I've been looking around the music blogs for a while now and I don't remember seeing Brainticket available anywhere so I figured I'd oblige and provide what I've got of this singularly unique psychedelic outfit. Cottonwood Hill (sometimes referred to as Brainticket as if it were a self titled album although as you can see above the title clearly appears on all the cover art I've seen) from 1972 is the groups debut LP and is hailed as a masterpiece of psychedelic music. This album (especially the side-long piece) is just totally crazed absolutely insane music. Driven mostly by the skilled organ of multi-instrumentalist and band leader Joel Vandroogenbroeck the sound is chaotic yet full of amazing nuances that compel the listener to stay engaged. This is not my favorite LP by the group I think that would be the follow-up to Cottonwood Hill, 1972's Psychonaut (which will be available here soon) dialed down the psychedelic madness quite a bit and focused more on song structure and less on mind melting. At any rate Cottonwood Hill is without a doubt a psychedelic gem, it's abrasive, wild, at times beautiful and of course quite "trippy". If you're a fan of hard/psychedelic rock, Krautrock, or the wilder more experimental side of progressive music, Brainticket will be a revelation.
