@mybestfriend83: Like I told @ThorEgil, I always ask the band before I share material. I'm patiently awaiting a reply on that one. As for the En Konsert For Folk Flest, that release is readily available in shops. I'm sympathetic towards because that you cannot buy anymore.
@ThorEgil: No, I don't necessarily think its fair and in past cases like these I have sought permission from the band to do so before proceeding. I find it odd and perplexing that bands claim to be distraught by the notion that their out-of-print records are on sale for ludicrous amounts online but do nothing to rectify that situation (e.g., reissue). In this regard, I do recognize the challenges posed by finances, legal rights etc.I'm very excited that Motorpsycho along with Stickman and R. Grammofon (!?) are reissuing their previous releases. Thumbs up! I was however utterly annoyed by how they went about the whole 9th fragment thingy. As for the Motorpnaktoic Manuscripts, I'm totally on board with the one off chance to be a part of the production of physical product itself but find it puzzling that the music itself is not made available to fans as a digital download. My thoughts on this matter rests on the premise that bands make music for their fans. If they didn't, recording songs and releasing them to the public would not make any sense. Based on this premise, the whole Fragments business seems a bit paradoxical.
Arturo Bandini, you're right, both releases have CD's included. However, while En Konsert For Folk Flest is still available, the Motorpnaktoic Manuscripts is not. Personally, I'm a big fan of crowfunded projects like "Fragments" but if you didn't get on that boat then that ship has sailed. I think it's a shame they haven't made the music available as a digital download, either for free or to be fair; an X amount. As artists, you would think it was all about spreading the music to masses and be heard.
