My first Brainticket album. I love the hypnotic organ play of Joel Vandroogenbroeck--and the sexy vocal performances of Dawn Muir. I find the constant influx of incidentals parading in and out of the soundscapes highly entertaining--loving to imagine what was going on in the studio ( and in Joel's mind) at the time. Even the long repetitiveness of the band's signature piece--all three parts--are enjoyable (they always pass so quickly!) What I would consider a signature piece of the whole Krautrock music movement--especially in keeping to its true original essence of Kosmische Musik or "Cosmic Music". While not essential, and not even great (especially due to its 34 minute length and sometimes questionable or even shoddy sound engineering) but it is definitely capturing the essence of the burgeoning experimental drug-induced "cosmic" music scene occurring in Germanic states. It is well worth hearing--you'll probably smile and enjoy yourself.
