A bit of a stretch, I think.

Sure it’s the same time signature, and maybe the synth bass riff has the same feel as Bent’s bass riff on Kebabels Tårn.
But it’s played in a different key, and not at all the same notes. And honestly Bent & Snah doesn’t strike me as hardcore gamers who would be overtly familiar with semi-obscure video game music (I could be hilariously wrong though )

This isn’t nearly the same as that Dimmu Borgir instrumental that was blatantly ripped off an old Amiga game.

[otherdemon]

Yeah, I remembered it now.

[otherdemon]

Btw, setlist was:

Psychonaut
Quick Fix
Hey Jane
Rock Bottom
Mountain
X-3
Hyena
Into the Sun

@CaptainAubrey: Last show with Järmyr was this one:

It was an outtake from Maiden Voyage which got released on a compilation called Knall The Album Vol. 3.

And judging by the image on Bandcamp it looks like it’s going to get a 7″ NFGS release

Thanks for the setlist, Francesco.

The most natural question to ask is:
Ingvald or Olaf on drums?

Other than that, zero extended jams.

EDIT:

Walkin’ with J and The Slow Phaseout first time in 22 years.
Another Ugly Tune first time in 30 years

@Devotional: As much as I love that Killer B’s set, 4 cover songs is way too many for a 50 minute hit single set

Lowest odds set is most likely, and I honestly wouldn’t mind it. But you have to take into consideration that Tons of Rock is a festival veering most into hard-rock/metal territory. So Go to California and The Other Fool might be way too soft in those circumstances.

It would be cool if they did something similar to the Quart ’96 gig where they ‘protested’ against being put on a metal stage by playing their heaviest tracks in then current repertoire. Or maybe they’ll protest by playing their absolute softest hits LOL

I honestly don’t have many expectations for this one. As long as I get some sing-along hits along with a couple obscure surprises, I’ll be more than happy

[otherdemon]

Info regarding Tons of Rock:

MP are playing from 14:35 – 15:25 that Wednesday.
Timeslot is LOL, but at least they’re not colliding
with anything worthwhile

[otherdemon]

@Punj-Lizard: Thanks for the impression. So not as acoustically based as Yay! I guess.

I’ll have patience this time and just wait for Neigh! to hear the song in its proper context

[otherdemon]

So how is the new song? Does Psycholab sound like a continuation of Yay, or is it back to MP hard-prog-psychedelia?

[otherdemon]

Would love for them to cover this cult band. Sea Shanties is a forgotten, horribly underrated classic.

[otherdemon]

Found an interesting piece of info over at Kulturdirektoratet’s homepage

I 2024 opnar Gulatingsfestivalen 2024 på Tusenårsstaden Gulatinget, en monumental park av skulptør Bård Breivik. Festivalen blir en tverrfagleg fag- og kulturfestival med fokus på juridiske og demokratiske problemstillingar. Vi inviterer bandet Motorpsycho, scenekunstkompaniet De Utvalgte og koreograf Kristin Helgebostad, til å utarbeide eit større bestillingsverk. Sammen vil de utarbeide et helhetskunstverk der det teatrale, filmatiske og musikalske inngår i en sømløs kunstnerisk helhet. Tema for festivalen vil vere folkestyre, tillit og fred. Festivalen vil belyse temaet med en rekke arrangement over 4 dager som kulminerer med denne forestillingen. Forestillingen vil kretse om de stemmeløses rettigheter i fortid, nåtid og fremtid.

They received a grant of 200.000 NOK for this commissioned piece, so looks like it’s on Festival takes place September next year.

I had a similar problem. I ordered it, and chose to physically collect at the store. A few days after release date, and still no notification of it being ready for pick-up. Got an e-mail saying it had been sent in the mail.

Nearly 2 weeks later got an e-mail saying it was ready for picking up at the store. Must’ve been laying in a dark dusty corner of the shop First time ever I had a delay with MP related orders, so it was probably due :P
