crying for help

one of my absolute favorite songs of all time is "Crying By the Kiss", by the Morgans.

i discovered the song on a cheap gothic compilation album that i picked up in some bargain bin.

dark and beautiful, i think the song is nearly perfection for the genre. anytime it comes up on my playlist, i have to put it on repeat a few times to get my fill.

i have that song and a few others from the Morgans on various compilations, but i've never been able to track down a full album from them. i've scoured the web and filesharing networks looking for somewhere to (preferably) purchase an album, but i'd settle for downloading some songs if that was all i could get. i've had no luck though. i can't find any other info on the band or even whether they even have an album out.

this is where the robot readers come in. i know some of you spend a lot of time digging through used record stores and such. if you can find any albums by the morgans in any format for sale anywhere, please let me know in a comment. thanks.

[ed. note -- for those of you unable to play an .OGG file, Click Here to listen to a converted mp3 file. OGG is still a very high quality format, and it's worth persuing a player in the future.

Also, I looked all over the place on the net for info about the Morgans, and there ain't SHIT out there. Surely someone out there must know something...]

Hi,


I also would like to hear your absolute fav song but unfortunaly I can't play .ogg files on my old OS. Could you reupload it as mp3 please. Thanks, Dennis

I too would love to hear the song. Please, Please reupload as an mp3 file.
Thanx!

there are a number of ogg players for pretty much every platform out there: http://www.vorbis.com/software.psp

i'm too lazy to convert it.

winamp (winamp.com) plays OGG natively, and is a kickass player worth looking into.

Big thanks for converting it. It's a great song that starts a little bit boring but becomes very interesting towards the end. Further it's a song that gets better with each repeat.

Bye and thanks again,

Dennis

so i looked in gemm.com and found a handful of singles ("half girl, half jesus," "say," "taste," "teenile dementia," and "tell me what you taste"), all of which appear on 6 different goth/rock/industrial comps they're all from england, from the mid-90s, on the Diversity label or Daft Pope - I would imagine they might not have put out a full length, because all the singles are on CD and 7" but i couldn't find anything else...

thanks, blair. i have most of those songs already from the compilations that they're on, but i'll probably pick up the singles anyway.

Posted by: anders at June 3, 2004 11:22 AM

I have three cd singles I would be willing to part with.

Tell Me What You Taste
Half Girl Half Jesus
Teenile Dementia

if anyone can point me in the direction of the mp3 of Atichoo then I would be eternally greatfull.

Thank you guys and gals for what little info you could provide. Ever since I got the compilation disc with Teenile Dementia it has been driving me nuts that I can't find anything out about the band. I'll keep searching and if I ever find anything else then I will share it back here. Thanks for the leads on the singles that I didn't know of.

I too am looking for anything I can find by the Morgans. I've recently discovered them on the "Flesheaters" 3-Disc box set, and am now hellbent on finding anything else I can. If anyone knows where I could buy or download something, PLEASE e-mail me and let me know!

Also, I have had no luck finding anything about the band. What the hell happened to them? Someone, please fill us in! I love their sound, but know nothing about them. Again, e-mail me if you know anything. I'd like to put together some sort of web page for them....

Just an addendum to my last post, I have recently found two more songs -- "Tommy", found on the "Shit Factory: Volume 3" compilation, and "Atishoo", found on the "Shit Factory: Volume 4" compilation albums. I must say, they are very solid songs. Totally worth the listen!

i dont know much about the morgans but "teenile dementia" and "atishoo" are on a compilation called THE ENTIRE HISTORY OF PUNK. volumes 16 (atishoo) and 14 (teenile dementia) i think
