MORPHEUS — Rabenteuer (1976-1998) Two Version | APE + FLAC (image+.tracks+.cue), lossless

For the first time in this series this is progressive jazz rock, doing without any vocals but featuring an alto saxophone and occasionally a transverse flute. When the precursors of Morpheus, the band Opossum, wanted to tie their members down to free jazz, half of the crew refused to obey, left the band and founded Morpheus in early 1975. Their only LP, "Rabenteuer", was released in an edition of 500 copies and is by now an expensive collectors’ item. For the CD, which was taken from the master tapes, the 20-minute "Morpheus jam" has been dug out as a bonus track. Particularly outstanding are the spacey sounds in the first quarter of "Abflug", so that this track was also selected for the CD on hand. The mishap that the LP is a bit too slow and thus a semitone too low has been put right on this CD. GOD
