I've only listened to it once so far, but I actually think it's my favourite, at least it's the first of their albums I liked on first listen. It's more laid back, and less in-your-face, than Elephant9 and Fiske's first collaboration, Atlantis, with some really nice almost psychedelic passages, so it's a bit different from the rest of their output, but it still got the typical Elephant9 sound with Storløkken's keys taking up much space, and with as ferocious drumming as ever. Still early days, but I can see this ending high up on my list of albums of the year. So, yeah, run out and get it first thing tomorrow morning, David, you don't need to eat anything but knækbrød for the next month. Wink

This is manna from the heavens as far as I'm concerned Clap

It's the thing I was hoping for when they did Atlantis with Reine, and sure we got a few laid back chill out guitar sprinklings here and there, but it was still largely the heavy in-your-face elephant9 style that ruled the coop.

I think it's the only way forth for the band - trying to work with the slow and more intimate sections within their music - figure out how far they can stretch the rubber band and still have it merge successfully with their 'sound'.

and no buddy, I definitely need more than knækbrød to keep the bamse engine running LOL

^Nice haul!

Any man that listens to Wire and Conrad Schnitzler obviously s'got taste.

I think I've been a fan for almost 20 years by now - always cool to see a fellow Wire enthusiast. I trust you got 154 and Missing Chairs?

Oh and regarding that Jimi Hendrix boxset - is it this one?

...if so then you're really in for a treat Thumbs Up

Some of his best guitar playing resides on those discs and nowhere else.

Sorry but that has got to be a first. Never met anyone who didn't discover Wire through those two albums. Well you've got something to look forward to then.

Thanks for the scoop on that Orr collab btw.

True, like on "A Foot in Both". They've taken more of this onto their new one in a very convincing way, IMO.

And how they succeed with that!
