    The Brain Box: Cerebral Sounds Of Brain Records 1972-1979Various

    Brain Records

    This comprehensive 8 x CD box covers the glorious years of the famous BRAIN Records label, and allows an unique insight into the progressive releases that occurred during that era. Germany - the cradle of KRAUT ROCK - was a pulsating centre for new sounds and risk taking compositions. This is a marvellous tribute to that golden era with acts such as Guru Guru, Grobschnitt, Klaus Schulze and many more. This boxset is limited and contains 8 CDs (83 tracks!), a 74-pages hardcover book and a green tote bag (that can fit vinyl!) with a Brain logo imprint, all housed in a lift off lid box with green linen wrap (size 25cm x 25cm).
