## Description

On this epic, double concept album, easily their most ambitious yet, Motorpsycho has assembled the cream of classical and jazz musicians from world class ensembles established in Trondheim, their hometown. The Death Defying Unicorn was first commisioned by Molde International Jazzfestival for their 50th anniversary in 2010 where it was performed on the main outdoor stage. This, however, has been partly re-arranged, refined and recorded from scratch at Propeller Studios in Oslo with Kre Chr. Vestrheim once again co-producing as he did with Heavy Metal Fruit . Stle Storlkken (Supersilent, Elephant9, Humcrush, Terje Rypdal) is considered one of Norways top keyboardists but here he comes into his full as a writer and not at least arranger of the two ensembles. His contributions to this album can not be stressed enough. Among the players in Trondheim Jazz Orchestra are wellknown names such as Kjetil Mster (Ultralyd), Andr Roligheten (Albatrosh) and Mathias Eick, not to forget star violinist Ola Kvernberg. Most bands will reach a creative peak at a certain point in their career after which they simply continue in a less interesting fashion before eventually calling it a day. Not so with Motorpsycho. After more than 20 years they continue to develop and to to challenge themselves artistically. Motorpsycho was founded in Trondheim by mainstays Bent Sther and Hans Magnus Ryan. Drummer Hkon Gebhard joined them after their first album and stayed until 2005. Kenneth Kapstad took over the stool for Litte Lucid Moments in 2008. Kim Hiorthy is as always responsible for the artwork, this time joined by artist Thore Hansen for the fantastic inside illustration. For best impact we recommend the vinyl edition.

    still the best Euro band
  

*by S***O on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 20, 2014*

Motorpsycho are incredibly enough not famous in the US.the 90s were their decade.albums like Timothy's monster,Blissardand Trust Us are modern psych rock classics.and nobody knows.this album,TDDU,is from 2012 and it's kind of an artistic comeback.they haven't sounded this inspired throughout the 2000s.I would get the three albums I mentioned before this one.start with Timothy's Monster.play it on repeat a couple of times.you'll get it.but whatever,you can't go wrong with Motorpsycho's 90s albums,you can not go wrongwith this one.for some,some of us are space brains,this album is a little miracle.if you like Sonic Youth,get this.peace.

    Easily best album of 2012, maybe of past 10 years
  

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 14, 2012*

This album is staggeringly huge, powerful, energetic, and brilliant. I am baffled by how Motorpsycho was able to pull this thing off so late in their career. If you like interesting music of any kind, you must check this album out. This album is a perfect storm of all things I enjoy: free jazz, metal, pink-floyd jams, modern classical, and some good old garage rock. It is really is an amazing piece of music.

For those of you out there that have liked "in a fishtank" combining Motorpsycho's guitars with Jaga Jazzist's brass, this will simply sound as a masterpiece. As for a lot of cross-over on the border of psychedelia, either love it or hate it.
