Waiting for Brainstorm since Parklife 2009.

Wow thats only three years in the making.

The fact that it's named after one of my childhood icons gives it maximum points in my book.

yess!! finally :)

I remember reading an interview with boys noize where he stated the he likes to test and improve tracks before releasing them. Does anybode remember this interview? I can't seem to find it.

It's just another great release from the two of them. I can't wait to hear Brain Storm in full length on a good system.

Fun fact, rat-fan. 'Summer Holiday' by Kevin the Gerbil was the first record I ever bought. Can't wait to become famous so I can lie through my teeth and say it was Songs in the Key of Life like everyone else.

‘The way we work is we just chuck as many ideas [as possible] at something and see what sticks, so one starting point was a rolling MIDI line which still sounded quite focused amongst all the other bits and pieces (which we soon deleted). We sent the MIDI file to my Roland SH1, plugged the audio out of the synth thru an RAT pedal, and we had the main line…’
