GROBSCHNITT
First of many albums by one of the major prog bands in Germany, recorded with two drummers and closer to the krautrock spirit their later symph efforts (Rockpommel's Land, Ballerman & co.) This is a special Canadian pressing with an unique label (Kraut Rock) housed in a German made cover with the Brain logo. Please note that all the Canadian copies were made like this and that the catalog numbers match.
"As we open up the album with Symphony, one is confronted by a relatively subdued zanyness, having a fun time keeping track of all the musical events succeeding rapidly. If you can picture vocals sounding like Chris Farlowe (yes, almost that good!) with a Santana -sounding guitar on top of superb organs and a very dynamic rhythm section (Eroc , the drummer is the leader of this group and the second drummer Harlos will leave after this album), you can see how much fun this album can be. This double drummer thing coupled with that guitar sound can remind you also of the absolute masterpiece Caravanserai of Santana but nothing to disturb you. Travelling is also quite fine but the well-named first track of side 2 is totally overshadowed by the others. Side 2 is an almost-side-long suite with many great events throughout its almost 18 mins. This of course is another highlight." - Hugues Chantraine
