Box set came the other day....need to find some time to dig through it
The album proper, while spread out over three discs, is only sixty-ish minutes.
It's a very good album--I'll rank it slightly higher than Blissard, maybe a notch below Trust Us.
So I've dug into the album pretty well.
The live discs are taking some time to get into. It's very atmospheric, so it doesn't really play well in the car (where I listen to a lot of albums). I've got a feeling they'll be the real sell on this once I digest them properly.

I thought the 3-EP version was about 15 minutes longer - "Have Spacesuit, Will Travel" wasn't on the original
Would love to grab the rarities and live discs separately, though the price of this thing (25 euro) is very reasonable

2016 is soon nothing but a passing memory and we’re all looking forward
to be heading into a new year with the new posibilities and new challenges
it may bring.
We want to thank you all for caring and sharing this last year’s events with us –
both nice and less so – and we look forward to sharing our exploits in the new
year with you. Losing a band member is always a tough experience and a
challenge on many levels, but we are all ultimately happy this panned out the
way it has: Motorpsycho is bigger than any of us, and all our little human
grievances all become insignificant in the greater picture: the Mothership abides.
But it’s not all been uphill lately: one very nice peace of news we can
share with you right now, is that Motorpsycho has a new drummer!
His name is Tomas Järmyr, and he will join us on a permanent basis from
now on.
Tomas is originally from Sweden, he’s somewhere around 30 years old, and
has lived in Trondheim for quite a few years by now. He’s a student at the
music conservatory at NTNU – like Kenneth, Ståle, Ola, Ketil Møster and just
about every decent musician we’ve worked with over the last decade before
him – and lives in town, something that makes playing a lot together easy!
He plays in quite a few other constellations too, such as Zu, Yodok, YODOK lll,
Sunswitch and with Aidan Baker, but we aim to keep him really busy with
Psychowork from now on! We are already working on new music, and are
inches away from getting something really exciting together for the next album.
If it all works out the way we hope, it will be out this fall. We have high hopes
for it, but we can’t really share any further details with you just yet.
We’ll let you know all the details as soon as we can, don’t worry!
Let’s hope 2017 will be a brighter and more positive year than 2016 turned
out to be. To us it represents a new beginning and a new hope, and it feels
really fresh and exciting to start yet another chapter in the Psycho Psaga
(sigh…I know!) with Tomas onboard. We can’t wait to get started!
Ever onwards & upwards!

Folk Flest is excellent. Like Magma distilled through Norwegian Psychonaut-ness.

Oh my god! Is Kenneth Kapstad really out of the band? That guys is one of my favorite 21st century drummers.
Hope the replacement is as good or better than him.
Yeah, he left last year. If you haven't, be sure to check out Spidergawd. Bent was the band's bass player on their first three albums but left the band about the same time Kapstad quit Motorpsycho.

They composed and played music for the theatre play Begynnelser. It will be released at the beginning of june on double 10" + cd + dvd. You can preorder it at: https://www.stickman-records.com/mot...resale-begins/
Hmmmm. I guess I need it, right?
Edit: shit! That's what I get for going to work today. Out of stock already!

Hooray! Thanks for the heads up.

I really really really liked their death defying unicorn double. Amazing achievement on so many levels. I still regulary spin it a lot, which says much. I am pretty excited to see them live in Italy at Veruno Prog fest in a month.
