Cos - Postaeolian Train Robbery
SKU
01-MUSEA 4028
Cos were one of the most popular Belgian progressive bands of the early/mid 1970's. They had a very pleasant, breezy jazz/rock sound, somewhat informed by the Canterbury sound, but definitely not slavish ala Supersister (don't worry, I ain't knocking 'da Sister, who I love, but you gotta admit that Present From Nancy sounds like Soft Machine Volume 2.1). Guitar, keyboards, bass, drums, percussion and wonderfully charming vocals from Pascale Son. This release includes never-before released tracks by the precursor band to Cos, Classroom! Typically excellent and thorough Musea reissue from the master tapes.

What a lark. Sometimes in French, most of the time in something else, not really scat, not really nonsense, Pascale Son really shines on this wonderful record. I was wary when ordering, liking the later albums of this band more than the earlier, and Marc Hollander is not on it, but this is a really fine record. I like it better than the Viva Boma, Babel, Swiss Chalet, and Egmont & the ff Boom (Daniel Schell, which I like quite a bit. Jazzy Canterbury, but very French (in a Belgian way). Highly recommended.
