The Motorpnakotic Manuscripts

[pfnuesel]

I'm homeless, too. Do I get a Sorgenfri copy for free?

[boomer former helm]

just received the first part of the manuscripts. really like the songs so far. especially the longer one which has that deep blues drive, do not know the title great artwork. i am satisfied and really look forward the 2nd part.

I created a wikipedia page for the …album? here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Motorpnakotic_Fragments – feel free to contribute. I took info found on motorpsycho.no news and from here – so it's a bit bare. But since I won't be getting this release (had no money to spare when the signup time window was open) I don't exactly have more access to info concerning liner notes etc.

I'm hoping for a regular CD (or whatever format) release eventually, since I personally don't care much for collectors items, I'm happy with just listening to music, but it's probably unlikely given Bent stated "no more, ever" (and "Child of the Future" hasn't been released on CD yet, either).

[boomer former helm]

after listening to the 4 songs a few times i just can say that every song stands out for itself and is very very good

[Blashyrkh]

@Boomer former helm, are the songs kinda like Behind the sun and Still live with Eggplant or are they more "pop-ish"?

FAQ

[otherdemon]

@Blashyrkh: Two of the songs, Forget It (awesome!) and Mockingbird (cool enough), are among the poppiest they've recorded with Kenneth. The two others are slightly longer; One Way Or Another is a soulful dynamic bluesrocker (my personal fave so far), while The Jig Is Up (Kiss The Snake) is a little bit heavy with some weird tempos and time signatures. It's also the only one I feel they can stretch out a bit live.

@JTR: Here are some credits which you can add to the Wiki page:

Mages:

Kenneth Kapstad / Time

Bent Sæther / Mass

Reine Fiske & Hans Magnus Ryan / Velocity

With

Øyvind Smidt / Fiddler

Thomas Henriksen / Fairydustsprinkler

And there's also secret messages in the end grooves. Seek, and ye shall find :twisted:

@ Blahyrkh: otherdemon pointed it out well. "mockingbird" is very nice (cute), i like the tricky groove that kenneth and bent lay under the very poppy guitars and vocals. "one way or another" reminds me a lot of crosby, stills, nash and young, especially the singing. that made it difficult for me in the beginning to get into the song, but after a few spins it grows a lot to me. "the jig is up/kiss the snake" is really cool with great singing a very cool rhythm structure with strange timing.

the sound is great in my opinion. very special and different from the mixes/master on behind the sun, or eggplant. not so clean, more… hmm i do not know how to say it, darker or dirtier maybe. very special to cut it short…
