Thoughts: Cosmos is a dark ambient album unlike any other I've heard. Living up to it's name it certainly feels like a trip through nothingness for most of it. However at points there are small explosions of music that fade as quickly as they come. It's as if we are floating through the Cosmos and seeing a passing star or nebula. Before you can even process it, it's faded off into the sea of stars once again.
Cosmos is an abstract album that requires quite a bit of attention to get anything out of. Multiple times I've had this on in the background and it does nothing for me. However when I stop what I'm doing and truly dig into the music with active listening the album begins to reveal its secrets to me. A challenging yet utterly rewarding listen for those who are up to it.
