    In this video I react to Motorpsycho for the very first time. The song is Gullible's Travails.
    A LITTLE ABOUT ME: I'm Dean Wolfe, a mostly self-taught guitarist/composer/multi-instrumentalist/singer/producer/performer. I started out as a full time musician on the road at age 17 for two years, but went part-time ever since while holding day careers including as a chef and in spiritual health care while raising a family.
    I've recorded hundreds of my own songs- many being used in media and award winning documentaries etc. I've been in several bands including a prog/jazz fusion act nFuze, performing in International Jazz festivals and jazz clubs. I abandoned the prog genre more or less back in the 1990s but have returned to it now with vigour a full 30 years later- so much prog I've ignored and quite frankly didn't have any idea about. My own prog band was rejected by record labels as "too progressive' in the late 80s, so i detoured into grunge, pop and alternative instead (then folk and acoustic fingerstyle guitar and ambient electric as well).

    Wow, what a great surprise to see this one pop up! Motorpsycho are one of my all time favorite bands and somewhat of a national treasure here in Norway. Always doing their own thing and always delivering quality. Their newer stuff is great but their stuff from the 90's is legendary. Recommendations: The Golden Core, Un Chien D'Espace and S.T.G.

    Great to see Motorpsycho getting some love, I think they're underappreciated outside of Norway. I got into them through Jaga Jazzist years ago (who seem to have more of a following in the UK) but I've yet to bump into another Motorpsycho fan.
    Thanks Dean, enjoyed this one 👌

    This is my favorite band! They from Norway and have an impressive discography, with almost an album a year or sometimes some projects for special occasions. They can varied their style from psychodelic, to jazz, to grunge-ish, to sludge, even some pop or country, and of course, progressive rock.

    Their album The All Is One is about the best rock album of the 21st century. The 5 piece suite N.O.X. is a fantastic mixture of King Crimson, Steve Reich and Hawkwind. You've got to check it out!

    Motorpsycho are almost unknown in Uk but I discovered them about 5 years ago and their music is so varied it’s incredibly hard to define them. Probably the last 15 years has been stoner rock mixed with folk rock but they have covered prog, pop, psychedelic, country,grunge and metal. Live they are very heavy and jam for hours like grateful Dead meets hawkwind. I love bits of all these eras and they are worth exploring and all their side projects or which there are many. Hard to like everything but they are so prolific almost a new album every year since early 90s incredible rabbit hole, have fun

    I have been working my way backwards through the Motorpsycho back catalogue and it is astonishing. Their more recent albums are excellent and could be as strong as anything they have ever done. I was familiar with the Jaga Jazzist collaboration from some years ago but only recently dived in deep. This is superb. My first time hearing.

  • @murdockreviews
    @murdockreviews Před 3 lety +8

    Fantastic :-) Thanks to this patreon!! I keep suggesting Motorpsycho to prog and hard-rock fans alike. Their catalogue is massive and varied, going through a lot of styles (alt-rock, psychedelic indie, stoner metal, neo-prog), but in the last 15 years, they've created their own brand of (often heavier) space/prog-rock. Always showing their retro influences, but never simply being copy-cats.
    To me, they are one of the best bands of this kind around today!
    Other Motorpsycho suggestions: "The Alchemyst"; "The Promise"; "Cloudwalker", "The Tower"... just to get started and leaving out some 20+ minutes epics ;-)

      @@deanwolfechannel you're welcome. Feel free to dip in one or the other track. All the ones mentioned above are already in the prog style they have refined over the years. But if you enjoy that, take also a look maybe at Motorpsycho before 2010 (stylistically quite different). They've been around since '89/'90.
      Apart from the general stylistic changes, they also have some gorgeous tender acoustic moments in their discography...

      Motorpsycho is one of Norway most productive bands. Their catalogue is huge, with a new release almost every single year since 1990. I’ve seen them live many times, and they are truly a world class liveband. The concerts are long, and you never know what to expect. They can end up jamming away for 45 minutes before finishing the song they started. These guys are masters at their craft. So many great albums, so there is a huge rabbithole to dive into. The Tower would be an excellent full album react😉🙏🏻

    • @Vlad2.47
      @Vlad2.47 Před 3 lety +2

      Yes they’re a class act live. Saw them at Rockefeller in Oslo at the start of the millennium and they kept it going for more than 2.5 hours, which I had never experienced at any other concert before. Really loved how they played Watersound with that epic swap from acoustic to electric guitar

    • @MacSvensson
      @MacSvensson Před 2 lety

      Motorpsycho is one of those bands you HAVE to see live. Sure, albums like "Panerothyme" or "Let them Eat Cake" can be digested at home and truly loved, but they're mainly a live band. Their energy on stage is like nothing else.
      Cheers

    Even as a dyed-in-the-wool prog fan I still love Motorpsycho. That particular Pandora's box was opened for me by their epic album 'The Death Defying Unicorn' and I have been entranced ever since. Definitely looking forward to their new album (out at the beginning of April)

    One of my favourites. Great, great band, almost an album a year, sometimes more. Actually, the new album would be a great starter, only around 28 to go 🙆‍♂️👏👍
    They have done so much, not one bad album. Love Death Unicorn and Heavy Metal Fruit, the recent trilogy is brilliant, then there is the early brilliance of Timothy's Monster and Demon Box, not forgetting the run of grunge come indy come pop early 2000s albums. Nobody else sounds like Motorpsycho, love the guitars and mellotron.
    Only Pain of Salvation can match these guys, completely different style though.
    Had to laugh, sorry. New progressive bands, lol. They have been around thirty years.

      Motorpsycho were my last rock concert before the pandemia brought things to a hold. The gig was pretty heavy, with an emphasis on their stoner/drone-metal material, yet in one of their proggier jams, they suddenly broke into a full rendition of Wishbone Ash's "The Pilgrim". It was awesome 👍
