Quote:hmm.. they are sticking to a LLM-based set yet again.. although I like LLC, it sometimes makes for a pretty one-sided set..
You Loose is also becoming the new You Lied IMO, I’m growing tired of seeing it in every setlist the last couple of years..
Although i like LLM & You Lose very much, i agree with your point. Their sets aren’t that adventureous these days. But hey, if the shows are good, the shows are good. This just isn’t the type of show one should witness if you have already seen them 20 times. I guess.
O, and i don’t mean this in a negative way at all. Just not too bummed out anymore that i am not able to go to these festival shows.
Quote:I would never want them to cut down their albums. Doubles and triples yes please. I can feed on them for years. Get to love songs I never thought I would at first. Just like Beyond the Flood recently. Some less flashy ones like Sancho Says or Sungravy grew on me over time. It’s a patience and devotion thing. Screw the use-once-and-erase ipod generation!Well spoken. I love to really dive into the music, make time and listen to an album from start to finish. I love double albums, and i wouldn’t want any double album cut to a single album. Take Trust Us. A great body of work, a statement of art. I wouldn’t want to miss any of the songs, although some may not be a strong as the others.
from rune:
Motorpsycho vinyl only release
“Child Of The Future” has been delayed due to the special sleeve requirements. New release that is 7. August and we promise you it will be well worth the wait. We didn´t want anything less than extraordinary for this excellent album. More soon…
Although i am kinda bummed by the delay, this sounds very promising. Special sleeve requirements…….what will that be like?
Konkurrent, the Dutch distributor still has CotF listed for july the sixth (www.konkurrent.nl , scroll waaaay down)
I’ll wait for news from Stickman or Rune. The delay is a bummer.
Well, in the mail response i got a few weeks ago Jeanette said the will put any news about the new release on the Stickman site. So, we have to wait for some news from Stickman/Rune. But damn, i can hardly wait any longer.
This is a good topic, motivates me to grab some of the old records and play them. I just finished listening to It’s A Love Cult & the Serpentine EP, and i must say i loved it. Strange, when it came out i loved it a lot, then the records afterwards came and i didn’t play this one a lot, and now i sorta re-discovered it.
And yeah, BH/BC rocks. Fantastic record, i think that one will be the play of tomorrow.
Fantastic news. I hope they play some shows in the Netherlands again, preferably Groningen. I checked the sites of some venues they did shows before, but nothin yet…let’s wait. Good thing they don’t go for a festival tour, i prefer to see them at a club show. Always hungry for more Motorpsycho.
little edit: i hadn’t checked the link yet, but it is kinda funny that the site itself says 20th aniversary tour. What should we expect of that? Something special? Or is it something like ‘An Evening With Lou Reed’ which was just a two hour show (a great one but ok)
It’s all a matter of taste off course. I’ve just finished listening to Blissard and i am stunned, i’v listened it a zillion times and it still grabs my full attention.
Hmm, difficult one. I don’t really think MP has overrated albums. They have got weaker albums, but everybody seems to agree on which are the weaker ones (Lobotimizer, Love Cult, Barracuda), although i must say i like both Barracuda and It’s A Love Cult, with brilliant moments. But, not their best in my opinion. I think the main problem with It’s A Love Cult is that it doesn’t sound like an album, more like a collection of songs. No good flow.
I totally disagree with you on BH/BC. Better than Trust Us? Or Angels and Demons at Play? I don’t know, but it is one hell of an album. Very good, i love it. Songs like Kill Devil Hills, The Ace, Hyena, Triggerman, wow. I don’t agree on the drumming too. It is a litle weird now and then, but it fits perfectly and i think Bent did an excellent job.
well, just face it. There is going to be a vinyl only release and that seems to be it wether one likes it or not. I happen to like it, and am looking forward to the release very much. But i have no problem with the discussion, it’s very amusing. :MPD:
GBD, i totally agree with you. Nothing really more to add. I am really really really looking forward to Child of the Future, and can’t wait to see the so ‘spectacular artwork’. I am very curious about the sound too, love quite some Albini recordings. I don’t really know what to expect.
Basically i am a Motorpsycho freak, a Shellac and Albini fan, and a vinyl lover. So this must be great. I trust ’em.
And it gets more and more amusing. Stalemate, you sound like some lp once stole your girlfriend (or boyfriend, dunno if yr a boy or a girl).
Every now and then when i read this discussion, i look to my left and see my lp collection and it makes me smile every time. I do feel kinda sorry for the people who don’t own a record player and want CotF on cd, really. I understand it’s disapointing for some of you. But don’t have a heartattack over this.
Quote:All the previous releases has been available in vinylnot true, Another Ugly Ep and the Mountain Ep are cd only. I know the boys had a different record label then, but ok. O, and the Bonny Lee/Hyena cd? Would have been nice if they had included a 7″ of it with BH/BC. But you didn’t hear me complain about that (ok, perhaps i did, i don’t remember….)
This is becoming a very interesting discussion. It kind of surprises me that there seem to be quite some peeps here who are upset, angry, disappointed and/or simply pissed. Is it that big of a deal? I am fortunate in this matter. I own a pretty decent record player and play and buy almost only vinyl and have done so for many years.
This feels to me like a little present for keeping on buying vinyl and loving it, even in times where most of the people said vinyl is dead. Well it isn’t. More and more people are buying vinyl, hence even the Media Markt (yeah i’m dutch) sells vinyl these days. So, on a personal level, this is just fine with me. They seem to make somethinh special out of it, considering the “spectacular artwork” and all.
I don’t know why MP put this one out only on vinyl, and i am not that good on speculating. My guess is that it has something to do with it being special, with special artwork, and Steve Albini recording. Albini records only analog, so it might has someting to do with that, true analog. I don’t know. Or they just don’t want people to listen in their car to the new record. I love the experience of putting a new vinyl record on my turntable, hedphones on, eyes closed and just sail on. If that is what MP intended with this one, than i am up for it.
(wow, this turned out as quite a long post, and i haven’t even made a real point here…)
@ stalemate: why not just buy the record, have a listening premiere with your brother (always good for family bonding), rip the record for yourself at your brothers house, and give the vinyl cover a nice place so you can look at it and wish you owned a turntable yourself?
oww, and then there is this phrase from the press release:
So if you are in the unlikely position of not owning a record player, this is the time to do something about it.
Sounds to me like they (MP, Stickman and/or Rune) thinks everybody should just go and get a record player,
