Welcome To The Void/Of Dreams/Begging Your Pardon (Miss Jones)/Eternity In Between/Purple/She’s The Night Time/Love
Self titled sole album from the obscure New York heavy rock group Morgen. Their music has been described as a mixture of acid garage and hard rock with some over the top vocals.
“Despite the rather amateurish singing, I really like this album and the vocals add to the charm. To say the album is psychedelic, is as accurate as one could get. It has the feel, song structure, and of course, the fuzz guitar that add up to a fascinating musical journey. There is even a little bit of keyboard and some harmony guitar parts here and there.”
“Every song contains excellent guitar work and introspective lyrics. Unfortunately Steve Morgen went into acting following the release of Morgen and never again recorded. What a loss for the music industry. But what a legacy he left behind.”
“Psychedelic album, that neither feels too strange nor too poppy. It has great production, you really have the right amount of distortion in those guitars and it just sounds great for the time. Even though I feel that the drumming is quite poor, it is an album that can be described as being always good but never great, as some parts wander about a bit too much.”
“Morgen's only studio album is a really high quality piece of hard rocking psychedelic rock from the late 60s. The more you listen to it, the more you will love it. Steve Morgen's really good guitar work is one of the driving forces here but the songs are also well written.”
“Great hard psych. The guitar playing and tone on this album is incredible. This is definitely a benchmark of the hard psych genre. Every song is pretty awesome. My only complaint is that there seems to be too much of a focus on lyrics, i.e. more of this album should be guitar solos.”
“The album overall has nice melodies floating everywhere, and the music is very late 60s and heavy for it's time. The lyrics don't make a whole lot of sense. But I think the music is much more important for these types of albums. A lot of nice fuzzy sounding guitars, and also contains some nice and smooth melodies.”
