BRAINSTORM — Last Smile (1974-2001) Two Version | APE + FLAC (Image+.cue), lossless

Brainstorm, a very sophisticated progressive jazz-rock band of the early seventies, quickly landed a recording contract with Intercord’s Krautrock sub-label Spiegelei, where their two LPs "Smile a while" (1972) and "Second smile" (1973) were released together with the 7"-single "You’re the one" / "Das Schwein trügt" (1973). "Last smile" features a so far unreleased live gig, recorded during the band’s final period in spring 1974 and containing two hitherto unknown tracks. Their style was unchanged and their musical mastership evident. The 32-page colour booklet contains a very detailed list of their official releases, including predecessor and offspring bands as well as solo enterprises. Roland Schaeffer, by the way, subsequently joined Guru Guru. Many fans of jazz-rock featuring saxophone, clarinet and flute will love this album. GOD

BRAINSTORM — Bremen 1973 (1973-2002) Two Version | FLAC (image+.tracks+.cue), lossless

Brainstorm from Baden-Baden, well known for their sophisticated progressive jazz-rock, released two demanding LPs on Spiegelei: "Smile a while" (1972) and "Second smile" (1973). A CD of a 1974 live gig, entitled "Last smile", was released very much later. On 23 June 1973, a rainy Saturday, they played an open-air gig in front of Bremen Neustadt Polytechnic, one of their best performances ever. In the series "Jazz live", started in the 1950s, Radio Bremen broadcast this and other Bremen gigs of national and international artists coming from jazz and related genres of music such as fusion. The radio station has kept an exemplary archive of all the master tapes, which is why future CD releases of Bremen gigs performed by artists such as Eiliff, Embryo, Missus Beastly and the Release Music Orchestra are in preparation.
