The Brain

about

The Brain can refer to a British, psychedelic group (including future members of King Crimson), an electronic studio project, or a radio show. 1. The Brain is a musical collaboration between Paul Fox and Tommy Grenas, who first played music together when Paul joined the band Pressurehed in the early 1990's. In 1993, Paul and Tommy began recordings of improvised electronic performances, at first under the name "Mandra Oleka". They later changed the name of the group to "The Brain", partly out of reverence for a German record label that had released many of the records they had been listening to, but mainly due to the fact that the sounds they were creating came from deep within the mysterious regions of the mind, taking the listener on an extended, electro-psychedelic brain-trip. Aside from the creations of Tommy and Paul, many other musical friends have contributed along the way. After three years of amassing a library of strange and beautiful recordings, including the release of their early demo collection on cassette, Lo Fi, and their debut CD, Access and Amplify, the duo were presented with an opportunity to help put together the first United States tour of the German electronic music pioneers, Cluster. Already seasoned touring musicians, Tommy and Paul were able to assist in the effort, along with Russ Curry of Curious Music. As if the idea of traveling with Cluster wasn't exciting enough, guitar master Bond Bergland (Factrix/The Saqqara Dogs) was introduced to The Br
