More on Brain Records
Description from Wikipedia:
Brain Records was a Hamburg based record label prominent in the 1970s releasing several important Krautrock records by bands such as Neu!, Cluster and Guru Guru. Many of its more prominent records are currently being reissued on CD by Repertoire Records.
In the middle of 1971, Rolf Ulrich Kaiser’s management style at Ohr Records caused two of his A&R men, Bruno Wendel and Gunter Korber, to leave Ohr and set up their own record company, which they called Brain. Wendel & Korber brought Guru Guru with them from Ohr, and immediately signed Cluster, who had recorded one lp for Philips; they soon recorded and released Cluster II.
Brain was rapidly a success throughout West Germany and much of western Europe, although had little presence in the US. Signings throughout the seventies and into the eighties included Neu!, Cluster, Harmonia, Klaus Schulze, Edgar Froese, Guru Guru, Grobschnitt, Novalis, Jane, Birth Control, Embryo, Popol Vuh, Curly Curve, Scorpions, Electric Sun and many more.
A later reissue series called Rock On Brain saw many early Brain recordings reissued, although mostly with entirely different sleeves and even album titles. Brain also reissued a number of recordings licensed to their parent company Metronome, such as Amon Düül’s first album Psychedelic Underground. Many came out on the M2001 label which is closely linked to Brain.
Some Brain releases later proved highly influential. Brain 1004 was Neu!’s eponymous debut Neu!; Brain 1062 was Neu! 75, which undoubtedly contributed to the sound of punk rock.
