Friends, I am glad we have something substantial to discuss again on this forum! Now if we could only have live concerts like we used to……………(craving, craving)
Good to read everybody back in town!
Always psyched by the announcement of a new MP album. All in to hear it spinning to great heights. m/ Hope to see live music come back to live again. Streaming doesn't come close.

Second that! Saving this year, will be quite a challenge, but of course it will help a lot.
As for the 2CD/2LP decision, i am really looking forward to the flow of the album. Having a suite/ epic tracks on an "extra" record, will probably make it easier for me to really appreciate the more challenging stuff and still have a concise more straight-forward "go to on a daily basis" album.
For those interested in getting a taste of the 'ballet', if you haven't seen them already, there's a few videos available on YouTube (one of them copied onto Motorpsychodelicclips) that were recorded at one of last summer's festival appearances at which the piece was played.
Do not watch these videos if you prefer not to hear possible material from the 'ballet' before getting the album.

All right, a couple of songs that come to mind just from the track list:
Terry Callier, who wrote "Spin, Spin, Spin" that MP covered via HP Lovecraft, also wrote one called "You Goin' Miss Your Candyman". The lyric "Like a circle around the sun" is repeated a lot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HY2VfzBWKXM
Also, Roy Harper, "The Same Old Rock" (1971):
Roy Harper, a name that's always floated around a nucleus of bands I love but I never really took the effort to listen to him. But this song is amazing. I just heard traces of Thick as a Brick and one particular vocal melody strongly resembles a song by danish band Kashmir. I guess he's had some impact on the best of them. So here's to some new homework.
Roy Harper also sang on Pink Floyd's Have A Sigar.
The Ascension is an album and song by Glenn Branca.
Ouroboros is also a Mars Volta song.
I wonder how the vinyl sides will be split. Like this?
