Offering spaced-out acidity rock and roll from North from the Arctic Group, Sweden’s Spacious Brain initially shaped as an electric duo in 1991, launching a melody on not a lot of Swedish compilation before blossoming right into a full-band. Exiting was Anders Sundbom, but key pad participant Jens Unosson added guitarists Henrik Oja and Thomas Brännström towards the fold aswell as percussionist David Johansson. Their debut full-length, Cosmic Thoughts at Play, premiered for the Swedish label Garageland in 1993. Mainly instrumental, Cosmic Thoughts featured four prolonged tracks (the ultimate monitor sub-divided into four motions of its) — theoretically like the prog-bloat of such rings as Yes or ELP, however in practice sounding even more consistent with Saucer Filled with Secrets-era Red Floyd, early Hawkwind, and such Krautrock rings as Amon Duul II and Ash Ra Temple. The band’s sophomore recording, Organic Mind Remedy, followed a yr down the road Garageland and trapped to quite similar template as its forerunner, but with somewhat even more vocals (sung in British) and a wider instrumental palette. The U.S.-just, vinyl-only release, Sleepy Eyes and Butterflies, premiered about Gates of Dawn in 1995. A dual LP compilation of types, Sleepy Eyes, combined two songs using their debut with three fresh paths. With 1996’s Cruising the Seagoat, Spacious Brain came back to Garageland information. The album noticed the music group move in a far more psych-folk path, utilizing acoustic tools and employing even more concise song constructions. Around this period, Unosson shaped Holy River Family members Music group with guitarist Arne Jonasson and flautist/percussionist Mathias Barder like a offshoot music group. But Holy River ultimately became Unosson’s priority after some Spacious Brain members shifted to different towns. Meanwhile, however, Large Mind continuing to record and launch material.

Mind of the Sibling, released in 1999 on Delerium information, saw the music group transfer to an aggressive, large psych place.
