Kosmos

Emerging from Montreal, Canada, Kosmos took shape through semi-weekly gatherings centered on Krautrock. Voivod drummer Michel "Away" Langevin, Tricky Woo keyboardist Alex Crow, Paradise guitarist Jetphil, and Grim Skunk bassist Vincent Peake took part, each already occupied with commitments to their main groups. Once they set out to write material modeled on 1970s acts including Pink Floyd, Nectar, Deep Purple, and Amon Düül II, the resulting mix of "prog-rock-avant-garde-Kraut-post-punk" yielded enough tracks for a complete album. The End Records released that album as the Kosmos CD in 2007.
