Morgen (1969)





Morgen's well-loved 1969 psychedelic rock album. Singer/guitarist Steve Morgen and company originally hailed from Long Island, New York. Signed by ABC's short-lived Probe subsidiary, their 1969 debut Morgen teamed them with producer Murray Shiffrin. After this superb debut, the entire band quite simply disappeared. If you're into heavy psych guitar, then this is for you. Tracks such as 'Eternity In Between,' 'Welcome To the Void,' 'Of Dreams' and 'Beggin' Your Pardon' (Miss Joan) were simply drenched with fuzz and feedback guitar. You're in for a pure psychic automatism slice of psychedelia.


Tracklisting:
1. Welcome to the Void
2. Of Dreams
3. Beggin' Your Pardon (Miss Joan)
4. Eternity in Between
5. Purple
6. She's the Nitetime
7. Love

ALRUNE ROD


ALRUNES ROD- (1969 SONET)

This is Denmark's Alrune Rod first album, released in 1969, and it is an epic piece of psyche/prog greatness. Full of long, expansive arrangements and slow, doomy scapes of sound. A treasure of pure Scandinavian acid eccentricity.

*Rock musician and musicologist Julian Cope has described their first two albums as:

"sounding somewhere between early Pink Floyd, an emptier Arthur Brown’s Kingdom Come, and PAWN HEARTS-period Van Der Graaf Generator"
