Nice info. I’m really excited about the track The Waiting Game which is more acoustic and recorded at home. If by that, they mean recorded in Bent’s livingroom, I’m more than happy (I’m a sucker for those acoustic Bent home demos ala 7th Dream, Wishing Well etc.)

Anyway, lotsa Sabbath references in the titles (Ozzylot and Cornucopia which is a song from the Vol.4 album). And isn’t Whole Lotta Diana both a Zeppelin and an AC/DC reference?

[otherdemon]

Tracklist slightly changed now:

01The Ozzylot (Hidden In A Girl)

02Riding The Tiger

03Whole Lotta Diana

04Cornucopia (…Or Satan, Uh… Something)

05Mr. Victim

06The Waiting Game

07Child Of The Future

I saw Dungen live at Rockefeller earlier this year when they warmed up for Soundtrack Of Our Lives.

They bored me so fucking much! I have heard a couple of their records, and they were far better on record. Live they were not good at all.

Drammen yesterday? That was last month :wink:

The next concert is in Tønsberg July 16th.

Two reviews from groove.no and Nordlys. Turns out that Kenneth Kapstad played while being food-poisoned (!). He was later admitted to a hospital (making his side-project Monolithic cancel their Oslo Live performance Friday July 3rd, which I wanted to see)

Hard question. The Golden Core really is the one. But it could easily be

Taifun or Giftland as well (personal favs)

[otherdemon]

I have to agree with the thoughts on BH/BC: I think disc 1 is far better than disc 2.

On my 1 disc edition on page 1 of this thread, I only included 3 songs from disc 2. And 6 from disc 1 + Bonny Lee :lol:

That says a lot really.

[otherdemon]

Actually all of the Serpentine B-sides could’ve been on IALC (and raised the quality of it significantly)

Throw out Neverland, What If… and Composhite Head, and throw in Little Ricky Massenburg, SNAFU and Fade To Gray. And already you have a far better album

[otherdemon]

The best song he ever wrote for MP was the Serpentine single B-side, Little Ricky Massenburg. I also like KR3 and When You’re Dead.

[otherdemon]

Worst album is by far 8 Soothing Songs For Rut. Only three good songs (Have Fun, Loaded and Step Inside) and the rest are among MP’s all-time worst songs (esspecially The Wait, what an unfocused and uninvolving track)

Love Cult is also weak, but two or three redeeming tracks. Did I diss The Wait? Composite Head gives it hard competition in being worst MP track ever.

BH/BC: I used to think that this was yet another masterpiece right up there with the others. But in hindsight I might’ve been colored by the fact that I was euphoric about them being back. I think if they would’ve made a single album with the very best tracks, it would have been a wiser decision. A bit too many “autopilot” songs.

Here’s my BH/BC single CD edition:

1. No Evil

2. The Ace

3. Kill Devil Hills

4. Critical Mass

5. Before The Flood

6. 29th Bulletin

7. Sail On

8. Devil Dog

9. Bonny Lee

10. Triggerman

There are some hidden buttons on the menues. If you use the arrow-buttons on your DVD-remote control, some crown shaped buttons will appear here and there (most of them are on the Amsterdam song overview menu, I think)

Or you could push the display button and change titles. There are 15 titles in total, and if I remember correctly, the hidden features are 6-14 or something like that.

[otherdemon]

Little Lucid Me: You said that the alternate take of This Is Motorpsycho was all about Fagers getting a lollipop from his girlfriend? (otherwise it was a total waste)

But you totally left out the incomplete but amazing live version of Kill Some Day (that for some fucked up reason was excluded from This is Motorpsycho)

And not to forget that the hidden acoustic version of Sister Confusion is 1,653,967 times better than the shitty original on 8 Soothing Songs For Rut.

On-topic: I’ll download Child Of The Future when some kind soul leaks it. If my conscience feels guilty, I’ll buy some extra merch at the next MP-gig :lol:

Cool set. Jamming/experimental first half, poppy second half and a long encore.

Was this one of the new songs played? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyMN-x2oq-M

[otherdemon]

Cool find. Both Riding The Tiger and Satan…Something was played live during the few shows they did this spring.

[otherdemon]

I remember Bent saying that if their songs became dangerously similar to some classic songs, it was easier to just point that out quite clearly.

And yeah, the bass and drums patterns of Superstooge is similar to Fun House.
