Биография
“Brainbox” был сформирован в Амстердаме в 1969 году Kaz Lux (Kazimierz Lux), певцом польского происхождения, и гитаристом Jan Akkerman (прежде игравшем в “The Hunters”), который пригласил своего друга - ударника Pierre van der Linden. После выпуска первого альбома (“Brainbox”) Akkerman оставляет группу, чтобы присоединиться к другой легендарной голландской команде “Focus”, в 1971 за ним последовал Pierre van der Linden. Их заменили - Rudi de Queljoe , John Schuursma и Frans Smit. Этот состав разваливается уже в 1971 году из-за проблем с их менеджером. Тот создаёт новый “Brainbox”. Оригинальный саунд теряется, и Kaz Lux больше не поёт. В конечном счёте команда разваливается в конце 1972 года. Kaz Lux, один из лучших вокалистов Голландии, начинает сольную карьеру, иногда объединяясь с Jan Akkerman. После того, как Akkerman покидает “Focus”, он тоже уходит в сольную карьеру, записывая альбомы в различных музыкальных стилях.
Послушал все 3 студийника - и как-то не впечатлила меня эта группа. Редкими местами более-менее интересные у них инструменталы; но в целом как-то сыро и вторично. Про такие банды напрашивается лишь одно определение - "второй эшелон".
