"I have seen the future of jazz/metal fusion and its name is MORGLBL !"
- jojogunne 8/25/2011

Finally, legitimate concerts come to Florence, SC in the guise of three
European bands: Morglbl, Panzerballett and Freak Kitchen. The bands are
respectively from France, Germany and Sweden and they ripped the faces
off all who saw them. Each band contains an incredible guitar wizard
(Panzerballett has two) and I saw visions of musical integrity and
prowess for $7 US (< 5 Euros). The first band, a French trio called
Morglbl, is well-known in France & Europe but virtually unknown here
in the US. I believe that's about to change....Christophe Godin is an
amazing guitarist who is one-third John McLaughlin, one-third Steve Morse
and one-third Steve Vai. He delivers lightning-fast complex solos
effortlessly and he's funny as hell too. You gotta be there to believe him.
Ivan Rougny is a master of the bass and light-years beyond Geddy Lee
IMHO. Aurelien Ouzoulias rounds out the trio as an excellent drummer
and together these guys are one of the tightest bands I've ever seen.
I saw them at The Fountainhead, which is a new bar in the downtown area
and a fledgling musical venue for local bands & national (international !)
acts. The audience was small but mighty and the band played their asses
off for them. Herewith, several random observations about the band, the
venue and the evening...

This was the 1st show of the tour and about the 4th time that the band
had played in the US, I think. I had a hard time understanding some of
Monsieur Godin's stage banter because Morglbl (basically pronounced MOR'-
guhl-bull) is an instrumental band and the mics were not turned up very
loudly. Christoph's English is very good. You'll have no trouble hearing
the music but you WILL have to turn the volume WAY up to understand the
between-song stage banter. Track 2 was played again at the end of the show
for a guy who came a little late and wanted to hear the song in its entirety.
I could not understand the name of the final track but it sounded like
"Totale Cote d'Verde". If you know, let me know. Many of these songs will be
out on a CD to be released in January 2012 so we'll know the name of that
song then, I guess. It was the 1st time out live for several of these tunes
so that should be a treat for those of you who grab this. Morglbl reminds
me a LOT of Mahavishnu Orchestra and I believe that Godin is just as good
as McLaughlin. If you love MO and/or melodic instrumental heavy metal,
you'll LOVE this stuff. J'aime beaucoup s'il vous plait...

Highlights of the evening included watching a cockroach crawl across the
floor during the performance only to vanish somewhere close to the stage
and getting harassed by some homeless clown for a ride and/or money at
11:30 PM outside the venue. He got neither from me. (The venue was very
clean and enjoyable ; cockroaches are a way of life in SC). The recording
is very clear and has no hiss, distortion or speed problems ; you will
enjoy it immensely if you grab it. Give this band a chance. I think you'll
be pleasantly surprised...

Finally, it's time to get this show on the shining path to spiritual
enlightenment sooooooooooo no buy, no sell, no mp3. Please seed this
as long as you can. This is a very high-energy show in which everybody
shines. I will post samples shortly for those of you still undecided,
but I think you'll find that this is a very fine-sounding recording
and a great addition to any Morglbl fan's collection. Well, thanks for
reading this and Mr. Natural would like to add these few comments:
have fun, it's OK to be a bloody American and by all means, enjoy
the concert!!! Vive la France !!! Vive Morglbl !!! We are bloody
French !!!
