Where's the media in all this? Haven't found a single review yet (checked aftenposten, dagbladet, vg and nrk).
I saw a NRK production-truck outside, I'm guessing Lydverket will broadcast.
Music: Good, not spectacular
Laser/lights: I'll get back to that when I'm out of my epelectic seizure…

IMO, one of Motorpsychos finest moments. Absolutely fantastic. Brilliant sound, beautiful themes and an amazing sonic landscape. The lights were OK, but not spectacular. I really hope this is something they will do again. Imagine this gig in some of the fantastic cathedrals in e.g. Italy and Germany!
Wasn't the first song after the opening "Child of the Future"? The lyrics were familiar, but I could be wrong…

jacob, Thanks for the brilliant video. Now waiting for the full show
And here's the first review, from VÃ¥rt land not one of my usual newspapers – but very positive indeed.
I thought I read that Bent wrote the lyrics for the new pieces in his cabin some time ago. I'm also sure that I heard the words "bible black" in the first song, and those don't exit in the CotF lyrics (but can be found in an other monumental song
).
Incredibly booring impro start.. gave me absolutley NOTHING and reminded me about the dreadfull combo with Supersilent at Blå some years ago.. :evil:
But the new sogs were nice and Bent sang like an angel.. :mrgreen:
Wow, ten hours drive for 80 min concert. That was quite a stretch. Well I did it before, when Motorpsycho played Hoyvikodden, at Molde Jazz Festival, with Supersilent or this years Kongsberg gig. Everytime I drove home with a big smile on my face, not so yesterday.
Don`t get me wrong the atmosphere in the church was incredible and the sound superb.
The concert started off with Ståle playing the little organ in the corner of the right wing. That was pretty droning and I liked that part a lot since it builded up to such a wall of sound during it's ten minutes which than was taken by the band, placed on the churchs balcony.
In the beginning Snah played a beautiful crimson-like tone, not sure if it actualy was an e-bow. From now on Ståle played the big organ. The amplifyed organ sound was at times confusing since the organ itself was a hell of a machine.
Which brings it to the point. Hellmachine, should have been the name of the band that night or better Höllenmaschine. There is a lot of Italian 70's B-horror-movies which have the same kind of soundtrack. Heavy organ, italien prog-rock songwriting style, lots of drones.
The drum solo did not work for me. The cymbels created an incredible echo.
The two absolute highlights were the songs sung by Bent. Not sure if an angel like voice, but very heartful and clear.
Overall quite an experience. I am pretty sure that the whole thing will sound great on record.
Well, now the smile appears anyway. Maybe I was just exhhausted.
Is there a record of this one? Hope that the norwegian radio sends a stream.
Greetings from Stockholm
