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?

The sleevenotes are, or were, by Ulrich Klatte, who wrote the essential guide to original krautrock releases, The 'Cosmic Price Guide'
