There is already a thread regarding this topic: http://motorpsycho.fix.no/comeonin/forums/topic.php?id=284.
Just noticed that KOKA lists the Berlin gig next year as “20th anniversary tour” too – here.
Which makes sense because MP played their first show in April 1990, so the 20th anniversary of the very moment when the band stepped out into the public for the very frst time is actually still ahead of us.

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

Here is the tracklist of the new album, in correct spelling and with running times:

2) X-3 (Knuckleheads in space) (09:00) *
3) The bombpoof roll and beyond (6:00)
4) Close your eyes (3:30)
5) W.B.A.T. (9:40)
6) Gulliver’s travails Pt. I-IV (22:00) **
(total: 62:10)
…………………………………..
* feat. Matthias Eick on trumpet
** feat. Hanne Hukkelberg on vocals
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…

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