        ALBUM OF THE MONTH - OCTOBER 2000
BRAINTICKET                             ALCHEMIC UNIVERSE
http://www.cranium.co.nz/catalog/A_1643.htm#2731
 Among the important pioneers of early psychedelic and spaced out cosmic
releases (Cottonwoodhill; Psychonaut & Celestial Ocean) the band called
Brainticket is actually the brainchild of Joel Vandroogenbroeck of
Switzerland with other musicians taking part on different releases. For
Alchemic Universe Joel has written all the music with text written by Lance
Bunda and the cosmic voice of Carole Muriel (who also appeared on Celestial
Ocean). Alchemic Universe is in the style of the groundbreaking Celestial
Ocean release with lots of cosmic spacy music and a few added samples from
NASA. Joel currently spends his time living in Mexico (where this album was
recorded) and Switzerland. Brainticket have released another timeless
classic that will take your mind to new worlds. Take a listen to the 3 sound
samples we have made available.
