Morgen was a hard rock/psych band that hailed from Long Island, NY. They were fronted by guitarist/vocalist/wild man Steve Morgen but also included drummer Bob Maiman and guitarists Barry Stock and Rennie Genossa. In 1969, record label Probe (ABC) released the group's sole offering. The album's best known track is the classic "Welcome To The Void." 40+ years later this cut's over the top acid guitar work and pounding drums still shred the best of speakers. Certainly a unique mixture of acid garage and hard rock, "Welcome To The Void" is essential listening. There are other great cuts to be found on Morgen , [...]

Hidden Shoal Recordings today announced the official CD release of the stunning new album by German instrumental duo Sankt Otten . Sankt Otten's fourth album sees the duo's sound evolving once again, while retaining the undeniable hallmarks of atmosphere, melodic dexterity and depth. Morgen wieder lustig employs stacks of luscious synthesizers, with knowing nods to fellow Germans Kraftwerk and Klaus Schulze, alongside Oliver Klemm's hallmark soaring guitar drones and Stephan Otten's unmistakable rhythms. The album presents a musical vision that is both epic and personal – a kind of internal cinema. [...]

Hidden Shoal Recordings are excited to announce the release of the stunning new single by German instrumental duo Sankt Otten . ' Lustig, lustig demain encore lustig ' is the neon drug nightscape to Sankt Otten's 2007 single ' Wunden gibt es immer wieder 's electric opium day. The track is like a magnet, irresistibly drawing the listener along with its hypnotic drums. The arpeggiated synth hook then digs in, before Oliver Klemm's brooding ebowed guitar unleashes a killer blow. Soaked in majestic refrains, 'Lustig, lustig demain encore lustig' is a reminder that Sankt Otten's power lies [...]

FUFKIN writes, "Very little is known of the elusive group Morgen, who recorded a one-off album for ABC's psychedelic subsidiary Probe in 1969 and then apparently vanished. The group's namesake leader was Steve Morgen, and while some reference books actually credit the album to him solely, Morgen was indeed a group, consisting of Steve, Rennie Genossa, Bob Maiman, and Barry Stock, all of whom supposedly hailed from Long Island, New York. Their album made no impact when originally released and has since become rare and sought-after, especially after dealers and collectors began declaring it a "psychedelic classic" [...]
What a long, long day. Tonight I am in Tucson, and tomorrow I'll be in LA. There weren't many stops to make today, as I wanted to drive as far as I could without stopping. I didn't get any free breakfast this morning from the hotel, so I was forced to spend $2.89 for a Sonic breakfast burrito combo meal. It was the first time I ever had Sonic, and will probably be the last time. Everything was going good until I got to the last few bites of the burrito, and it began leaking what was either melted butter [...]
