Description/Reviews
Stylistically, Brain manages to straddle an exciting path decorated with signposts to bands such as, National Health, Gong, and King Crimson. The path is also subtly coloured, by a wide plethora of other influences. These include for good measure, rock, reggae, space rock, bossa nova, dub, ska, math rock, psychedelia and hints of various forms of dance music.

Description/Reviews
The wide range of styles on offer on Wrong Meeting highlights the band's dazzling creativity and provides a memorable and zesty soundscape for the listener to experience.
If you like albums that are easily accessible and embed in your mind after a few listens, then the Wrong Meeting is probably not for you. This is an album that is durable and progressive in every sense of the word. It has countless levels to explore and numerous secrets to disclose. In Wrong Meeting, Lapis Lazuli has continued to develop their unique style, but have pushed the boundaries even further. The album is not easily categorised, and the combination of so many influences and genre's blurs any labels that might be given to the band.
