Heroic Materials

by Cosmograf

supported by

Claude Fortin Un album que j'adore... du bon rock progressif comme j'aime, des passages très doux et d'autres heavy :-)

foxdurer Un autre excellent album de Cosmograf! Beaucoup de chose à aimer sur celui-ci: un concept intéressant et des mélodies puissantes. Parmi les meilleures parutions de 2022. Favorite track: Heroic Materials.

Nickie Harte Kelly Led by multi-instrumentalist Robin Armstrong, Cosmograf is fine neo-prog with strong classical overtones, plus a swing by the 70s. This is a concept release, based around a WWII Spitfire pilot reminiscing on his flights, his battles, his homeland, those he loved there and his regret for how things will never be the same again. Wonderfully cinematic and elegant work. Favorite track: Heroic Materials.

about

William ‘Billy’ May looks back on his life at the age of 99 and realises the world has completely changed since he was a young man put into an impossible scenario, defending his country from the air. He no longer recognises much of the modern world but understands that the human race must live in a different way in the future.

Je peux conseiller Common Ground aux amateurs de rock progressif symphonique, de préférence à ceux qui ont un goût pour les sonorités seventies (mais pas que). C’est solide, maîtrisé, inspiré. (Chroniqué sur https://alias.erdorin.org) Stéphane Gallay

The Second Brightest Star
by Big Big Train

supported by 101 fans who also own “Heroic Materials”

In the wake of buying the Welcome To The Planet I also went for this older "EP" (clocking in on 70 minutes a rather big big EP...) as a final farewell to a very bright bright star that sadly doesn't shine anymore. Carsten Pieper
