Album Notes

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. "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.
Jeff Kollman-guitar, Barry Sparks-bass, shane gaalaas-drums

Squadrophenia

Jeff Kollman and company put down some big sound tracks with blazzing guitar riffs and very interesting compositions. I highly recommend this CD and all Cosmosquad CD's for anyone who loves great guitar jazz fusion.

Greatest Group of All Time
author: Christopher B. Feener
                            
And I mean that with no exaggeration. This group blows me out of the water every time I listen; so much musicianship, technical ability, feel.. they pretty much have it all. It's amazing how little their known!

How Do You Follow Up A Great Disc??
author: Chewy
                            
By putting out another great disc!! And just like their other discs, this one is great from start to finish. The musicianship is top notch & the songs are well structered. But unlike other instrumental based bands, the length of the songs are short & straight to the point. I highly recommend this disc to ANY fan of music.
