CYCLOPS complete their Mastermind re-release schedule with the album which has long been acknowledged as the American masters of heavy Progressive Rock's early masterpiece: Volume Two ~ Brainstorm. Remixed and remastered from the original master tapes by group leader Bill Berends, who has also added an extra track which was not on the original album. The release also includes a new booklet.

This superb 67 minutes of mainly instrumental pieces showcases the musical talents of the band. From screaming guitar-synths and pounding drums, to haunting melodies and delicate acoustic guitar, the sound owes as much to the romantic symphonies of Mahler as to ELP. This can be heard in the superb rock renditions of well known classical works “William Tell Overture” and “The Ride of the Valkyrie”.
