Hallelujah
A combination of Belgian, Swiss, and English musicians, Brainticket were a fairly muscular band, with tweaked organ and flute courtesy of bandleader Joel Vandroogenbroek. Vocalist Dawn Muir is a theatrical presence, to put it mildly, adding as much heavy breathing as she does narration and singing. This is psychedelic as much as it is anything, and seriously so. After a few mellower tracks, the album opens up into one long vamp split into three parts, with Muir rapping a paranoid freakout over the hammering organ and drums. This is what many people think happened in the Sixties, but didn’t, not that often, at least in recording studios.
