    Smile A While (1972). Brainstorm's debut offers an odd twist on jazz-rock, throwing in bits of Canterbury and Frank Zappa, as well as the Dutch band Supersister. The record starts off with the explosive energy of the instrumental "Das Schwein Trugt," a fast piece of complex prog-jazz. "Zwick Zwick" follows, beginning at an only slightly slower pace, with some wild flutes and clarinets over a choppy rhythm, and then halfway through the guitar, bass, and organ rip into the mix to add a furious energy to the piece. Though the album is mostly instrumental, a couple tracks offer quirky song structures, the very short "Watch Time Flow By" and a couple short sections in the long title track, while "Snakeskin Tango" has someone moaning in anguish and the middle section of "Bosco Biati Weiss Alles" contains strange wordless vocal drones. Through it all, Brainstorm has crafted top-notch music that combines the manic energy and flippancy of rock with the loose fluidity and chops of jazz, with dynamic arrangements, a sense of humor, and excellent musicianship.

    Second Smile (1973). Brainstorm's second work, a definite improvement on their first effort. Masterly played progressive jazz rock with flute, sax… Originally released by Spiegelei in 1973. The music on both Brainstorm albums was a highly inventive blend of songs and instrumentals, with a touch of Zappa, Canterbury inspired certainly, akin to Caravan, Hatfield & The North, Soft Machine, etc., but also with a style all of their own. Highlighted by quality musianship, notably a dizzying array of winds and keyboards, with complexly arranged instrumentals and like the Dutch band Supersister, a penchant for eccentric tongue-in-cheek humor. Brainstorm lived up to their name, and both albums are classics of the genre.

    Last Smile [Recorded 1974] (2001). Last Smile catches Brainstorm live in mid-1974, shortly before the group broke up. Since this was recorded for West German radio, the sound quality is excellent. Though the version of "Das Scwein Trugt," a track from their first album, is not quite as explosive as the studio version, the tracks from Second Smile, "Marilyn Monroe" and "There Was a Time," are drastically reworked. "Marilyn Monroe" has been trimmed of some of its more radical sections, while the Leon Thomas piece "There Was a Time" has been stretched out into a wild 12-and-a-half-minute opus of throbbing jazz-funk with bits of dissonant free jazz thrown in, and as good as the version on Second Smile was, this one has more power. The pair of new songs that round out the disc, "Signed" and "Stars on the Stage," are quite good too, maybe not as weird or as varied as the eccentric material on the first record, with abrupt changes like the songs on the second. Both tracks contain long instrumental passages with plenty of blistering solos for flute, sax, clarinet, and guitar over the loose but lively rhythms, as well as quirky vocals.

    Bremen 1973 (2002). This CD features a Brainstorm live gig from June 23, 1973, played open-air on a rainy Saturday outside the machine shed of the Bremen College of Technology, and broadcast live by Radio Bremen in the "Jazz live" radio show. The quality of the already successful gig was further enhanced by the band's enthusiasm and composure, as well as their extraordinary musical skills.
