Schnell David & Annegarn Dick - Egmont And The ff Boom LP

Part fantastical historic Sonic biopic, part anthropologic journey into the deep roots of Belgium's Monstrous Cosmic rock sound, this wholly individualistic concept album combines the lead members of the Mighty COS (Daniel Schell and Pascale Son) with studio Genius Alain Pierre (Ô Sidarta/Des Morts) and celebrated Dutch progressive rock singer Dick Annegarn, for what many consider to be both the Overlooked hiding place of Belgium's Deepest psychedelic moment and European prog's lost map to the The 'Franco-Flemish Boom'. Initially released in 1978 via Zeuhl school distributors Free Bird alongside French pressings of Don Cherry, Jacques Thollot and CAN, it is plain to understand the niche nature of this maligned "lost COS" LP as it finally Blooms from between the cracked branches of European jazz -rock-synth-psych-prog-pop history… and beyond!
