Review
After two exceptional albums, I think it's safe to say that Belgium's Creature with the Atom Brain are one of the best rock bands out there right now. There are times when I m tempted to go ahead and say they're the best. --WJHU radio

Any band that namechecks forgotten '60s psych heroes The 13th Floor Elevators is alright by us. But Creature With The Atom Brain go one better by managing to sound like the first Queens of the Stone Age album; that is, a heady, psychotropic descent into the underworld of drone — this is fantastic. --NME magazine

The accumulation of fuzzy riffs, cosmic synths and f***ed bass lines is a rare breed of dirt-under-the-fingernails Belgian rock that has a distinctive and disheveling quality. Pure, menacing filth. --Terrorizer

Product Description
Creature with the Atom Brain was founded as a one-man home recording project by Belgian Aldo Struyf in between stints touring with Mark Lanegan and his own band, the Millionaires. Now morphed into a full time project, Creature's sophomore album, Transylvania, it is actually their debut North American release. Transylvania finds the band going in a more melodic and reflective direction while simultaneously maintaining their musical core as defined by references to psychedelia, '70s prog, Hawkwind, 13th Floor Elevators, July and Erkin Koray, as paired with African rhythms; a striking stand-out from most contemporary independent music.

Bringing an additional rock pedigree along with credibility is Chris Goss' mix of Transylvania; the man in the producer and engineer's seat for bands like Masters Of Reality, Kyuss and Queens of the Stone Age. And while the album credits list additional collaborations with Mark Lanegan and Mr. Chris Goss, Transylvania stands on its own merits as well.

I took a trip to Discorama's discount the other day, did a seach for Hawkwind - and while no hawkwind came up, this did. And at the price, I think it was $6.99, and a quick review of reviews, I said, oh heck why not.
This is a great disc.
Yet another example of how there is still great music being made - and I am in the 45 year old crowd that refuses to buy into the "they don't make em like they used to" (yet tip the hat to the fact that the music industry is completely clueless at so many levels, including how to run a business - ironic, since they moved all the suits in).

While I miss the B&M experience of trolling the racks for those finds; I do find I am able to do very similar as Linda has mentioned on line, assuming they have a decent search capacity...

I digress, this is very cool album...

Funny, their last tour, in support of Alice In Chains, did not bring them to IL, however they did hit Boise, ID. I find that awesome on so many levels (one being I am looking to move out that way in the next few years, leaving Chicago behind).
