of the titles:
Flotsam (floating shipwreck)
Doldrums (a special part of the Atlantic ocean described in Samuel Coleridge's book "Rhyme Of The Ancient Mariner", among others. Kapstad must be proud of that Iron Maiden reference…)
Into The Gyre (a circular or spiral form, a vortex [surfer] :lol: )
La Lethe (a river in Greek mythology, several poets have written about it)
Sharks and Mutiny! kinda speak for themselves
And then there were the lyrics from the Nidaros gig which mention looting and pillage. Maybe it's a concept-album about pirates? :lol:
Oh yeah! Btw, the release date in Norway, according to Platekompaniet, is February 10.
13 songs? Something tells me it's really 3-4 long songs, only spread out over several tracks…
I don't want to complicate things too much, but there are actually 3 different sources for the Herzberg gig on Dimeadozen. So you might want to specify a bit further to get ahold of the right person…
"A Fanciful And Fairly Far-Out Musical Fable". Wee, they're going all-out prog rock on this one! Me likes :lol:
Google Translate:
With jazz orchestra and string octet Motorpsycho write as if by accident the rock opera that is so wonderfully far away from the kitsch of the genre, as is humanly possible.
This happy accident began in the fall of 2009 with a simple request to the Norwegian jazz keyboardist Stale Storløkke. The Norwegian Jazz Forum asked for, namely, whether he thought it possible to develop, together with psycho-motor and the Trondheim Jazz Orchestra concert, which together should be listed at the Molde International Jazz Festival 2010.
Since Stale Storløkke and the band were already known for years, but a collaboration never came about, both agreed a welcome into this project. It quickly became clear that all parties concerned with a higher profit and larger stimulus is seen, to write new pieces, instead of old to arrange it differently. After some time now, the idea of ​​development, strings with involvement in the project, which called a string octet, together with master violinist Ola Kvernberg on the plan.
Limitless content, but the project eventually ran into a very open and rough in places, perhaps covered jazzy direction. The two-hour pure instrumental work, which the project is now performed on the scheduled date came, all the players in front of half-baked. To solve this creative nodes, and Motorpsycho Storløkke decided in favor of including the project of revised versions of the pieces, a double LP. And that's a very lucky! Might be expected because even though in 2012 probably no one with a piece of music history, Storløkke and the band have just created a kind. This may sound excessive, but is clear to everyone who hears only a few of the pieces that one sometimes short and sometimes disturbing epic in first and then take in the warm arms. Like a marching band without a head, the project draws on New Year's morning, through a deserted city and driving the frightened drunks in the marrow. Black tendrils grow out of their instruments, which bear at their ends, colorful flowers. They dress up the walls and transform the city into a black-colored maze. Like a Pied us the voice of singer Bent Saether guides you through the gears, though it sometimes appears in the thicket. Swap foreground and background music and clear their seats when we consider only one short of beautiful flowers, a thorny vine takes us rudely from the feet.
This album is a psychedelic and progressive furiosum, soft and hard in equal parts and never predictable. Not associated with any band, hire a couple of strings. This meets a surprise even when viewing the artwork. If the outer shell cool and sober, almost even sobering, so a painting meets the inner guard. Like the music itself is hard to describe, but now takes a prisoner. This must be seen. The finished work should now be listed again live, then we'll meet there. And we remind each other to breathe it.
Quote:P.S. When the Torrent download is is red for extended periods, what is it telling me. I have 50% of the Utrecht video and I'm trying to get Vienna 2002 and "Muziek-o-Droom". They have been non-active for abot 20 hours.Most likely it means that there are no seeders present to seed the complete torrent. But it could also mean that either you or the seeders are not connectable (being firewalled or not having forwarded the port you're using to leech/seed could do so)
Iron Frock is a new song, I think. The way it's described (as a short, hard, heavy rocker), I think it might be the same as Leslie's Vest/On A Plate? Snah on lead vocals?
Either that, or they covered Motorhead's Iron Horse (like they did in Osnabrück earlier this year) and called it Iron Frock on the setlist :lol:
Hi. Unfortunately, that video in its entirety is not available anymore. It is possible someone ripped the stream, and traded it privately. But I haven't seen it for a while.
Parts of it is however available on the Hair Cuts DVD that was released in 2008.
Yeah, I'm also seeing tweets about Coventry Boy, Serpentine and 577 as the first encore!
And somebody mentioned that the opener was 22 mins long :lol:
Like Gusse said. Vortex Surfer was played from 12 o'clock midday on New Year's Eve until 12 o'clock midday on New Year's Day.
A 15 minute excerpt from the gig:
Soundcheck snippet/interview here
Just got back from the gig. More or less the same as in Nidarosdomen; the only real differences were in the improvs. Opening improv was less melodic than the one in Trondheim. Kenneth's drumsolo was good, but still just a drumsolo. Ståle's improv was bordering Supersilent at times. But some of the sounds he pumped out of that organ, will never be played there again :lol: It became more melodic near the end, though.
The songs, however, were imho played a bit tighter than in Trondheim (judging from the Nidaros-bootleg). Same musical themes explored. Highlight of the gig was the second musical theme. I could listen to that B minor Snah guitar theme all day long!
Great gig!
Doesn't seem like anyone recorded it in full. But here's a couple of Youtube-snippets:
