available here. It's a 
bit dark and small but the sound is pretty good and you can get an idea 
of how the Boss roasts the chestnuts

BRAIN: 10th Anniversary? or another first?
The Brain Surgeons have released a retrospective of their recorded career.
This statement might be true, but it is not quite accurate.  Why?
Few groups can has the boasting rights to sounding "as good, if not 
better" than they their initial formation with consistency. Look at the 
Yardbirds, 'fer instance - their arc across audio heaven was small and 
all over the place, crashing with finality when Mr. Page joined the 
group.  In the Brain Surgeon's case there have been expansions and 
contractions which would have crippled others faced with similar 
circumstances.
There's no 'death knell' for a functioning recording unit in this 
digital showcase.  Indeed, and quite shrewdly planned, the initial three 
song salvo of tunes recorded with Ross the Boss   revisits and kicks the 
past's ass.   Of particular note is how well his approach fits into 
now hallowed Oyster Cult songs, and how drastically it changes them. 
"Vera Gemini" feels like a song that needs to be played live, while it 
used to "not quite" get there.  This sense of transformation, if not 
moreso, can be felt for "Lady of the Harbor," a dame who now enters a 
third and more fully 'self aware' incarnation of NYC streetitude.
Bookending the project is the tune from the band's infancy, so to speak.
David Roter's superbly heavy, witty, and wise contribution about lookin'
like John Denver is much like a blueprint for the founding of this group 
as it exists now.   But more than that its flurry of styles finds 
settled, more concise explorations of its musical and lyrical themes in 
the rest of the 'best of', too. Selection wise, I admit I'm suprised -- 
Victory Boulevard,for example,  would not have struck me as a choice. 
However, given that this album is not a 'best of' in a strict sense, but 
more a State of the Union, the tune does slide nicely into the 
cumulative groove.
And groove it does.  I would not label this band "traditional"; like the
spirit of rock and roll that blew apart dance floors and inhibitions in 
the days of yore, this assemblage of musicianship, personalities and
committment does not sit still long enough for any dust to settle.   So, 
if you want to experience a thunderstorm for the first time, play this 
album.
If you want to remember what it was like the first time, play this album.
Hear and you shall receive.

Low there do I see my father.
Low there do I see my mother and my sisters and my brothers.

Non sarebbe male. Anche se conto di andarli a vedere in qualche data in 
UK. Mi costa meno volare su Londra con Ryanair che andare in treno a 
Milano 8(

Ed è anche il solito tamarrone!
Cavoli, in questa versione il riff di Cities On Flame sembra un incrocio
fra The Wizard dei Sabbath e Bloodsucker dei Purple :-D
