ALBUM REVIEW
FREE ELECTRIC SOUND is proud to reissue two long out of print albums from this groundbreaking French fusion trio. Toons Tunes From The Past re-presents 1997’s Ze Mörglbl Trio!! and 1999’s Bienvenue a Mörglbl Land, along with 2 unreleased tracks. Over the years, MÖRGLBL has developed a unique sound mixing equal parts of ALLAN HOLDSWORTH’s virtuosity, the heaviness of PANTERA and FRANK ZAPPA’s off kilter humor. MÖRGLBL was born in 1996 after noted guitarist CHRISTOPHE GODIN decided to form an instrumental fusion rock band. After meeting JEAN PIERRE FRELEZEAU (drums) and IVAN ROUGNY (bass), they decided to work together on the project. In 1997, MÖRGLBL’s . rst cd named Ze Mörglbl Trio!! was released and received a MÖRGLBL good reaction from the French press. The band toured intensively in France, placing Christophe as one of France’s top guitar players. In 1999, the band’s second album, Bienvenue a Mörglbl Land, was released. The band toured Europe, and Christophe started working as ambassador for LANEY AMPS, VIGIER GUITARS, ZOOM EFFECTS and ALVAREZ acoustic guitars. In 2000, MÖRGLBL disbanded, as the individual members pursued other projects. In 2007 MÖRGLBL regrouped and recorded their newest cd Grotesk (Free Electric Sound FES4006). The band toured Russia, Italy, Germany, Netherlands, the USA, as well as France of course, where their popularity rapidly grew after the news of their reunion spread. 2008 found MÖRGLBL touring the east coast of the United States, culminating in a mindbending performance at NEARFEST X that became the buzz of the festival. This was the .rst time in the 10 year history of Nearfest that an opening act received two encores! Mörglbl will be touring the US again in 2009. CD 1: 1. Links, 2. The Tale Of Thibault, 3.
