Excellent! So there are the over four vinyl sides.

Expecting some 'cuda-like mini-album.

[Krist Rampage]

I'm not expecting that at all. Could be a suite devided into four vinyl sides, or a few acoustic ditties or even some CSNY covers, who knows? But that's a big part of the fun imo. On releaseday news about another release to get curious an excited about.

I really like Barracuda btw. I still High Times deserves a place on Supersonic Scientists.

I bought it tonight at the gig in Trondheim. There were no restrictions on how many you could buy, so they've probably made a lot. I saw a guy buy 4 of each version.

The cover art and packaging is very very beautiful and printed on thick cardboard.

Tracklist:

A. Quick Fix (Sæther)

B. Granny Takes A Trip (Sæther)

C. Alain/The Messenger (Sæther/Ryan/Järmyr/Johannes)

D. California (I'Am So Sold) (Sæther)

[yes, it really says "I'AM", probably a misprint?!]

I haven't listened to it yet, so I can't say anything about the songs.

Thanks for the info, Rolf!

How much did the EP cost? 100-150 NOK or something like that?

[kjellepelle]

How long is the california ep..?

And how much euros are it..? lol

[otherdemon]

150 NOK = approx 16 euros

I'm guessing it's somewhere around 15-20 mins long, it being two 7"s.

[marc]

Nice to see the tribal on it, which appears to be absent on the tower-artwork along with the mp font for whatever reason.

[Bartok]

And how are the songs?

These guys profiting from reselling online is a disgrace. Ugly.

[mefisto]

There will always be sharks reselling records….however the stupid one is the buyer in this case….

First impressions:

Quick Fix: ca 3'25. Nice enough up-tempo straight rocker. Short but sweet guitar solo.

Granny Takes A Trip: ca 4'05. Heavy bluesy thing straight out of the Manuscripts. Takes a few quiet breakes here and there. Again a nice solo from Snah, this one is longer.

Alain/The Messenger: ca 3:30 Accoustic, psychedelic guitar noodling. On the old 10" eps this would be the Gebhardt track. Kind of pointless, but charming.

California: 3'55. Lovely light accoustic west coast pop.
