Somehow this nearly, almost, passed by. Thank god it didn’t. I have picked up a few Skatebard 12”s before, and although they sounded OK, I didn’t end up buying them. Not enough going on, and no real connection to the music. So I wasn’t overly excited about their album, entitled Cosmos. I rather stupidly thought, “I know, more second rate cosmic disco…”. Stupid. Silly. Boy. This is easily my favourite album for a while. I was a quite a late starter with clubbing, and all of it’s associated devilry. When I think back on the time in my life when I truly discovered the connection between ecstasy and music and being with friends you loved at a time when your life is really changing (God, someone pass the bucket), there is a soundtrack of certain sounds, and chords, that always come to me, like musical feelings inside my head. When I listened to Cosmos through the headphones, early one morning after coming home from playing a gig, memories of those years hit me with such force, that I had to stop listening. It was one of the most emotional, and personal experiences I have had with music for a very long time. I didn’t actually plan to write that, but it’s the truth. I have since got a grip on myself, and enjoyed it many times over, and you should too.
