Cosmosquad - Discography (4cd's)

“Acid Test solidifies Cosmosquad as one of the foremost Prog Rock instrumental bands on the scene today. (It’s) easily one of the best records of the year, instrumental or not.. Be prepared for a great record with amazing musicianship and even better songs.” 
- Sea Of Tranquility 

“The playing here is tight and perfect throughout. This is absolutely stellar stuff that's making me kick myself for not getting to his disc sooner. You shouldn't hesitate at all - seek this one out. Very, very, very recommended.” 
-Stephanie Sollow, PROGRESSIVE WORLD 

“COSMOSQUAD's "Squadrophenia" is a fusion-album par excellence. Everyone who loves instrumental albums…should listen to this one.” 
-Stefan Rainer, METAL OBSERVER.COM 

“Cosmosquad simply knows how to write a tune or two and play it with the conviction of a cat chewing on a telephone cord. The band is ultra tight and everyone in the room is evidently having a great time. If your taste favors the rocking side of the instrumental guitar spectrum, you owe it to yourself to check out this excellent live recording…The hooks are catchy and some of the songs are instantly memorable. The interplay between the musicians is tight and exciting, and their extensive live experience together shines through the more improvisational numbers…Sure, there are gobs of three-piece outfits out there, but Cosmosquad is actually a band, rather than a vehicle for a guitar player or drummer's aspirations to subjugate the universe with their virtuosity.” 
-Rog The Frog Billerey-Mosier, SSMT Reviews 

“Cosmosquad delivers a great dose of freshness. These guys have great chops and know how to construct songs that rock as well as dig a little deeper. Needless to say, after one track I found myself prepared to like whatever Cosmosquad planned on throwing in my direction. You will not be disappointed.” 
-Chris Beaumont, Blog Critics.Org 

“Though the playing voices a significant level of complexity and maturity of instrumental delivery, the composition demonstrates a cohesive, easily perceivable musical vision that is mind-stretching.” 
-Christopher Ruel, EER-MUSIC.COM 

“Who says things don’t just happen for a reason? This is a true testimonial about a band of extremely talented musicians that were in separate projects, crossed paths in a Phoenix, Arizona rehearsal studio, and developed a strong musical connection that led them to produce excellent compositions and become a powerful new band in the rock/fusion scene today…the recordings remain extremely tight, well defined, and perfectly executed.” 
-Derek Davodowich, Music Players 

“It is nice to see excellent musicians getting an outlet for their music. Cosmosquad is a mixing of many genres that show off the bands creativity and musical genius. Guitar enthusiast should check them out as they will not be disappointed.” 
-Jeb Wright, Classic Rock Revisited 

“COSMOSQUAD are that rare three-pronged constellation of stellar musicianship, unique songwriting and forward thinking attitude that allows for great musical things to happen." 
-Pay Play 

“The L.A. based trio managed to melt futuristic progressive metal, African tribal rhythms, jazzy sounding fusion, and classic instrumental rock guitar playing into a digestible mix. …usually attempts to mix so many different styles end up in a chaotic, "faceless" musical mess, but Cosmosquad is the exception to the rule. The band managed to create a sound of their own which is entertaining all through their albums.”
