Kosmos is rounded out by guitarist Jetphil (PARADISE), bassist Vincent Peake (GROOVY AARDVARK, GRIM SKUNK) and keyboardist/programmer Alex Crow.

The 12 tracks found on Kosmos offer journeys through cosmic prog psychedelia, a spaceship built for fans of HAWKWIND, AMON DUUL II, ZOMBIE and MONSTER MAGNET.
