 1ST official vinyl edition of LIFT – CAVERNS OF YOUR BRAIN

We continue our deep-dive into US Prog Classics with LIFT’s one-time wonder Caverns Of Your Brain. Previously released on vinyl as a bootleg, this 1977 4-track sonic labyrinth is packed with the quintessential ingredients of an instant classic. A never-come-down, fast-paced haven of complexity, with abundant mellotron/moog doses and inventive rhythmic shifts that evoke a eureka moment on every corner. This is the first official vinyl edition, featuring new and band approved cover artworks, bonus tracks, including the previously unreleased 26-minutes long suite Inception, available in 3 numbered vinyl colors, black (100 COPIES), gold (200 COPIES) and splatter (200 COPIES).

File nearby : Mirthrandir, Cathedral, Lift, Genesis, ELP Easter Island's self-titled 1979 masterpiece rightfully stands in the midst of the top 10 US Prog Classics.

Picture Rennaissance in an interminable jam with MIA and Catharsis with Bacamarte and you might start to get a feel for this one-of-a-kind artefact. This is the fir...
