Bio / Background
Transcending old school fusion and new age progressive metal stylings, COSMOSQUAD truly live up to their galactic moniker. Three years after their acclaimed eponymous debut album, this L.A.-based triumvirate is ready to unleash its sophomore release, "Squadrophenia", and make another out-of-this-world statement.
Retaining the multidimensional approach the band developed on their debut album, COSMOSQUAD have successfully managed to explore new musical territory and expand their sonic parameters on "Squadrophenia". Displays of upbeat, funky outbursts give way to dark, hypnotic grooves, spastic madness meets ethereal beauty, and African tribal flavors intersect with melodic flurries to complete a perfectly balanced mosaic of shadow and light.
COSMOSQUAD are that rare three-pronged constellation of stellar musicianship, unique songwriting and forward thinking attitude that allows for great musical things to happen.
↓ more ↓"Squadrophenia" is bound to establish the Kollman / Sparks / Gaalaas alliance as one of the Front-runners of the New Millennium hard fusion movement for years to come.

... in the making of this album, but I think some had their strings stretched. I wonder who chose "In Loving Memory" as the promo track for this album. It's the kind of music you might play at a wedding. The other songs are the kind I might want to play in a divorce court. To make some people think about what they're doing. This isn't dance music. It isn't background music. It isn't soundtrack music. It makes you stay awake, then makes you glad you did. It's melodically complex, moody, and very carefully played. So what track should have been the promo? My vote is for "Funk'n Eh". Or if you want a guide to whether you'd like most of the album, try "Winter in Innisfail". Pardon me while I go off and listen to some more of it ....
