Psychonaut
ereacd1005
Released 28/06/10. Esoteric Recordings continue with releases on their new Reactive imprint, (dedicated to reissues of classic German rock), with the first ever UK CD release of Psychonaut by Brainticket. Formed in 1968 by Belgian born keyboard player Joel Vandroogenbroeck, the band released their debut album, the extreme psychedelic Cottonwoodhill in Germany in 1971. Breaking apart soon after, Vandroogenbroeck formed a new incarnation of the group with drummer Barney Palm comprising Swiss and Italian musicians.
Psychonaut was recorded in Milan in 1972 and was less intense than Cottonwood Hill but was more cohesive and was an impressive Psychedelic rock album, later much sampled by European Trance DJs. Psychonaut is one of THE essential albums associated with the German Psych & Prog scene of the early 1970's.
Radagacuca / One Morning / Watchin You / Like A Place In The Sun / Feel The Wind Blow / Coc O Mary
1972¿s Psychonaut, by the Swiss-based Brainticket, is early seventies space rock at its finest.
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!
