What the critics are saying:
"Kosmos is a unique blend of 70s nostalgia coupled with a crazy alien drummer counting off 21st century beats." - ASSOCIATED PRESS
"VOIVOD drummer Michel Langevin takes you "away" to distant planets filled with hazy hallucinogens
and retro-groove - a sizzling, sensory salute to an era of mind-bending creation." - BW&BK
"Diverse, cool instrumental jazz fusion set against the backdrop of Romero's Dawn of the Dead. Good stuff!" - METAL MANIACS
"Kosmos are intent on slipping the surly bonds of Earth, fuelled by insatiable enthusiasm for Can and Kraftwerk to create this concise cluster of Euro-prog explorations mixed with unexpected detours into heavy rock raveups and fuzz punk." - UNRESTRAINED!
"...swirling stew of psych, prog...If Ash Ra Tempel, Hawkwind, and Neu! mean anything to you, this album is a must-have." - INVISIBLE ORANGES

| I'm on the The End email list, but we never get any of their promos. Regardless, Winds is an amazing band. I really liked what I have heard from Kosmos so far. Reminded me a little of Alchemist, meets 70's prog. Definitely looking forward to checking out these albums. Overall, I think The End is really vital in the expansion of experimentation within the metal genre.
