The sixth album from this band from Germany.
The band was a quintet here with a lineup of percussion, drums, bass, piano, organ, mellotron, synths, harmonium, flute, samples and vocals.
Some guests added male and female backing vocals.
I have not been very impressed by their first albums. Some of them has been downright poor.
The band was much more a krautrock band on their first albums than the space rock influenced krautrock band they later became.
Morbus is an eighty minutes long album with a lot of krautrock ditties and weirdo stuff. They reminds me about Gong and Daevid Allen at times when it comes to ditties and their attempts on being funny and amusing. Attempts only partial successful.
After a pretty poor first half of this album, the album becomes a lot better when the band moves much more in the direction of space rock.
This is by no means an impressive album. It is still a decent enough album. Check it out if krautrock with all it's ills rocks your world.
