COTTONWOODHILL

Brainticket released their first classes in savage free form psych/ space rock before to engage themselves into more synthesised soundworlds. This first album is without any doubt one of the most tripped out album released during this early 70's krautrock period. It presents an astonishing collection of fuzzy-harmonised-damaged acid songs. Black Sand opens with a screaming-nervous psychedelic song with fuzzed out guitar tricks, vintage groovy organs. A mighty composition. Places of Light is a beatific-acid folk ballad dominated by ethereal dancing flutes and epic organs. Supreme stuff and totally improvised. Brainticket part 1 is a provocative, delirious association of collage sounds. Brainticket part 2 launches the listener into an eternal, obsessionaly repetitive acid (almost funky) groove. Definitely recommended before to go to their ultimate masterpiece Psychonaut. A classic of the genre.
