COTTONWOOD HILL & PSYCHONAUT 1971 1972  2xLP Prog Psych 

      Amazing journey into the eye of the psychedelic storm

              BRAINTICKET

\                      Germany - BELLAPHON purple Bellaphon - 3207 003

Hard to find 70's? double Lp that pairs both the first two 1971-72 BRAINTICKET albums together, featuring both covers on either side ...one of the all time spaced tripper psychedelic progressives you'll ever experience...they didn't make many this far out, yet somehow cohesive in a stoned way...

Lp #1

1971 BRAINTICKET ~ COTTONWOOD HILL

BRAINTICKET's 1971 first album is perhaps one of the most psychedelic recordings of all time. Led by Swiss swirling organ wizard Joel Vandroogenbroeck, BRAINTICKET will space you out beyond belief! "Cottonwood Hill" is loaded with acid laced guitar solos, heavy forboding organ screeches and loads of psychedelic influenced lyrics and flipped-out female vocals. The album starts with a Brainticket classic, 'Black Sand' with a pounding rhythmic drum and bass section with great organ and fuzzed-up guitar wailing over the top and heavily effected vocals over the top. 'Places of Light' is more of the same this time with a freaky trancy foundation and groovy sound female vocals. The uninitiated should recognize that the title song BRAINTICKET Part 1 & 2 does have mind damaging brain-melting passages-- perfectly psychedelic and may trouble some listeners out there. Like all good prog rock, BRAINTICKET explore a vast array of music here and move into heavy west-coast acid-freaked-out psychedelia. To sum it all up is to simply say that if your into the psychedelia then BRAINTICKET is your long lost grandfather!

LP #2

1972 BRAINTICKET ~ PSYCHONAUT

Killer acid-head-like psychedelia which would make the perfect sonic companion for your household lava lamp. BRAINTICKET's "Psychonaut" is a chilled-out psychedelic gem which must adorn your collection above the mantle piece. "Psychonaut" is full of warped yet clever music which moves from the soft canvess of "One Morning" to the heavy instrumental psyched rock of Coc'o Mary. BRAINTICKET is brain food and probably deserves to be filed under ones "Stoner Rock" section. Led by keyboard giant Joel Vandroogenbroeck and female vocalist Jane Free who carries of picture perfect west-coast persona making BRAINTICKET's second release a "gotta have-it release". "Psychonaut" will take you on a journey into regions of your mind you have never travelled before. This is uniquely enabled through their darkly crafted use of whirling / fluttering flutes, gushing swirl organs, distoted guitars, wild percussive elements and loads of trippy sound effects. All in all this is a superb psychedelic-progressive rock offering which should appeal to ALL 'heads' out there.
