      Maybe, but it shines through all the way what’s the reviewer’s cup of tea and what’s not. Which makes it easy to make up one’s own mind without minding the rating, and that’s a good thing.

        To go full circle I’ll just say «see my previous answers in this thread». :D

          Wow. I think this is the first time I catch some (early) 80s vibe from a Motorpsycho(delic) tune, although just in a few glimpses. Very nice! But man, unless they make use of the dreaded autotune I’m more than a bit worried about what some of the vocal parts will sound like in a live setting. Educated guess: godawful! :STG:

            Hah! I knew it, how can it be anything else? (And where the hell am I going to find the money to buy this? Aaargh)

              Gotta say, though: both LLM (2008) and HMF (2010) are on my top five artwork-wise, among the «regular« MP LPs. Ok, enough off-topic, I guess.

                Snah touched upon this subject in the edition of Sure Oppstøt that was included with the Terje Brekkstad box thingie. If I remember correctly, he said something about feeling «outsmarted» and «numb» when presented to Kim’s later output for them. As much as I love Kim’s works, I must say I’m totally with Snah here. In fact, I might have held some of the 2010s albums in higher regard if the covers weren’t so … bleak?

                  The website says after their 3 year license period expires, the artists are free to do whatever they want with the audio files and covers. Some of us might just want to wait until 2024, then.

                    Huh. I seem to remember Bent hinting about a 10” rerelease happening whenever they would get their hands on «a decent copy» of the original release. That was back in 1998, if I’m not mistaken. Only took ‘em 23 more years, then!

                      Come to think of it, could that circle thingy be from one the vinyl sides of the 3 Songs for Rut single?

                        Behind the Sun-era, perhaps? If so, 2014.

                          Well, he wrote it, didn’t he? It’s high time he got to sing it w/o the cheeky pitched down effect.

                            Came for the MP article, stayed for the Kate Bush bonanza. Thanks, man!

                              Holy cow! I just found the poster up in the attic, along with some other old gems I’d completely forgotten about. The poster and the concert ticket read «Felix tirs 5. mars», which indeed dates the poster to 1996.

                                Thanks for the enlightenment, Rolf! I’m a bit confused now. The poster does indeed look AADAP era, but for the reason mentioned above I’m 99 per cent sure I got mine one year earlier. Sorry if I’m wrong – and hope you find yourself another one, Hercules!

                                  Oh, wow! I used to have one, too, remember sneaking out a late winter night in Lillehammer to grab it from a wall. I actually think this one is from the Blissard era, because when AADAP came out I had moved out of town (and missed out on that year’s gig at Felix).

                                …hanging on to the trip you're on since 1994
