Repressed. Clear vinyl reissue of Brainticket's Psychonaut, originally released in 1972. While the band's debut album, 1971's Cottonwoodhill, was a heavily acid-laden affair dominated by droning organ, disturbing vocals, and a collection of cacophonic sound effects (causing it to carry a warning label and be banned in several countries), for their second effort, band-founder Joël Vandroogenbroeck brought in a completely new line-up and changed the band's sound dramatically. While Psychonaut still takes listeners into the realm of altered consciousness -- making heavy use of a droning Hammond, sitar, tablas, etc. -- this time the vocals are more melodic and the music itself is more song-oriented. This is by far Brainticket's most accessible album and perhaps their most timeless. Fully remastered from the original master tapes.

2021 repress. Clear vinyl reissue of Brainticket's Cottonwoodhill, originally released in 1971. Cottonwoodhill -- their debut album -- immediately ran into controversy for its association with psychedelic drugs. The album came with a warning label that insisted you should "only listen once a day to this record. Your brain might be destroyed," which led to the album being banned in several countries including the USA.

2018 repress. Lilith present a reissue of Brainticket's Psychonaut, originally released in 1972. Psychonaut, by the Swiss-based Brainticket, is early seventies space rock at its finest. While the band's debut album, 1971's Cottonwoodhill (LR 313LP), was a heavily acid-laden affair dominated by droning organ, disturbing vocals, and a collection of cacophonic sound effects (causing it to carry a warning label and be banned in several countries), for their second effort, band-founder Joël Vandroogenbroeck brought in a completely new line-up and changed the band's sound dramatically. While Psychonaut still takes listeners into the realm of altered consciousness -- making heavy use of a droning Hammond, sitar, tablas, etc. -- this time the vocals are more melodic and the music itself is more song-oriented. This is by far Brainticket's most accessible album and perhaps their most timeless. Fully remastered from the original master tapes. Includes CD.

2012 release. Like Halley's Comet, after 30+ years spent travelling to other worlds, Brainticket's Joel Vandroogenbroek is again lighting up the night sky. The year 2000 marked Brainticket's return with Alchemic Universe, their first full-length LP in decades. Fans expecting a replica of Brainticket's early seventies sound be warned, Joel has not spent the past thirty years in a bubble, and the band has happily evolved to keep pace with the new millennium, while still managing to keep its kosmiche roots intact. While Joel performs musical duties (keyboards, synth, guitar, flute), a nice surprise is Carol Muriel (fans may remember her from Celestial Ocean) on vocals on several tracks. CD features the full version of "Transformation Of A Stream," as well as the originally intended track order. Last copies...
