Morgen - Selftitled (1969)

Morgen - Selftitled

Morgen is from the US. Their song "Welcome to the Void" may be known by many of you, but I wanted to include the whole album here. I love Steve Morgen's vocals, somehow reminds me of Kim Fowley. "Of Dreams" is my favorite song in the album.

Album information:

01 - Welcome To The Void

02 - Of Dreams

03 - Beggin Your Pardon (Miss Joan)

04 - Eternity In Between

05 - Purple

06 - She's The Nitetime

07 - Love

Band information:

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.

Band Information:

The Monks were an avant-garde garage rock band, formed by American GIs who were based in Germany in the mid- to late 1960s. They released one album, Black Monk Time, which was characterized by repetitive, unconventional, and often primitive music and chanted lyrics.

They reunited in 1999 and have continued to play concerts, although no new studio recordings have been made. The Monks stood out from the music of the time, and have developed a cult following amongst many musicians and music fans.

The Misunderstood - Before The Dream Faded (1965-66)

The Misunderstood - Before The Dream Faded

Another English Garage rock band with psychedelic sound. "Children of the Sun", "I Unseen", "Find A Hidden Door"; this "lost" album has many great records. My favorite must be "I Cried My Eyes Out For You", this song gives me the chills, for some reason.

Album information:

01 - Children Of The Sun

02 - My Mind

03 - Who Do You Love

04 - I Unseen

05 - Find A Hidden Door

06 - I Can Take You To The Sun

09 - I Need Your Love

10 - You Don't Have To Go Out

11 - I Cried My Eyes Out

12 - Like I Do

13 - Untitled

Band information:

One of the great lost '60s albums. Side one includes all six of the tracks the Misunderstood recorded in England in 1966, with magnificent guitar work and nervy, ambitious (if a bit overtly cosmic) songwriting that combines some of the best aspects of the Jeff Beck-era Yardbirds and Syd Barrett's Pink Floyd. Remember that Pink Floyd and Hendrix had yet to record when these sides were waxed; they aren't derivations, but genuinely innovative and groundbreaking performances. Side two contains seven pre-psychedelic demos from their U.S. garage days in the mid-'60s that, while not nearly as important as their 1966 work, are solid, crunching R&B-soaked rock in the tradition of their chief British influences.

Band information:

May Blitz is a British heavy rock power trio that was active in the early 1970s.

The group was formed in 1969 by bassist Terry Poole and drummer Keith Baker, the rhythm section of the blues-rocktrio Bakerloo, both of whom left the group when guitarist Clem Clempson departed to join Colosseum. Jamie Black joined the group on vocals and guitars but both Poole and Baker left this group as well before it recorded anything, Poole joining Vinegar Joe and Baker Uriah Heep. Black then added fellow Canadian Reid Hudson on bass and Tony Newman, who had played with Jeff Beck, The Hollies and Sounds Incorporated, on drums.

After some time playing pubs in the UK, the group signed with Vertigo Records (in the US they were on Paramount Records) and released their debut album in 1970. A second album followed early in 1971 but the group did not see success quickly and decided to disband in late 1971. Black and Hudson, both originally from Canada, returned to their native country while Newman went on to join Three Man Army.

Band information:

The Masters Apprentices (or The Masters to fans) were an Australian rock band fronted by Jim Keays on lead vocals, which formed in 1965 in Adelaide, South Australia, relocated to Melbourne in February 1967 and attempted to break into the United Kingdom market from 1970, before disbanding in 1972. Their popular Australian singles are "Undecided", "Living in a Child's Dream", "5:10 Man", "Think About Tomorrow Today", "Turn Up Your Radio" and "Because I Love You". The band launched the career of bass guitarist, Glenn Wheatley, later a music industry entrepreneur and an artist manager for both Little River Band and John Farnham. The band reformed periodically, including in 1987–1988 and again subsequently; they were inducted into the Australian Recording Industry Association(ARIA) Hall of Fame in 1998 alongside The Angels. Both Keays, with His Master's Voice and Wheatley, with Paper Paradise, wrote memoirs in 1999 which included their experiences with the band.

Keays died from pneumonia related to multiple myeloma on 13 June 2014.
