Thanks for the tip casale. There’s also another MP-related torrent up now on Dime:
Bent and Snah with friends playing a bunch of MC5 and Stooges covers in Trondheim 1993.

They ended with The Witch where they got help from Jaga.
I also have to correct my original review slightly: After calling Mr.Victim the worst track on the album, I have to say that it has grown on me. My initial response to it was that it was messy and all-over-the-place. But after a few more listens it kinda clicked, and now I think that it is a decent track. So the first half of Diana is now the worst part of the record.
Haha! Just one remark: You said you had to weld your Bent dog’s asshole shut. Are you
sure it wasn’t because you couldn’t stop sodomizing it? 8O
Good point Rat. Snah does lead vocals on Riding The Tiger and Mr Victim, so it could be that he wrote the lyrics for ’em. But Bent & Snah both have their own distinct style of writing lyrics.
I also picked up my Rockefeller ticket. Surely looking forward to hearing COTF-material + new Oslo material(?) + some old classics :lol:
An awesome Norwegian COTF review (5 of 6):
Nope it hasn’t been deleted/removed. Because I searched it now, and there are a bunch of Soulseek users who are sharing it.
But if he can’t find it, that’s his problem not mine.
Motorpsycho Child Of The Future should be enough to write.
No offense, but it is slightly sad that you need help knowing what to search for :evil:
Ok, at last I’ve been getting to listen to the record enough (3 times is the required minimum). And here are my 2 cents:
I actually think that The Ozzylot is the best track on here. Still shows that Bent is able to pen great indie poprock songs. And irresistible vocal harmonies. And the drum pattern is similar to Hyena. Classic!
Riding The Tiger was the track on the Youtube-clip from Roadburn. Cool stuff with some fucked up time signatures. And just enough at 5 minutes (it would’ve been overlong if it was longer) And they fucking sampled one of their one songs (Tristano). But me likes!
Whole Lotta Diana has the end jam which I thought was very familiar. Well guess what: They played it live last year. For those of you who have the Vega Copenhagen bootleg, check out the version of Superstooge. The mid-section has a big portion of the Diana end jam (which I like more than the first part of the song). So a bit ambivalent about this one.
Cornucopia is also very cool, although I like the verses better than the chorus for some reason. Also, Snah’s finest solo on the album midway in the song.
Mr. Victim IS the weakest track just because it doesn’t have anything attractive about it. Decent main bass riff and good vocals from Snah & Bent, other than that, NADA. Thankfully it’s the shortest track on the record.
I was right in my predictions about The Waiting Game being an acoustic Bent livingroom song
And it fits right into the line of those songs (7th Dream, Feel, Wishing Well, Sailboat Song etc.) Nice melody, cool background effects, the vintage sore Bent vox and a nice buildup just over halfway with some el-guitars and other instruments added. Second best track on the record after the opener.And I was like others slightly disappointed with the version of Insert Songtitle that is the title track. As mentioned, this was played live in summer festivals and Norwegian tour 2006 with Jacco van Rooij. And the fast live-version they played then was quite superior to the slow sludgey stomper they ended up recording in studio. Still it is a good song, and I can imagine them speeding it up live. But this slow version doesn’t quite do the song justice.
Overall another good album, but not a classic like LLM. Compared to Barracuda, it is way better. This is a way more even album, although Dr Hoffmann’s Bicycle is better than everything on here. And I can’t wait to hear some of these songs live (they have a shitload of potential being experimented upon in concert)
