BRAINVILLE

Brainville biography
BRAINVILLE was created as a supergroup, when DAEVID ALLEN (SOFT MACHINE, GONG, and other numerous projects, including solo ones), HUGH HOPPER (SOFT MACHINE, solo career), PIP PYLE (GONG, HATFIELD AND THE NORTH, NATIONAL HEALTH (to name only a few), solo career) joined forces with a producer, musician, composer (among many other things) MARK KRAMER, also known professionally as KRAMER, who had collaborated with literally tens of groups and artists, including works with DAEVID ALLEN, HUGH HOPPER, and JOHN ZORN, within the realm of Prog.

The group toured the UKand the USA in 1998, and all this resulted in an album called "The Children's Crusade", released in 1999. The album is said to be dedicated to Stanley Kubrick, and is reported as a psychedelic jazz-rock album.

After that a group was reduced to a trio; they continued to appear live. In 2004 the live album called "Brainville: Live in the UK was released. A typical Canterbury album, it shows utmost musical skills and energy (despite the age of musicians), being a wonderful performance.

After the sad PIP PYLE's passing away CHRIS CUTLER (HENRY COW, ART BEARS (among the others), solo career) was recruited. The band is still (right for the moment - 2007) active, it tours under the slightly different name -BRAINVILLE 3 - now.
