Jigsaw/jingle (Mats/Morgan Band) (LP 3255 - 3256)

Mats/Morgan Band  On Air With Guests (CD, Ultimate Audio Entertainment, 2002) ***  

Mats/Morgan Band  Thanks For Flying With Us (CD, Cuneiform Records, 2005) ***  

Genre: Alt-rock 

Places I remember: Keegan Purdy gave me copies of these two albums.

Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Wenji (Thanks...) (Not on your usual platforms)

Gear costume: Alive In Enskede (bonus track on Thanks...) (Not on your usual platforms)

They loom large in his legend (The Album Collection playlists): Part 1; Part 2; Part 3; Part 4; Part 5

Active compensatory factors: Mats/Morgan Band features Swedes Morgan Ågren and Mats Öberg. Morgan is a drummer/composer and Mats is a keyboard player/composer. The band is a showcase for their virtuosic skills which often takes on Zappa like complexity. Indeed, that's why Keegan gave me these CDs - they have a history of collaboration with Uncle Frank.

Their own music is difficult to categorize, containing elements of jazz, electronic music, waltz, dance music, avant-garde/free jazz, techno, rock, progressive and modern classical music. It's not an easy listen (Jacky asked me to take it off when I played it again for this blog entry).

Nothing from their prolific career is on Spotify.

Where do they all belong? An interesting sidebar, but not for the faint hearted.
