HOTEL MORPHILA ORCHESTER - Schwarze Energie 1982

"Punk Meets Art", unique and grandiose interpreted. We're talking about Hotel Morphila Orchester from Vienna, founded 1978 by Peter Weibel (vocals) and Loys Egg (guitar), completed by Paul (guitars), Franz (bass) & Wolfgang (drums). After their 7Inch Dead In The Head on Extraplatte they released a short time later via Schalter their first full-length. A bit of information about the style of the band: Peter's long, programmatic preface corresponds to the artist's staccato on stage: an eruption of key words, text fragments, codes and associations “in his unmistakable style, in which no syllable can be certain that it will not be swallowed up by the flood of words "(Thomas Kramar,"Die Presse"). But that's what one expects and hopes for from Weibel and his Hotel Orchestra: wise words in the corset of well-hung 70s rock'n'rolls: "Schwarze Energie", the combo's splendid debut." But not only excellently lyrically, also musically the four play a solid mid-tempo Rock'n'Roll, not quite so hard but that wouldn't fit. I added two bonus tracks but I don't know where from. They split up in the 80s, reformed in 2011 and a new album Face To Face came out and before that, this album was re-released. A furious masterpiece celebrated with an inspiring dark swing. By the way, cool cover, looks like mine!
