5 stars COMA ROSSI was formed in 2014, this group comes from India, where he gave birth to this album, mixing atmospheric environments, percussive grooves, psychedelic sounds, sometimes hard riffs, all sprinkled with a typical emotional voice describing feelings loss, grief and the effect of time on relationships, fortunately magnified by an air pocket full of hope. I waited to chronicle with the release of their album in CD format to amplify a major production in 2019, the digital version is available since December 20, 2018. Their music, like many current groups, is a conglomeration of various musical trends, digging for insiders in the universe psychedelic, electro and indie: I personally have found the PORCUPINE TREE, of Oceansize, the MOGWAI planing period, the tHE GATHERING, the GAZPACHO for this atmosphere planing and staggering a bit of NEW ORDER yes, just for some well-metallic synths, a hint of KING CRIMSON for some guitar riffs and of course the ANATHEMA and PINK FLOYD their period of more symphonic. Again, I must say that here the boys COMA ROSSI have the guts to give out an album with a singular sound, clean, with only reminiscences of the major groups mentioned above! For the uninitiated, "Mirage" opens the show with a crescendo structure in two stages. It is hovering with waves intro, it gets nervous guitar a little OSI is also up plaintive voice of Tom Borah aside, it is already enjoyable. "Transmission" share a rhythmic tempo synth and vocals, quickly leading to the sound COMA ROSSI, a spleenante guitar, throbbing, hot recalling SOUP or S. WILSON with some radio voice to PINK FLOYD. "Jomolungma is far away" slower, heavier, outgoing air guitar of "Red" and a western movie, some ANATHEMA for the atmosphere and an instrumental explosion in two stages with a guitar this out stoner again Monkey3, bass, who gets to the stage with a fluid synth we are faced heavy there! Already half of the album and "Dream" has a rest with a beautiful intro to THE GATHERING with bombs infra-sounds and almost crystalline guitar here, then his throbbing sets off in fine style (listen!) but a repetition of air tarnishes somewhat the atmosphere created (9 minutes enough in my opinion). "Stillborn" gives this fast plumb fleeting printing with a heavier title, almost metal, guitars and synths that relate to each other and a voice to the sensual B. Ferry, the piano notes making yet evolve all at halfway before a flood and a plaintive sound end, meditative there. "Turn Back Time" from here on an alliance LUNATIC SOUL, ANATHEMA and RIVERSIDE: it is soft, relaxing; beautiful voice work using this road as before the combination of the various instruments. "Lost" from her on a kind more new-wave pop with a voice more forward on two tones, mixing that of SIMPLE MINDS and A-HA restful also saw the flood of titles offered; but watch the soaring synth midterm reminded that here nothing is officially recorded until the end, just to the latest sounds and a final solo extraordinary guitar magnified by a striking rhythmic. Well, I say more !? Whether it's enjoyable, I said; it is beautiful, that is cutting edge and also a synthesis of the pre-mentioned groups, but the sound is the COMA ROSSI; that is bluffing, I'm right in this kind of PROG ART music, in a summary of what I imagined not hear one day, yes! This album is just wonderful, I must admit!
