BRAINSTORM was one of the most talented bands of the Seventies German Progressive rock scene. Released in 1972 and often regarded as a long-lost gem, the eponymous album showcased complex music with unusual harmonies and compositions based upon many different themes, enhanced by flute and distorted organ. This is dynamic and inventive Progressive rock, somewhere between SOFT MACHINE, CARAVAN and MOVING GELATINE PLATES. Three bonus tracks recorded during radio programmes in 1971 complete this excellent Musea reissue. To be rediscovered !
