A nice review for The Brain from Andy Probst on some XM radio show:
I'll start with the cast recording of a musical from California. It's a bit of silliness from Kritzerland Records called "The Brain From Planet X." Now on this one, I don't think that all of the true charms of Bruce Kimmel and David Wechter's faux 1950s horror movie all come through outside of performance, but there's a lot to be enjoyed here as a group of aliens try to destroy the perfect nuclear family in the San Fernando Valley. It's all very cheese-y and there's more than a little bit of musical theater spoofery going on in here – a particular favorite is "Saucers in the Sky" – which sounds to me like a grand homage to "Five Black Dragons" from Sondheim's "Pacific Overtures." I imagine you'll find yourself smiling and humming along with this tuneful creation.
