Cosmograf - Heroic Materials (2022)

The ninth album from this band from Great Britain.

Cosmograf is now Robin Armstrong on bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.

Two guests added drums and piano.

I thought I had reviewed the previous album Rattlapante last year but it turn out that I have not done so. I normally get around to review all Robin's albums as he is one of the most interesting voices in today's music scene.

Cosmograf has always been a crossover act somewhere between singer/songwriter, symphonic prog and neo-prog. 

Those three genres has been pretty much combined on this album. This three and a quarters hour long album.

Robin's vocals is very strong and good. It is more in the forefront this time.

The music is pretty somber, bold and longing. The matter in hand is a bit sad and melancholic.

Hence, this is a melancholic album with a lot of good pieces of music and songs.

This is perhaps not his best album. It is still a good album and one that enrichen the life of the listener.
