” Before I listened to Airbag,
I saw a description of their music as being “Late-Night Pink Floyd” – and their sophomore effort fits that description perfectly. Absolutely magnificent music!
(Geoffrey Simmons | bandcamp)
” A worthy addition
to Cosmograf’s ever evolving catalogue. Keep the albums coming Robin – they never disappoint.
(Bronwen Richards | bandcamp)
“Excellent!
If the album cover is indicative of what they are picturing or looking at while jamming, then I would say they perfectly translated it to sound and captured that Floyd spirit in ways few could.
(Pete Faden | bandcamp)
“Absolutely groundbreaking album.
Heavy, groovy, deep, skillful. This band truly is exceptional.
(ScrawlingNinja | bandcamp)
“Fantastic psychedelic rock from Iceland.
There are a lot of references to Pink Floyd in the reviews, and I suppose I get that, but this is something its own. Veering into hard jazz and unabashed prog rock often enough, there is yet a modern sensibility which grounds the music, avoiding noodly or dated territory more than it does not.
Seriously good stuff.
PS The hammond organ is off the hook.

“Oh man…
and this year is still so young…
Forrest Fang’s music was already among my favorite ambient anyway (and what a name.. what can go wrong if your name is Forrest Fang?!!), with this album he shoots another masterpiece into the endless universe…
Forrest is a multi-talented musician and creates arts of sound and nothing less…
This album just has it ALL… from deserted flows of space-ambient, to ‘Bruno Sanfilippo-ish’ piano-melodies, the always present, and stunning drones with beautiful Eastern instruments on top, gongs and singing-bowl sounds, it’s just too much to mention here…
I urge you to take this dive into the soundworld of this maestro!!! And if you’re there you’ll want to grab any work he has ever created I’m sure!
Meanwhile this is one for my yearlist of 2019… Thanks Forrest!!

” Steve Rothery
is one of the “good guys” of prog. I appreciate it very much that his music doesn’t sound like “Marillion” at all, although he’s a founding membef of the band. He’s a brilliant guitar player, but fortunately doesn’t misuse his skills for mere egomaniacal presentations. The keyboards on this album are played by another excellent musician and composer in his own right – Riccardo Romano

” All the work of Freedom To Glide has led to this date 11.11.2018, 100 years since the guns fell silent and seeds of peace and hope were tentatively sewn. The following decades tell a different story of course but we celebrate that hope and remember the fallen.
Lest we forget…

” CBL are masters
at creating earthy, organic soundscapes that also have a spacey, otherworldly feel to them.
Hydroponic Garden and World of Sleepers are two of my go to albums when I need a good chill so it’s great to have another album from the same veins.(Dustfan | bandcamp)

” When Age has Done Its Duty’
Vinyl Edition released in November 2018, features a bonus track, ‘WAHDID Electronic Remix’.
This is something Robin wanted to experiment with for a while, taking a traditionally formed progressive track and making it shorter, more accessible and more modern sounding. There are quite a few changes but the key ingredients are electronic percussion, the pounding synth bass replacing the traditional 4 string and more direct, processed vocals. Steve Thorne’s performance takes on a new dimension and Robin wrote and played a new guitar solo to fit the new style.
” An electrifying stratosphere
of vibrant realms and enchanting tonalities evolves with every breath of Martin Nonstatic’s hand-crafted synthscapes. Gently progressing into a dubby waterfall of mind-massaging oscillations, Ligand is an ambient downpour of dramatic euphoria.
Dark, yet soulful minimalism is engraved within the atmospheric frequencies that paint its melancholy walls, a downtempo outcry of distant, mechanical pads and dystopian melodies crawling against an auditory horizon. The experience is an emotional voyage ; it takes us on a captivating journey into a faraway dimension without ever having to leave earth. It feels like a second home, and we invite you through its welcoming doors to explore a brand new world.
This release of the Ligand Remixes by Martin Nonstatic is an immersive puzzle – complex and distractive – shaped by various talented artists : Erot (Denmark), Floating Machine (Portugal), Roel Funcken (Netherlands), Scann-Tec (Russia), Miktek (Greece), AES Dana (France) and Martin himself (Austria).
” Songs craftily composed
by Justin Greaves… again.
Song titles and concept lunacy come from Greaves too…
Apart from “Nebulas”… that was Belinda Kordic.
” This compilation
is a nice selection of top quality immersive ambient chill tracks
(Hugo Andril Trindade | bandcamp)
” It’s getting to the point
where it’s almost impossible to pigeonhole an artist into any one category—
and that can’t be anything but a good thing. Sure, some people like to think of the artists they love as jazz, rock or classical musicians, but the truth is that, more and more, musicians simply want to be thought of as people who play music.
” It’s not a new album,
but…
a huge collection of music Dmitriy made for various projects, games, and applications.
6 last tracks are hidden as probably
it’s too cheesy:D30 tracks plus hidden 6 bonus tracks.

” R.I.P. Freddie
Docu-drama aired on Channel 5 UK, November 20th 2016, to tribute Freddie Mercury on the 25th anniversary of his passing.
Full lenght video.
” The background
of this concept album – the myth of the lonesome cosmonaut forgotten in outer space – is not historically correct.
First of all, Sergey Krikalyov never was alone on the Mir. When Soyuz TM-13 left the space station, its commander Aleksandr Volkov stayed with him. Moreover, both of them weren’t forgotten there, but agreed to stay in the wake of some – in retrospect maybe silly – political decisions made by the disintegrating USSR. Correct is that Krikalyov was living on the Mir almost six months longer than initially planned – 311 days in total.
Nevermind, this 51-minute metaphor about loneliness in a far-away artificial refuge beyond all civilization is a faithful retro-style opus in the vein of 70’s space rock, as created then by “Nektar”, “Eloy”, “Grobschnitt”, and the likes.(Sven B. Schreiber | bandcamp)
” Tasty, swampy tunes.
Offbeat enough to keep you engaged with repeated listens.
Well done.
” Great Album!
Moves along very nicely.
High and light.
Tuneful and interesting.
” Transcendant…
this voice makes all the cells shiver… together with all those amazing musicians take you into an unknown dimension of the soul…
incredible experience !
wow !!!
