BRAIN: A call to all Brain Surgeons fans/ Review

I hope we can have some impact on the publications.  Some exposure
for the BS' would be nice.

Re:  My impression of BS', so far.

I got the COC package. (trep , epo, COC)

I have a few favorites from ea. album.  LIke "If You Come Close" from
Trep best.  Also like  Hansel N Gretal,Everythign is Blue, Mad Dude, I play
the Drums, and the guitar work of "1,000 guitars".   COF from COC tape
was a nice surprise, a real collector item.

I think Al has lots of range and NRG.  (Dont look to have aged too much from
the pix)  I like when Al gives lead vocals and Deb & rest provide the
background harmonies.   Not vice versa.

Deb's vox reminds me of Johnette Napolitano's (Concrete Blonde).  I
think Deb has much more than a screamer rock vox.  She shows flashes
of it here and there.  Al has definitely taken a turn from the BOC work
he'd done.  I rather hoped BS would be closer to the BOC style of
"Death Valley Nights",  though, deep down I knew that wasn't gonna happen.
There's not much similarity IMO.

The production of the CD's was first class.  Much more than I expected.
I thought being a home spun product it'd be somehow less well done.
