Tracklist:

let me tell ya ’bout Mother Superior’s swansong “”Mothership Movement”” The band, high on the Swedish grammy-effect of their debut, eloped back to Gothenburg to record one of Sweden’s most forgot about Rockalbums. Actually, the band was disintegrating even from the beginning of the sessions, and the whole CD reeks of “”you’ll never take alive”” attitude. They kick it off with “”Wreck My Mind””, a harp-wailer with no style. I mean the singer hysterically pleads you to take his life, while the guitars do their best to do so. Then after the mayhem they slow it down with something for the ladies… – “”El Salvatore””. A slick ballad. That again says “”I’m A Nothin'”” After that MS can’t hold their fingers off the trigger and shoots off three chaotic killers ’till they again come to a complete halt with “”Save My Soul””. And that’s probably the core of the album. S.O.S. They go from one extreme to another. That’s their damnation. They wont compromise, I’ll give them that. “”The Mothership Movement”” is, when you read between the lines, an intellectual album, full of contradictions, much confusion and no bars hold. It’s hard to genre though it neatly fits down the retro-rock pile. But they’re not like the other motley crew of northern rock hoodlums like turboneger, hellacopters or so. They’ve got quite an own approch to Rock and how to treat it, and with “”The Mothership Movement”” they almost rode that wild rock beast. But with their wild antics, their inner quarrels (none of them spoke with each other during the recordings) their desperate demand for the most  rock riff took them too far from their original past. If you ever saw them live, you know what I’m talkin’ about. They WERE true danger, both for their audience, the established rockers-de-lux and, most of all, themselves. With no sales the band understood they we’re MIS understood and sadly passed away, sinking down in the quicksand of new, hot acts. They released a strange garagesingle on Bad Afro before they recorded their last song-“”Stand Up And Be Counted””. But if You want a harsh, fast, dark and confused Rock Y Rolero Alb, this is your potion. And it’s everlasting too… Trust me, in the year of 2525 this band will frequent all those dodgy compilations with god-like status. They’re just a little hard to swallow right now. If YOU are 5 years ahead of your time, you buy this now. “
