Cosmosquad biography
COSMOSQUAD is an instrumental progressive rock/metal band from United States that formed in 1997 by Jeff Kollman (guitars), Shane Gaalaas (drums) and Barry Sparks (bass) after some serious jams at a rehearsal studio in Phoenix, Arizona.

Soon after, the band moved to a studio in L.A. to start recording what would become their first release. The self-titled album was released on Kollman's own Marmaduke Records in 1997. In 1998 the band regrouped to record Kollman's solo album "Shedding Skin". The album was considered kind of a continuation of COSMOSQUAD's self titled debut that the band often plays songs of "Shedding Skin" on their live sets.

In 2000 as the band was beginning to get ready to tour, Barry leaves the band due to commitments with other bands during the year. Christopher Maloney which Jeff and Shane already knew would play with them during the year through out L.A.

Just after the tour, in 2001 Christopher handed the bass chair back to Barry as the band was getting ready to work on their next record. For the new album the band invited different guests to expand and develop their sound. "Squadrophenia" was released and expanded the bands fan base not only in the U.S. and Japan, but in Europe too.

In 2002 the band released their "Live at the Baked Potato" a compilation of recordings of the band playing throughout L.A. Once again Barry found himself committed to other artists so Christopher took over bass duties once again for their tour.

In 2007 Barry committed himself entirely to his solo work, eventually leading to his permanent departure from the band yet the remainder members of the band continued to write material as a duo. Jeff would have to take bass duties for their next although they brought their three unofficial" bass players Christopher, Paul and Kevin to record in several songs.

In 2007 the band released "Acid Test". Eventually the band added Christopher as bass player only this time he would be Barry's permanent replacement. After several live performances the band released their first live DVD entitled "Lights, Camera, Squad!"

tower пишет:Вернулся поблагодарить еще раз. Прекрасный инструментал, Fusion проявляется явно, металл присутствует в минимальном количестве и довольно органично вписан в тему. Несколько напомнило LTE, местами Niacin проскакивает. Понравилось, опять вот на прослушивание поставил.
Так что благодарю, одновременно обращаясь с просьбой : нельзя ли реанимировать ссылки на Acid Test - 2007, на CD? А то не подают они признаки жизни...

Fusion_Brasil пишет:I have Squadrophenia to share if you want.

Just drop me a line, OK?

Another brilliant all-instrumental release from the monster trio known as Cosmosquad is entitled Squadrophenia. Retaining the multi-dimensional approach the band developed on their debut album, Cosmosquad have successfully managed to explore new musical territory and expand their sonic parameters on Squadrophenia. Displays of upbeat, funky outbursts give way to dark, hypnotic grooves, spastic madness meets ethereal beauty, and African tribal flavors intersect with melodic flurries to complete a perfectly balanced mosaic of shadow and light. Cosmosquad are that rare three-pronged constellation of stellar musicianship, unique songwriting and forward thinking attitude that allows for great musical things to happen. Squadrophenia is bound to establish the Jeff Kollman / Barry Sparks / Shane Gaalaas alliance as one of the frontrunners of the New Millennium hard fusion movement for years to come.
