Guest antic Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Brainman - Brainfood http://www.discogs.com/release/139485 I can buy it for like 10EUR (used) but I don't know if it's any good. I can't find any samples or reviews. Any opinions on this one, plaese Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't find any samples or reviews. Any opinions on this one, plaese 417493[/snapback] For what it's worth, I've opened a DJ set with Fluorobrain once. The album is very... different. Some tracks are really cool in the right context, but as a whole the album doesn't quite get to me. If you enjoy early (1996-ish) Sandman stuff it's a must-have. It's NOT standard old-school goa trance, it's way more eclectic and experimental. I would file this under "special music", stuff you never listen to casually but that really hits the spot on those few occasions you really crave its particular flavour. Also, it's a rare old TIP CD so you will have no trouble getting those 10 euro (and more!) back if you decide it's not worthy of being in your collection. So my recommendation is to buy it.

Guest antic Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Oh, and by the way - could you confirm that the booklet is blank inside, because I fear it might be some bootleg / pirated version... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukiro Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Oh, and by the way - could you confirm that the booklet is blank inside, because I fear it might be some bootleg / pirated version... 417519[/snapback] Not right now, as I'm at work. But it sounds plausible, I think it very well might be blank. For instance, Orange compilation doesn't even have a booklet, it's just a single "card". TIP didn't really go fancy with that stuff...

At least, they're consistent in what they're doing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought these from a shop here in Finland when they were released (1997.. both). In the booklets there is no mention about Japan... shouldn't there be something?

Ormion Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 This one has the worst comments in the old reviews database than any cd. But the rating in discogs is ok. Weird, huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to scan that one...! I am curious... This brainman dude was always a mystery to me... He didn't release much (except for on TIP), and there were many different rumours about who he was... The strangest one was that he was a brain doctor in Switzerland or something... Does anyone have any info? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIP didn't really go fancy with that stuff... 417524[/snapback] when your saying booklet... do you mean like several pages? or just an inlay(card folded to two)? the orange comp, copy i have has a booklet(inlay) but the brainman i got is blank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukiro Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 My mistake, I must have been very tired this morning - It's blue compilation that has a single card and not a folded (booklet) one. About the reviews of Brainman; It's very unique and certainly not for everyone. And considering that it came out in 1996 I think it's not hard to see how a lot of people didn't "get it". I know I didn't back then, so I bought something else instead. I bought my copy just a few years ago... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have allways thought when people mention Orange compilation they mean Tip Singles 1 (and so Tip Singles 2 is Silver compilation in my head )... I didn't know Tip really had compilations named like that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qa2pir Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 I think he's just a friend of Hunter, Posford and the rest of the gang... A pal who got to make some tracks I've heard one track on the Yellow (or was it the Blue one?) compilation and it was quite good, different and acidic in a peaceful way.

ukiro Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 I remember a rumour from a while ago that Brainman = Sandman (Izik Levy). 418008[/snapback] I asked on you-know-what-mailinglist-I'm-talking-about if theer was a connection between the two some time back; Way back in 1996 there was talk about they being the same person or some other connection, and I somehow recalled hearing that when I was listening to Brain Food. So did you hear this from my posting or have you too heard it elsewhere? I'm pretty convinced they're not the same (we'd know by now) but there really are some eerie similarities in the music.

PKS Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 I think this can be Brainman: http://forum.isratrance.com/viewtopic.php/...c/76528/forum/8 Just kidding... Anyway, a mystery for sure... Someone should ask the TIP crew who he was/is... I'm not in contact with them, so, anyone..?? Another thing, the Brainman album was really hated by most Goa/psytrancers at the time it was released... It was a big mystery for many why a quality label (at that time) like TIP could release an album like this... But, I guess you are right Ukiro, that it was too weird for most people at that time... There was A LOT of discussion about it I remember... Oh, my gosh! It's allready ten years ago!!! Time goes too fast....

It was a very log time ago (I'm talking years) so it's hard to remember. I also heard that Jean Borelli is not the real name of the guy behind Orion, but then again I may be wrong since it's just a story I heard loooong time ago.

I know I saw it on a flyer for a party here in Stockholm, but I can't find info on that party anywhere on the net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
