Quote:they assembled some 20 songs of what Bent Sæther calls â€Âother musicâ€Â, simply songs from the last three years that didn´t suit the Unicorn but refused to be ignored.
Sounds a bit like the new Barracuda. Doesn't it

http://www.flight13.com/details/103606/motorpsycho-still-life-with-eggplant interesting review:
saying something like: very hallucinogenic album, with 2 guitarists and psychedelic organ-parts. longer songs kind of prog- and spacerock with jazzy drumfills and basslines. very dynamic. short songs kind of folk, or grooverock with heavy guitars. "ratcatcher" 17min long, "hell" 10 min.
God damnit, now how long are they going to keep making these space/prog albums? Enough with the jazzy 28/93,4 drum patterns and whatnot. I was a huge fan of LLM and liked DDU, but it's getting a little old now. For the first time I feel Motorpsycho are stuck instead of renewing themselves. More Snah, less Kenneth.
Thanks for that link, marc. The same homepage also has the track lengths:
Hell (part 1-3) (9:47)
August (4:52)
Barleycorn (Let It Come/Let It Be) (7:18)
Ratcatcher (17:10)
The Afterglow (5:57)
Total: 46 mins
So with the exception of Ratcatcher, more normal track lengths this time.
I won't commment too much about the musical content based on snippets, but they've really built my hopes up! The only thing I'm not too happy about is SPOILER AHEAD
that Hell, part 1-3 seems to be a lot slower than the live versions they played.
Been wondering about that albumtitle..
Some art history while we wait for the album.
Of course, I will still buy the record, but for the first time I'm not really excited for a new album. Motorpsycho are, after all, the band that brought us Timothy's Monster and Blissard. I owe them a chance. "Normal" track lengths are a step in the right direction!
I know I'm waiting for something that won't happen if I'm waiting for another Blissard these days, but I want MP to do surprise me again. And in this case, they don't.
I understand well. I guess they just wanted to play free without expectations or boundaries after the Unicorn. And so they do what they do best: Jams, Melodies, Athmosphere… We will see.
Why is everyone judging before listening to the album? Sometimes it's sounds like some people are waiting for an album from a boy group. This is rock n roll. This is freedom. Not care about boundaries, stamps, drawers, genres. Just listen and love or hate. But listen first with a free mind. Peace.
Those Barleycorn and Afterglow snippets indeed sound like early pastoral Genesis. I'm even more thrilled now.
