Cosmos is the 4th release from Mexican electronic producer Fernando Corona who is better known as Murcof. Cosmos is an ambient album that is best enjoyed in a quiet, dark environment. When Murcof went on tour with this album he performed in places that best visually described the music, one such place was a planetarium (which I would have personally loved to have gone to). This album (most notably through its name) is probably the best soundtrack that you could to listen when you are out in a dark field doing stargazing etc, which I would also personally recommend.
When listening to this album, you can hear that it is a Murcof album, but it is also quite noticeable that the sound has changed and evolved. Whereas in albums such as Corona's iconic debut album, the 2002 Martes, where the classical instrumentation has been taken from tracks originally composed by Arvo Part then manipulated in free and bought software, in Cosmos all the instrumentation is composed specially for the album and was recorded by Fernando Corona. If, like me you enjoy the micro programming of Murcof's earlier work, you may find this 6 track album a hard fit, but if you manage to find some time in the dark (preferably with stars) this album really comes into its own. My personal favorite track from this album is the 4th track, Cometa. Find this track at the Youtube link below.
For fans of Murcof, Max Richter, Marsen Jules, Arvo Part etc.
