Let's get a few roundup items into features, while I have a few spare minutes here.
Brainticket's sophomore effort is much more melodic and in-the-rails than the insanity of Cottonwoodhill. At times I wish there were some psychotic ramblings - it's almost too safe. It's not even Krautrock (as we know the term), closer to traditional prog rock with female vocals. Solid stuff though, not one to leave the collection anytime soon, if ever.
Ownership: LP: 1971 Durium (Italy). Single sleeve. Online acquisition from Switzerland direct (2014). This replaced the Bellaphon reissue copy I first purchased in 1990. This is the real original and pretty scarce at that. Bellaphon licensed and released it in Germany to a much larger audience (one year later), including multiple pressings and importing around the globe. Durium is the same label that J.E.T. is on. Worth noting that this features the full artwork (see images), that the Bellaphon pressings obfuscated with a border.
1990; 1998; 2014; 2/1/23 (LP 4.5); 4/5/23 (new entry)
