Anyone already got it? My friend’s boyfriend brought it to me from Sweden.
It’s so cool! Not only the “boy-CD” with all their hits and the two new tracks, but the “girl-DVD”, which contains 8 videos, 8 demos and discography.
I never seen any of Brainpool’s videos and it was real fun to see them performing. Their videos are not exactly the best I’ve seen, but they’re funny. I like “Every day”, “Girl lost”, “Sister c’mon”, “Tomorrow”, “My sweet Lord [She’s so fine]”... Well, all of them! hehehe
About the two new songs I can say they are really, really nice! Both of them written to Belinda Carlisle, but ended up in the drawer. Very strong choruses!! “Different life” and “Let me win” with 60’s powerpop influences make the album shine even brighter!
On the DVD there are some previously unreleased demos of both known and unknown songs. The unknown ones are very cool! My favourite so far is “Stupid girls”!
Well, Brainpool’s discography is a lesson to any band that wants to play (power)pop! Intelligent lyrics, nice arrengements and, above all, good music! Mr Gessle, who wrote about them saying they were the best swedish pop group of the 90’s (wich I agree with) should do his home work and tune up his guitar!
Brainpool är bäst and I’m a big fan. Hope Jan Kask re-unite. We can always dream ;)

“Stupid Girls” is superb – it’s worth buying the 2CDs set just for that track alone! It’s a really well packaged greatest hits album with lots of interesting goodies. I thoroughly recommend it. All the best, Rich ;-)
