MORMOS was an electric USA group who emigrated to France and recorded on CBS-Frrance in the 1970s. This fully-restored recording was re-mastered by original composer and MORMOS member, Ernie Mansfield.
MORMOS recorded 2 albums and 2 singles in France in the 1970s, on CBS records. Only recently, these "Live" tapes surfaced, displaying their even wilder and crazier performances! Edited and mastered by original MORMOS member, Ernie Mansfield.
This MORMOS is the best recorded quality ever! Better than the initial vinyl release by CBS. This is the only release transferred directly from the reel-to-reel tapes. It sounds like MORMOS is performing in your living room!
I'm a big fan of alternate tunings and Eastern/Western instrument combinations. Shelley blends these into a pop setting quite well. It makes for interesting music.
First of all, I just love the vocals and piano on this album! The voices are so high and sweet, but always beautiful (never harsh). They remind me of my own instrument (the flute). The first time I listened to the entire album, I was in my car, in the middle of a huge traffic jam. The music put me at peace! ~ Ernie Mansfield erniemansfield.bandcamp.com/album/french-impressions-latin-themes
I love Jim Cuomo's music! I was in a band with Jim (The MORMOS) in Paris, France, in the 70s. The song, St. Ives, also appears on the MORMOS first album, Great Wall of China, which is available here on Bandcamp: mormos.bandcamp.com
