The tale of Brainticket is really the tale of the Belgian keyboardist Joel Vandroogenbroeck, the one fixed point in a band that reinvented itself with nearly every record.

A more recent vinyl reissue on Lilith, the imprint that has returned a great deal of vintage psychedelia to the racks. For anyone who would rather spin Psychonaut than guard an original.
