I really hope this will be available in another way. 200 euros is a bit much to me so if this is the only way i am afraid i will gonna have to pass on this one.
"We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
Five years, what a surprise
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, that's all we've got"
So, five years ago Supersonic Scientists was released. Since then Motorpsycho released a lot of new stuff:
2016 Spin, Spin, Spin 7â€
2016 Here Be Monsters
2016 Here Be Monsters 2
2017 The California EP 2x 7â€
2017 Begynnelser (2X 10†+ cd + dvd)
2017 The Tower
2018 RW5
2018 A Boxful Of Demons
2018 RW4
2019 The Crucible
2019 The Light Fantastic
2020 Cloudwalkers (semi official)
2020 The All Is One
2020 Xmastime is Here
Obviously, Supersonic Scientists contained mostly material from the regular studio albums. My question is, what songs would you add if you where to update Supersonic Scientists? Tripple lp :MPD:
I'd go for:
Lacuna/Sunrise
In Every Dreamhome
Lux Aeterna
I.C.U
Dreams of Fancy
Always good news. I wonder where they come up with now. And who they brought with them in the studio. Reine?
Can't see the instagram story unfortunately.
I think there are a few reasons.
First of all, Bent quit smoking quite a few years ago. Here is a quote from Leslie from this forum discussing the Tivoli 2008 gig:
Quote:Bent and I compared notes on our respective healthier laifschteilzzz these days along with the shocking mutual discovery that it's not a myth after all, the whole post-smoking weight gain thing…damn…!Incidentally, he was prompted to quit for good by the arrival of his son. A very wise and caring decision. There is nothing remotely cool about watching a (grand)parent die from respiratory disease or subjecting babies and little kids to second hand smoke. Uh-uh.
Second, i think the songs a a bit less personal, less emotional overall. Less about personal experiences and feelings, more fiction and world views. I think. This might change the way of singing somewhat i think. There a exeptions off course, like Lux Aeterna.
Third, they focus more and more on harmonies and vocal arrangements. Also i think more of the singing is double tracked on record.
Last, they have gotten better, especially on record.
Just my two cents.
Finally a live version of My Best Friend! Thank you so much. I still remember clearly how much i loved that one in 2001.
Awesome setlist. How long was the gig? How long was NOX?
Good to see X3 back.
I am glad the band can do gigs in this difficult time. Must be a more than ever special experience to see the band under these circumstances.
Hmm, that's strange. I paid 12 euros shipping for The All Is One + Let Them Eat Cake to the Netherlands and now 4 euros for the single.
Ordered the red vinyl. I love Summertime Is Here. Funny, odd thing to do which i like. The boys keep surprising.
Traslated with Google Translate:
The Motorpsycho train never slows down and within three years completes the GullvÃ¥g trilogy in which our favorite Scandinavian band uses artist HÃ¥kon GullvÃ¥g for the visual part and this time, the cover was created by the artist expressively for the 'album. After “The Tower†and “The Crucibleâ€, from 2017 and 2019 respectively, we come to the third chapter with “The All Is One†conceived in two sessions together with members of the Jaga Jazzist and some of the band's favorite Norwegian musicians.
After this orthodox introduction, let's face it: we will no longer have albums like "Timothy's" Monster "or" Trust Us ", but the beauty of following Motorspycho is just that and much more; I will try to explain it in this short article.
Progressive rock has never really touched my strings, apart from a few Mothers albums, but it's dated stuff, in which references to the years in which it was produced are too evident, with all the admiration for the absolute genius of Zappa . But what differs with Motorpsycho is that Norwegians are one of those rare bands that bring together hardened listeners of different genres, they manage to do the same miracle that Ramones or Motörhead did, in that case, with punks and metalheads, here we agree between alternative and prog rock and more. And they manage, from some albums now, to produce pieces that will be identical in thirty years or more as they manage to blend that alt rock vein with which they grew up and some progressive inspirations of the past without being obsolete even in a riff.
Motorpsycho themselves say so: in the end you will do what you want with this record, it depends on how far you want to go, because "The All Is One" takes its cue from esoteric readings, is full of mythological references, and ideas imaginative from the ancient schools of Tarot and you immediately feel in the title track the desire to differentiate earth and sky, humanity from bestiality, The All Is One, however, is not the highest point of creativity of the album in fact it is a little down in the dumps , let's say that the beginning of the album starts a little weak. Apart from that, talking about a single piece and giving it a judgment is hard, given the countless nuances, in fact it picks up again in the middle and has memorable melodic peaks as well as Magnus' solo right there to those, perhaps a little canonical, 3/4 from the end, where you expect it; but the (melodic) draft of Sæther, worthy of the largest and most hypnotic sonic evolution remaining in the earthly times of a song-form, we find it in The Magpie, perhaps the most enjoyable piece of the album preceded by The Same Old Rock (One Must Imagine Sisyphus Happy) that seems to come out of the unforgettable “Black Hole / Black Canvasâ€.
Delusion (The Reign Of Humbug), a light and dreamy ballad, finally introduces us to the long central section of suites entitled N.O.X. (I, II, III, IV and V), I don't know how long it took me to listen to them all, maybe a whole morning, maybe two days, in short, I can tell you that during that experience time stopped. The Motorpsycho got rid of the cumbersome presence that prevents the flow of events, which was that of cataloging, without leading to the improbable but always keeping in mind a human point of view, which looks to infinity and sees an expression of profound intelligence. , of infinite sweetness and, even if we are unable to get to the bottom of the initiatory meanings of "The All is One", it deserves our veneration, because it is something very distant from the usual disc usable by us listeners of rock, punk rock, garage, experimental (seriously?), pop, indie etc.
"The All Is One" is a work that has culture behind it, the authentic one, the one for which an artist is not enough to know how to play and have a particular sensitivity and write down a piece, here it is about art with a wealth of knowledge huge, years of study, of reading, of lives devoted to the search for sound. Sæther and Magnus are to be considered "auctor", they are like philosophers, poets and classical composers, that is, they perform a function of example and testimony, their music is at the origin, and "produces, increases, integrates, expands, strengthens , completes the insufficient will or personality of another. Provided that "the other" has the strength to learn since I, for example, like all of you, am part of a fast culture, which does not want the explanation of an auctor when listening to a CD but something lighter, ours The problem is that we want to talk about music without knowing it, without knowing what an improvisation is (does the title Ascension remind you of something?) or what music is, then having the arrogance to say the exact opposite. And so we end up creating a "fake culture". We call it "counterculture" but it is not against a shit, it is simply fake, it does not have the shadow of a serious study or research behind it, it is supported by people who are not legitimized to make it grow as true and it does not have the balls to evolve . For this reason then at 40 we move on to something else. With "The All Is One" we have the opportunity to fortify ourselves, to improve ourselves.
So many raving reviews. Incredible.
Amazing album that i just can't stop listening to. Wow.
I noticed that there is something written in the runout grooves of the lp's (besides the catalog numbers:
A: Neutrons
B: Protons
C: Electrons
Morons
Quote:The band released two albums, recorded three more, toured Norway and Europe twice and both the band and all us others in the organization kinda acted like we knew we wouldn’t be allowed to do much at all in 2020.So, after the Ole Paus album and The All Is One there is indeed a third album recorded in 2019. Incredible.
