On sale mid-April
Head Music
...now with added EROC!
2012 is the 40th anniversary of the launch of the Brain label, so what better time to release a double album of classic seventies kraut rock, motorik rhythms, acid jams and kosmische sounds, including covers of classic tracks by Can, Neu!, Amon Duul and Kraftwerk?
Scheduled for mid-April 2012, we're cramming in 90 minutes of great music for you, with all-exclusive tracks Fruits de Mer artists old and new - including The Bevis Frond, Electric Moon, Vibravoid and Frobisher Neck
