took the liberty of transcribing the string quartet intro, here's a pdf if someone is interested www.dropbox.com/s/pgev8rrq0cso85q/MPsycho-Into%20the%20Gyre--strykearr.pdf?dl=0
Oh yeah it's a fantastic LP, a strong contender for album of the year for sure, and definitely Motorpsycho's best release to date! (in previous comment I misread what paulindigo said and thought he said it was their first album X_X)
Well... i have a copy of it on cd, and the audio quality is very good, but yes! The arrengments can be very dense sometimes... well i guess that is one of the trademarks of Trondheim Jazzorchestra! :) I LOVE the album!
