Long raved over by discerning collectors of '70s hard rock and metal, Night Sun's sole LP from 1972 was one of those overlooked gems which, through the fault of bad promotion, bad timing, or bad luck, barely notched a blip on the radar of rock & roll at the time of its release. Like many German hard rock albums of the day, Mournin' was produced by Conny Planck (Faust, Kraftwerk, David Bowie, etc.), who took the Manheim-based quartet into Hamburg's Windrose Studios in 1972, soon to emerge with nine consistently scorching heavy rock tracks enriched with organs and semi-proggy tendencies in a similar vein to Uriah Heep, Lucifer's Friend, and Deep Purple.
