MOURNIN'
NIGHT SUN
1972 , GERMANY - Out of print/Fuori stampa
Label: SECOND BATTLE
ALBUM REVIEW
A heavy rock group. Their only album Mournin' was released in 1972 on Polydor's Zebra-label. Schaab's vocals were creaky and recalled the screams of Ian Gillan. In addition, the group played a loud, Deep Purple-like rock - with a characteristic "heavy progressive" instrumentation of twin guitars, organ, bass and drums. With their sudden shifts of rhythm structures, guitar coupled with organ riffing style and some studio effects (particularly phasing) courtesy of Plank, Night Sun fortunately never went too close to the ordinary boogie and rock'n'roll trap. The album was produced by Konrad Plank at the Windrose Studio, Hamburg. After the demise of the group, Bruno Schaab briefly joined Guru Guru, where his contribution was notable on the track "The Story Of Life". (Dag Erik Asbjornsen)
