Coming to you from Baden-Baden, Germany, this is the rare 1973 original pressing in laminated cover of the band's second of two Lp's.

Brainstorm's main player is the multi talented Roland Schaeffer, who plays bass, guitar and winds.

Schaeffer later joined up with Guru Guru. Brainstorm combines progressive, jazz and complex experimental-rock formations along with bits of Zappa-like weirdness and the Canterbury sound of say Soft Machine and Caravan. Jo Koinzer's superb flute playing is quite noticeable on "Herbst" and "Affenzahn". Enno Dernov's keyboard work is also impressive on "There Was A Time...". Also liked the groove laden "Marilyn Monroe." 

The song HERBST, (autumn), was left over from their days as FASHION PINK,(1970-71), when they were a bit more psychrock orienated. Its an acoustic guitar and flute with keyboard arpeggios, low key and relaxing, that picks up tempo halfway through. It could have easily been recorded by CARAVAN or SOFT MACHINE.

Throughout both sides BRAINSTORM have unexpected chord progressions, with melodic lines that can be very angular, and disjointed, yet swing like the progressive jazz rock fusion bands of early '70s were so into. Some may think their is Too much FREAK, and not enough JAZZ, but to our preference, it's preferred. MY WAY has great drum breaks, the band is TIGHT; enjoy their sound in getting bounced around by all the time changes, mood changes, and chord changes, includes a coda where they simply increase the speed of the recording tape, to give the song at blast off effect. So, decidedly the album is fun to listen to.

So if you have a taste for the NEAR avant-guard, mixed with a central Euro take on the Zappa/Soft Machine jazz rock sound, this is a band worth consideration.
