In My Own Words:
I've always been a fan of rock&roll that has at least some sign of life to it. My tastes can range from the Monkees to Metallica, from Supertramp to Slayer. I've attend over 950 concerts in my life so far. I have a rule, that I'll usually see ANY performer at least one time just to say that I have.

My tastes can range from the Monkees to Metallica, from Supertramp to Slayer. I've attend over 950 concerts in my life so far. I have a rule, that I'll usually see ANY performer at least one time just to say that I have. I used to spent much time going through just about every cut-out rack for cassette and CD's in many stores like Border's, Kmart, Best Buy, etc. Half the fun of it is you never know what you might find. I review CD's on this site because I want other potential fans to be aware of many of the underground / little known bands out there, that many are still in existence, in one form or another. I reside in the state of Kansas, one of my all-time favorite movies are 'Planes Trains & Automobiles'. My favorite TV shows of all time are 'Welcome Back,Kotter', 'Soap' and 'Sex In The City'. As for a gift certificate, I'd probably take some time and have fun deciding what I'd get with it.

Originally released in 1971, this was the obscure 'heavy progressive' band's sole record. Tunes that, I personally got the most out of were the ten-minute opening title cut "Witch Burning", the jamming "You Can't Ruin My Life", "Bare Tree" and truly rocking "Drifter". Line-up: Mike Sneed - guitar & vocals, Matt Wilson - bass & vocals, Jim Klahr - keyboards and Steve Towery - drums & vocals. In all honesty, not a bad piece of work - quite good actually I thought. I saw somewhere noted on a blog that 'Witch Burning' is more like a pedestrian progressive wanna be. I don't agree with that at all. Recommended for fans of Uriah Heep, early Atomic Rooster, Epitaph and the Crazy World Of Arthur… Read more

Show took place on October 3, 1973. Until here recently, this is said to be Brainticket's sole tour they ever did. Heard it straight from the source himself - founder Joel Vandroogenbroek when I saw him on the recent U.S. Space Rock Invasion 2011 Tour. On this archive unreleased live lp, you basically get the entire 'Celestial Ocean' album with some improvisation here and there. Sound quality isn't perfect but (definitely) good enough. I mean - it's a real treat to experience (slightly different) live recorded versions of tunes like "Egyptian King", "Jardins", especially "Era Of Technology" (my personal favorite off this 1973 krautrock piece), "Visions" and "The Space Between". Personnel:… Read more

German psychedelic / folk band's sole record on CD reissue, originally released in 1971. Tunes here that I dug the most were "Gedanken" (English translation: Mind), the simply beautiful "Gitarrenstuck" (trans: Guitar Stuck) and a couple of really good epics this title had to offer - the nine-minute "Schmetterling" (translation: Butterfly) and the eight-minute "Nossa Boba". Yet, another over-looked gem that many long-time fans of the krautrock (and / or) psychedelic genre should definitely enjoy. Recommended for fans of EMTIDI, Hoelderlin, Annexus and possibly (don't hold me to it) Eela Craig. Truly, an acquired taste.
