Cos Hotel Atlantic

Many years after releasing their first two great albums, the excellent French label Musea is now releasing another Cos album, but in their later career, with this very Spanish-tinged Pasiones. From the Early days, only Schell remains but he is well surrounded by other well-known Belgian musician and Spanish falsetto singer Ilona Chale sometimes sounding like Nina Hagen and Nicolas Fiszman - who played bass on the only album this writer have produced, so far - providing a very African touch. Musically, we are very much in the 80's, not that far away from some of the better new wave bands but also very close of King Crimson of the moment. As so often the case with Musea releases, the disc comes with many bonus tracks, including a short concert in France.
