about

"An album of more mercurial mood swings than Donald Trump's Twitter account, 'The Morbid Tango' is an invigorating, enriching experience."
– PROG Magazine

“This is one hell of a wild ride, an instrumental album of epic proportions. Easily a frontrunner for the best Instrumental release of 2017!”
– Sea Of Tranquility

"What Cosmosquad presents here is magic -- rabbits from hats, ladies sawed in half, impossible transportations. Only it isn't done with mirrors. One of the best fusion albums ever.”
– Metal Jazz

“This is a tremendous record from head to toe and a candidate for one of the best metal fusion albums of the year. Simply put: Cosmosquad rules!”
– The Prog Report

"Instrumental anthems of the very highest order."
– Lords Of Metal

"Morbid Tango is one amazing album that ranges from the beautifully melodic to gut wrenching guitar pyrotechnics. The eleven instrumentals are all different and clearly show that compositional thought was primary in the creative process."
– Exposé

“Cosmosquad has taken me on a ride that I will not soon forget and “The Morbid Tango” is the finest demonstration of pure musical feeling captured in a crystal ball.”
– Rock In The Fast Lane

“Incredible talent that continue to discover new territory. Chops up the wazoo; musical sophistication to make a Julliard or Berklee professor blush.”
– The DRS

"This album is so cool I cannot pick my favourite cut - just so much great material and killer execution."
– Terry Brown, producer (Rush, Fates Warning, Voivod)

"Some of the best, most inspiring stuff I have heard in a long time! Incredible playing and just gorgeous melodic composition. The band is killer!"
– Steve Lukather, Toto

This album has really grown on me. While the sound is super tight, and technical, it's not obnoxiously so. Most importantly, I love the way the riff on "String theory" calls back to the riff on "Leave No Stone" vainglory

by Mark Wingfield

Another impressive album released by MoonJune Records. Sid Smith' liner notes describe things very well! Based on Mark Winfield's composition, initially explored in a trio setting and later on enhanced by the skillful bass playing of Tony Levin and Percy Jones (well, great playing by everyone, but what else could we expect?).
