MORGAN ~ NOVA SOLIS ESOTERIC 2152 (Barcode: 5013929725225) ~ UK ~ Progressive Rock Recorded: 1972 Released: 2009 1st album by the excellent UK Prog group MorganFind albums by this artist, founded and led by keyboardist Morgan FisherFind albums by this artist, which also included guitarist Tim StaffellFind albums by this artist, bassist Bob SapsedFind albums by this artist and drummer Morris BaconFind albums by this artist. Fisher was influenced by many contemporary classical composers and not afraid to try the many electronic keyboards that just appeared on the scene, which of course is reflected on this album. Great compositions and beautiful performances dominate this sadly little known gem. By some strange coincidence the band recorded this album in Italy, where it was released by the local branch of RCAFind albums on this label Records. Although a second album was recorded, it was shelved by the label and released only years later. The band disbanded shortly after the album was released. In retrospect the album is quite impressive and years ahead of its time, with brilliant keyboards work and complex compositions. The extended suite, which gave the album its title, is an expanded multi-part musical journey, which occupied the entire B-side of the original LP. Definitely worth investigating and hopefully will be re-discovered by the Prog fan of today.
