@Kid A Yes i would be great if they included more songs that weren't on a RW release before. But, and i am just speculating here, it could very well be that if they hadn't include Un Chien this release wouldn't be this long but 80 mins like the other volumes. I love this version, and Colgogne is great too. Is it better than the version on RW1? No i don't think so. I think that one i the ultimate version. But it's pretty awesome to have a version that is this good in this audio quality with half of the band new and recorded almost 20 after the RW1 version.
I hope for many many more RW releases in the future. There are a lot of songs that deserve to be released and a lot of tours too i think.
I have a feeling that after the Trus Us box (which i really hope to come out somewhere this year) there isn't that much extra material per album to add. But i off course hope that is not the case.
I received my copies of 3 & 5 yesterday. Very happy with both of them. First of all, the packaging is beautiful as always! Love the liner notes too.
I am very pleased with the song selection on RW5 and like i said in the Hedon show topic i really really love Kristoffer Lo's playing. He adds so much to these songs, especially in Taifun. There is so much happening in this record. Amazing. Really far out. Only highlights. What a fantastic record.
Very happy with RW3 too. Not new since i already own the Haircuts DVD but nice to have this on vinyl. Since i was at the concert and have real fond memories of this magical night this release feels as a present. Absolute highlight is off course Hogwash, although there is lot's of magic happening on this one. Stained Glass, STG, wow. I also really like the version of Little Ricky Massenburg. The moment Geb left his drumset to sit uo front. I remember him saying sorry for his dirty feet. They had been playing soccer in the Vondelpark in the afternoon. Relaxed vibe on that show which you can really hear and see.
Since my turntable has some issues (again) i am very pleased that the download i available in several formats, including flac.
From the Stickman site:
Those of you who will be getting Motorpsycho’s Roadwork 5 triple LP later this week will find a “special feature†on your LP that is not evident at first glance, and which was very much unplanned.
The band had a special request, which was to press the sides as follows on the three vinyl discs:
Disc 1: Sides 1 and 6
Disc 2: Sides 2 and 3
Disc 3: Sides 4 and 5
A little bit of time travel, so to speak.
The pressing plant followed these instructions to the letter…. until it came to the labels. They are glued onto the discs in the normal order of 1-6.
We will do our best to have them “get†this with the second pressing, which is in fact being ordered today. And for the rest of you: enjoy your misprints, which will be sought-after rarities soon.
Strange. Reminds me of the original Woodstok 3lp which has 1/6, 3/4, 2/5.
@Mefisto: only the Rune edition includes cds unfortunately.
Btw, could Taifun be from the Zwolle show? I was there and remember it being about this long and including a flugel solo.
I don't understand your point Halitosis. I does include everyting: The exact same vinyl version plus download in so far unknown quality. The cd version didn't include Feel, so why include it for the download? To listen to Feel you have to play the vinyl, just like before.
Kristoffer Lo said on Instagram that he will be doing a couple of shows with MP this summer, as in more than one. Does this mean he will also be joining the band on Welcome To The Village? I really hope so.
Ordered 3 & 5. Sllightly dissapointed that the Stickman version doesn't include the cds but excited nevertheless.
Excellent selection! Really glad with Lacuna/Sunrise which is more or less my favorite MP song from recent years. Really curious about this version.
Also Taifun, which was fantastic in Zwolle. I remember that Kristoffer Lo really added al lot on this one.
I hope the Stickman version comes with the cds too btw.
About the RW1 reissue: i noticed that the tracklist mentioned on the Rune site doesn't mention Feel. Mistake?
Great cover. I am really glad they brought back the format of Roadwork 1 & 2. Still wondering why they didn't do that with RW4. Man i am so looking forward to these releases.
@Jero yes think i remember you! I did think of moving too but somehow didn't.
I must say i was not too happy with the lightning. Also visuals would have been great, like on Roadburn.
Amazing gig! There where more than 150 people, more like 400 i think. The band was in an excellent mood, the singing was spot on and the setlist was very good too.
I agree with Jero about On A Plate. Very good rendition. Other highlights for me where Heartattack Mac (excellent vocals by Snah!), Malibu (the jam was so amazing!), The Tower & Taifun. Loved the mellotron in that one.
I was not to happy about the sound. I was in the center a few meters from the stage. Bent was so loud it overpowered everything at times, especially in the beginning of the set.
The indeed played Eagles Son, as written on the setlist. Loved it! I also think Snah played the riff from Hell during Ship Of Fools.
I went with a collegue of mine who didn't really know the band. She absolutely loved it!
