Cosmos Factory - A Journey with... Digipak CD (Digipack)

Progressive

Original release 1975 Re-issue 2007

The starting line-up of this unique Japanese progrock band is: Tsutomu Izumi (keyboards, Moog synthesizer, vocals), Hisashi Mizutani (guitar, vocals), Toshkazu Taki (bass, vocals), Kazuo Okamoto ( drums & percussion) and Misao on violin.

They made a serie of albums in the Seventies with every time another sound: the debut album An Old Castle of Transylvania (’73) sounds like early FLOYD/ Vanilla Fudge, the third album Black Hole (75) is more in the vein of complex KING CRIMSON (nerve-racking FRIPPERIAN play), the second LP The journey.. sound rather weird and freaky and their fourth entitled Metal Reflection is, as the title suggests, pure hardrock/metal.
