RELEASE DATE

Part fantastical historic sonic biopic, part anthropologic journey into the deep roots of Belgium's monstrous cosmic rock sound, this wholly individualistic concept album combines the lead members of the mighty
COS
(
Daniel Schell
and
Pascale Son
) with studio genius
Alain Pierre
(
Ô Sidarta
(FKR 107LP),
Des Morts
(FKR 114LP)) and celebrated Dutch progressive rock singer
Dick Annegarn
, for what many consider to be both the overlooked hiding place of Belgium's deepest psychedelic moment and European prog's lost map to the "Franco-Flemish Boom". Emerging from the wider musical family that counted
Marc Moulin
,
Placebo
, and
Marc Hollander
amongst its creative kin, Daniel Schell's most profound conceptual project ambitiously combines the tale of the heroic historical figure of
Count Egmont
(1522-1568), while simultaneously tracing the evolution of the ud, or oud, ("the grandfather of the guitar") in this multifarious hallucinogenic epic. Featuring key members of other collectable groups such as drummer
Felix Simtaine
from
Solis Lacus
and bass player
Jean-Louis Baudoin
from the mythical
Classroom
(COS predecessor), this best-kept secret vinyl release also harbors the voices of
Dirk Bogaert
(of Belgian hard rockers
Waterloo
) as well as Catalan singer
Ilona Chale
(Marc Hollander/
Aksak Maboul
) before her later tenure as the COS front woman. Initially released in 1978 via Zeuhl school distributors, Free Bird, alongside French pressings of
Don Cherry
,
Jacques Thollot
, and
CAN
, it is plain to understand the niche nature of this maligned "lost COS" LP as it finally blooms from between the cracked branches of European jazz-rock-synth-psych-prog-pop history... and beyond! Edition of 750; black vinyl.
