And again!

1996 - Sinful / Wind Borne
The 3rd single from what they back then called their 'pop' album, and it is a catchy tune for sure. Backed with a Lynyryd Skynyrd cover: Workin' for MCA.

2016 - Spin Spin Spin
A laid back dreamy tune (an edit), seems to be a cover but I don't know the original, backed with Go Around Once and acoustic balled.
The interesting part of this is that the album the single was taken from, is an progressive very long winded tune album: Here be Monsters. it was followed by Here be Monsters II, a tour only release for which I just noticed copies start around 100 EUR.. :o

It was written by an American folk singer Terry Callier


Motorpsycho's version is closer to the cover by HP Lovecraft

1 loose song and 1 EP:

1996 - Mad Sun, a track from the Blissard period. A very echo-ey effort much in line with their alternative rock period.

1999 - The Other Fool EP. Now we're talking! One of my very favourite MP tracks (albeit in edited form here). Such a great tune, the opener for Let Them Eat Cake, this has it all: great song writing, playing, lyrics, a bass that souds like ahuge cat is purring under your seat, acoustic guitars, strings, a horns section. Fantastic!
(Yes I am aware this ios not the clip, but ths is the full version, which does it justice!)

4 other tracks on here:
The Sailboat Song a dreamy acoustic ditty hat feels like you are adrift on a huge lake. Johnny Finds a Leak a lo-fi effort as is Jumpin' Flashback modelled after, well you know who ;)
We end proceedings with Funk '99 which is very ehm, funky ;D
