"Mike Tyson is from there..." haha I love these guys. If not just for the fucking harpsichord! Using a harpsichord these days and making it sound this good? Nobody does that. They break music down to some crazy essence when they play and record. I would love to jam with them. Incredible people

In the spring of '09 I walked around the Brooklyn Botanic Garden during the height of the Cherry Blossom season listening to LP3. I had no idea they'd been there, nor that they even lived in Brooklyn. I was just at the Museum on a University tour and afterwards I decided it was a beautiful day for a sleep deprived stroll 'round the Garden. It just occurred to me that LP3 would be an appropriate soundtrack. Maybe they captured something about the neighborhood in season.

@SteegX it is from austria not germany

[anonymous0s0egion]

Luckily for me I know german. Easy language to learn if you're an american.

[SteegX]

It would be greatly appreciated if our brothers in Germany could get a quick English translation made up for us. Great thanks from Canada!

1:25 translation:

The Iranian drummer ,,chemirani'' inspired Evan and Mike to new rythms and the new album is influenced by traditional music from south america as well as africa. The mix is exotic: they used synthesizer, zither (instrument) and electric guitar, all in one song. Plus, they got a drum computer which Evan specially ordered from India.
