Fantastic: progressive rock A new record, another amazing piece of “krautrock,” has been released, according to a superstar.
This rare box set captures the highly adventurous and fruitful musical era in West Germany known as “krautrock,” which is the epitome of the genre and the label Brain Records that made it possible.
A collector’s paradise, The Brain Box – Cerebral Sounds Of Brain Records 1972-1979, includes groundbreaking performers like Cluster, Grobschnitt, Klaus Schulze, Guru Guru, and other influential post-psychedelic bands.
English-speaking music writers created the word “krautrock” in an attempt to categorize the wide range of creative, passionate, and joyful music emerging from Germany, and an international following was developed.
Now, many of these difficult-to-find albums have been painstakingly put together into a single, extensive box set that includes eight CDs (with 83 songs), a 74-page hardback book, and a Brain logo tote bag that will be available on stores on March 31, 2017.
Mark Powell, the creator of the Esoteric Recordings label, wrote the liner notes in both German and English, and Eroc, a former drummer of Grobschnitt and mastering expert, has recently restored all of the recordings.
The package includes songs from Scorpions’ debut album on Brain, before they turned into a heavy metal band, as well as songs by genre-bending artists including Embryo, Novalis, Wolfgang Dauner, Jane, SpyroGyra, and Alexis Korner.
Live recordings from the Brain Festival 1977 in the Grugahalle venue in Essen, Germany, which were previously exclusively accessible on vinyl, are also included in the retrospective box set.
On March 31, 2017, The Brain Box: Cerebral Sounds Of Brain Records 1972-1979 became available. See the complete list of tracks below.
