I thought their Drone Activities project was good, so I'm very intrigued by this. Mars 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OU818 Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 seems like early/extended Flowers of Evil stuff? I’m in bjorn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjorn Posted May 27, 2021 Author Share Posted May 27, 2021 Fantastic. This is so much more interesting than a standard live set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morfiend Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 I wasn’t planning on ordering this since I rarely revisit the Ulver live albums I already own but that video was intriguing. Theme’s from William Blake... was also recently repressed for those that didn’t know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morfiend Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 This just came out today and I gave it a listen on Amazon Music. It's an interesting jam for sure but some of the tracks just dragged on too long to hold my attention. I do think this is better than Drone Activities though but similar vibes.

Prestonlanes Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Listening to this now and am actually really liking it. That said, I'm not a huge fan of most of new Ulver. I guess I like more of their droney experimental stuff and the first-3 albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjorn Posted August 21, 2021 Author Share Posted August 21, 2021 I've been listening to my copy for the past week. The pressing is impeccable so that definitely helps. I like all of it, but I'm not sure if it's that strong as an album (it's a bit like ATGCLVLSSCAP in that regard). They're an odd band because they make a lot of missteps, but I think they do everything with a degree of integrity, which makes it easier to accept the less-than-stellar output as a vital part of the experience.

Bergtatt is the only black metal release I revisit a lot. I love a lot of the stuff from William Blake - Shadows of the Sun, especially the releases that are vocal heavy. With Messe I lost a little interest but I’m a big fan of the new synth pop direction on Assassination and Flowers of Evil. Whatever Ulver does though is usually at the very least interesting.
