This Album was one of the absolute favourites at the time it was first released, at least in our city. If you were a real Hippy/Freak you bought this record!

You do not hear any similar music anywhere else (at least I do not know anything similar). I think it is one of the albums which represent the word "psych" literally but it is still melodious and it sounds absolutely great. It has an enormeous drive! The group of this album was an international, experimental mix, consisting of some German, Swiss, Dutchman and Italian. Cosimo Lampis (Italian) was also the drummer with TOAD and Werner Froehlich ( Swiss) played the bass-guitar also with TOAD. At that time TOAD consisted only of three men, after Benjamin had left. But the style of BRAINTICKET is completely different. There is mainly organ/synthesizer. I usually do not like that too much, but on this album it sounds fantastic! And I think I am not alone with this opinion, at least I've never known anybody who didn't like it! There is an advice written on the inside of the record cover: "After listening to this record your friends won't know you anymore" and there is also a warning: "Only listen once a day to this record. Your brain might be destroyed!". Although it is not that bad, I must admit it has got some truth in it...
