That is so very sweet of you! In Berlin and Hamburg the audience spontaneously sang “Happy birthday” too.

It’s a thorough prog rock effort with a jazzy touch. Great production and heavily orchestrated with the use of mellotrons, synths etc. The first half features some organic and open improvs, the second half is more composed ultimately climaxing in a sweet and sticky synth-prog-overload in the last track.
Just thought I’d add that to the comprehensive info contained in Thomas’s interview/article.

A review.
Spacy show with much deeper jams than Berlin! Particularly the last 4 songs of the main set were a seguefest with a very inspired Snah. The jams inside “Diana” and “Cornucopia” went to unexplored places and the band totally deconstructed the songs. Lots of heavy wah-wah jamming before taking it down to the most quietest and having Kenneth play a solo. Between “KDH” and “Alchemyst” Snah played the same burning free form space he had used in Berlin to intro “Cornucopia”! Great bluesy “Superstooge” too. The setlist said “You lied” after “Superstooge” and then “Hogwash” but instead they directly went into the “Hog” which was a 13 min version complete with “Halleluwah” jam! “Sungravy” was beautiful. The people sang “Happy Birthday” again. This show had much more of an x-factor than Berlin…

It is Lars Klokkerhaug (sound-man up to 1995)! Snah confirmed that today! He died of cancer which he has been struggling with since the early 90s. RIP.

Some random notes:
Great show! However, this felt rather like a good start with some potential still being unexplored. A fair amount of jam and space but mostly quite contained and rather straight in character. Many exiting moments though: Several minutes of pure space intro by Snah to “Cornucopia” and then it even featured a “The other one”-jam (The Grateful Dead), complete with lyrics! Great “Glow” too, and then Bent-driven “Loneliness”, quite a funky version. Massively extended ending to “577” after a loooong jam! Bent let the crowd sing the chrorus of “Feel”, lovely! Audience then sang “Happy birthday Motorpsycho” before “LLM”! Great version of the latter with fantastic Snah-space in the last part. “Golden core” was intense, hypnotic and systmatically built up!
I’ll have to sleep about it to ultimatey be able to evaluate this great night!
Good night!

From Facebook:
50 people at the Malmo gig (but good people!). They played less than 2hrs, closing with Walking on the water… Really good concert. Cosy…
Just 50? Wow that is really sparse.
Given the relatively short and confined sets of the last three nights I think a super space show is a safe bet tonight in Berlin!

Don’t worry, just write anything, if only a friendly hello!
