Rickter Scale Show 185 - Morglbl, Crucis, Ezra
airing Sunday, July 6 from 8-11 PM EST and Monday, July 7 from 1-4 PM EST
A fun week on the Rickter Scale - first up we will hear a full concert of studio songs....what is that you say? It is Morglbl's show at Nearfest, played in order, but the studio cuts. I did cut out one song due to time constraints, and the encores. After all, they don't have a studio version of Smoke on the Water! The set list (thank you Nearfest and Prog Ears) - Morglbl: The Tale of Thibault Streets and Traps Tapas Nocturne Lieutenant Colombin Le Projet Pied de Biche Buffet Froid (this is the one I skipped) Les Mechanismes du Temps Haute Voltige en Haute-Volta L'ami Deglingo Totale Bricole I was going to play Morglbl this week, and when I picked the songs, it was close to the set list. The first two songs and "du temps" are off the Morglbl Trio (their first record, in 1998) and the remainder are off Grotesk, their amazing 2007 release. Crucis - Crucis (1976) Todo Tiempo Posible Mes Corto Amanecer La Triste Vision del Entierro Propio Ironico Ser Determinados Espejos Recluso Artista Crucis - Los Delirios del Mariscal (1977) No Me Separen de mi Los Delirios del Mariscal Pollo Frito Abismo Terranal Two great records from the mid-70's by this great Argentinian band. Definitely a Focus sound on the second disc, but typical great South American prog/fusion. Some fine vocal, and wonderful arrangements. Ezra - Songs From Pennsylvania (2006) A Little Bit More Everyday Summer Again Underground Chances Lazy Alive I had seen these guys at Summers' End in the UK in 2006, and thought they were pleasant, but wasn't too wowed. Maybe it was the two attractive ladies singing with the band that dulled my senses (Rogor Mortis where are those pics!). I finally got around to buying this at Nearfest.....a great disc I must say. The first song is a great rock and roll sing along, catchy like something Big Country would do. "Everyday" may be the best song, and "Summer Again" has the best three minute closing section I've heard in ages. Although it's a very front-loaded disc, all of it is very good. Next week - a 2008 instant classic, an old favorite, and a some obscure stuff. |

Right on Rick. Looks like a good show. I'll be listening! Hopefully I'll be set up with 128K stream by then.
