The books have arrived at Falck Forlag and are now shipped out (pic stolen from Christer Falck :oops:)
So, the Norwegian newspaper VG seems quite impressed with the exhibition:

At the opening there was a speech, then the editor of the book did a chat with Bent and Snah, which was very funny and interesting. They talked about stuff like being in their own little world and doing what they did for a long while (until they met Kenneth). Recording parts of Trust Us on a 6 day break between tours. Those little magic/lucid "zen" moments when form and content come together and a song is finalized. How Bent and Snah complete each other, in the sense that Snah might contribute the final 25% of a song that Bent knows he can't finish. And vice versa. Many jokes, the guys are hilarious!
Finally, Trondheim Bassorkester, which consisted of 8 double basses (!) and a vibraphone (I think), played
True Middle >
Vortex Surfer >
Plan #1
– which was pretty cool! Matt Burt himself (I'm 99,9% sure it was him) did the vocals (well, read/performed his poems) on True Middle and Plan #1, and some dude I don't know sang Vortex Surfer. I personally didn't like how he sang it. But overall it was quite interesting and good! Not mindblowing, to me, but something different. I tried to record the entire thing, but had messed up a setting on my recorder and ended up with nothing but silence
Those Matt Burt/Trondheim Bassorkester songs was awesome……How about a Acoustic Motorpsycho record including Trondheim Bassorkester? …That had been something…And maby hire in Guro Moe on the Octobass Monster… And How about some Moinica Heldal Vocals…
