COTTONWOODHILL

Although I can admit liking this album , I am very cautious about recommending those crazy Swiss to other progheads. Mostly because of the psychic and very repetitive nature of this album. Actually two third of the vinyl are dedicated to one riff slowly evolving but still staying put (to the point of becoming minimalistic) and strange vocals sometimes reaching orgasmic levels but never realling reaching cosmic heights. Actually my fave tracks are the first two that are for the average proghead worthy of their attention , but as I said approach the last three (actually one track in three section) with care, this may put off more than one symphonic fan . The mainman from Brainticket is Joel Vandroogenbroeck is a Swiss madman with a Dutch name that might translate as "from the dry river" , this might be prophetic for his music.

May I suggest to you if you are interested in investigating this album , you might want to prepare a big fat doobie in preview to hearing this. Believe me , it helps.
