60’s psychedelic band originally from Long Island, New York. Led by Steven Morgen, who simply named his band Morgen. Good effort, though pretty obscure.
Trippy grooves with a lot of stone vibe. Scary-horror themed songs. Nice creepy vocals and acid guitars . Also the Jazz Rock is here .
The original sole 1969 recording was recently re-released on Probe label on 180 gram vinyl. Worth searching out if you like this stuff.
Steve Morgen released a rare low-selling album in the late '60s,
simply titled Morgen, that's highly regarded by some collectors,
particularly those who like a sound balanced between psychedelia and the
beginning of hard rock.
Morgen sang and wrote all of the material, which was very much of its time in its overlong, sometimes clumsy nature.
He was a closer-to-the-edge type than many also-rans who dove into acid rock, though, boasting "Welcome to the Void" as the opening track, and lusting hard after both women and spiritual elevation as furiously distorted guitars ground away.
As unknown weird heavy acid rock goes, he's above average, and worth investigation from those who like a little lyrical intrigue and unpredictable twists with their furious guitars.

WELCOME TO THE VOID
LYRICS
Come take a bite of my Ginger-bread house
and let your troubles fade away
Let your mind get away from the fall
I say: Welcome to the void
Did you know that Peter Pan can fly
he just pats himself with dust
I'll get you some if you're a very good boy
and if in me you put your truste
Ha ha ha ha ha ha..!
I say: Welcome to the void
I say: Welcome to the void
Jack be numble, Jack be quick
Jack jump over the candlestick
Ouch said Jack as he touched the lighted wick
My God you know that fire burns
Old woman she lives in a shoe
What a very funny thing
She's really happy for today she received
forty red, white and blue shoestrings
Beauty did kiss the Beast
and the much to her surprise
a handsome prince did then appear
and then the beast scratched out his eyes
I say: Welcome to the void
I say: Welcome to the void
If you're good and if you watch your ways
One day to heaven you will go
you will lose everything you've ever know before
Who cares it's better than below
Ha ha ha ha ha ha..!
I say: Welcome to the voidI say: Welcome to the void
Pretty flowers and a bright yellow sky
Little squarrel gathering good
Picnic's over it's time to go home
What's for dinner - squarrel stw
Did you hear about Sam's Uncle Joe
Got lots of heads upon his wall
He stands a hundred yards behind a cheaters glass
Oh he's the bravest of them all
Fall Fall Fall...
Did you know that a good man died
oh how terrible they say
But you know that's just a part of life
it kind of happens every day
Noooooo !

ReplyDeleteUn poco de una banda olvidada, Morgen - grupo americano de la ciudad de Nueva York, fundada por el guitarrista y vocalista Steve Morgen,
ReplyDeleteDejaron atras un unico álbum lanzado originalmente en 1969,
lleno principalmente con sonido agudo, a veces incluso enojado, de guitarras, voces, garaje y fabulosos ritmos de
tambores y excelentes bajos. psicodelia pura en su maxima expresion.
Toda la banda giraba en torno a Steve Morgen, el cantante principal y el único compositor,
La letras en ocaciones son raras y su voz es buena, pero no llega a ser fantástica.
Steve Morgen era un verdadero héroe psicodélico y este artefacto lo demuestra.
Es un viaje en los años 60, balanceo de cabezas, por caminos de blues, rock y psicodelia, un album que estremecera a cualquier hippy.
¿Qué pasó con Steve Morgen? ¿Qué pasó con los restantes miembros de la banda?
No lo puedo decir, nadie parece saber lo que les ocurrió y lo que hicieron el resto de sus vidas,
si están vivos o no, si es que todavía realizan o reproducir música. Es desconocido para mí.
Tal vez esta edicion remasterizada y aumentada aclare un poco las dudas.
Saludos
thank you buddy , From Hell yeah
