Every
little fan of our music knows BOSTON. All the hardcore AOR listeners
also know ORION THE HUNTER. These two bands have something in common and
that is Fran Cosmo and his passionate vocals!
After
the demise of ORION THE HUNTER and prior to his involvement with BOSTON,
Fran had another project primed and geared – COSMO!
Now
we’re finally able to hear what the fuzz was all about on this album
called “Alien”.
Alien
– Also a good place to start in describing the style. There’s no
doubt that COSMO wanted to create something new and “alien” to
standards.
It
sounds like they’ve taken up the old ideas and forged these together
with a pretty modern sounding kind of Hard Rock.
Imagine
a harder version of BOSTON with hints to those classic melody lines and
then imagine a very atmospherical musical universe.
As
you might have guessed, I’d expected a true AOR-album which this is
not! It is enjoyable however, but hardly anything that’ll go down in
history.
Modern
Hard Rock fans would probably find this really interesting. To me it’s
just too alien.
