If you are looking for an album that you can fully absorbed into,
then you need look no further than Clear Blue Sky's 'Cosmic Crusader'.
Just close your eyes, press play and drift into another world for
the next 50 mins of pure magic.
The guitar work from John is just breathtaking, complimented
by a wonderful rhythm section from Kraznet on Bass and Ken
on Drums. The keyboards from Adam give the album a surreal
effect helping you to drift away, all you need is some imagination.
'Cosmic Crusader' is a very relaxing album, although saying
that, there are some moments when the music does approach a heavier
side to it.
In some ways, I found the music to be similar to Manfred Mann's Earthband.
My favourite tracks are the instrumental 'Earth, The Rock',
which is a slow mesmerising track with wonderful keyboards and stunning
guitar work. 'Picture Puzzle', which starts off with an acoustic
guitar and some atmospheric keyboards before taking on a heavier side,
great vocals and some nice backing vocals from Maxine, and a wonderful
guitar solo. 'Highway Of Fire', this track really rocks and
has a great punchy bass throughout and once again great guitar work.
'Cosmic Crusader', the longest track on the album at 9 mins
40 secs and is a slow dreamy affair. soft vocals, atmospheric keyboards
and some wonderful guitar.
'Cosmic Crusader', is an album that grabs your attention from
start to finish, and shows a lot of versatility within the music on
the album from dreamy thought provoking tracks, blues orientated and
some heavier melodic tracks.
Highly recommended!!
