Not "Behind the Sun" but "full sunlight"

Well well, it's only my second Motorpsycho after "The Death Defying Unicorn". Which means nothing else than that I re entdekce the band again, because the two albums have absolutely nothing in common.

It's relatively civilized wrong with "Cloud Walker" a small, fine rock song without weaknesses, but also without proper strength. Then a ballad with "Ghost". Beautifully lined with Mellotron, but still not terrific. "On A Plate" brettert then from the first note going right. 70s rock, straight, no frills, full to the 7. And so it goes on. "The Promise" drifts into psychedelic Illustrative, but just to be just befallen with "Kvaestor", an instrumental piece wake up from the dream, slowly again to remember what about you. Fiske, the guest guitarist, his fingers playing sore, he locks the doors on to a never-ending trip.

Then "Hell Part 4-6". With over 12 minutes, the longest song. Finally calmer waters. Reminds s bit on the Pink Floyd phase of 1968-69, as PF "More" wrote film music. The Mellotron reinforces the impression of retro rock considerably. Saether here plays the guitar itself, Fiske only Mellotron. Towards the middle of the song the music flows, the Keys bubble calm then, Enstpannung is announced. Finally, then guitar, threatening sounds pull up again.

With "Entropy" it goes on in the mid-paced. Very good songwriting, still needs start-up time. With "The Magic & The Wonder" it then goes to the final. This is a typical Motorpsycho song. Dodgy, bombastig, noisily. Great guitar work of Fiske.

"Hell Part 7" heralds the album. A thunderstorm of sound on the guitar to the beginning, the vocals come to that and the whole thing looks absolutely megalomaniac. Very tiring to hear, but it's worth it.

Behind the Sun has become a good album that takes time to unfold. I experienced already with "Unicorn" and I know that it will not be sorry.
