\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Great news for cosmograf<\/strong> fans, the man behind it all, Robin Armstrong<\/strong>, has announced that there will be a limited -re-pressing of the brilliant 2013 release ‘The Man Left In Space’.<\/em><\/p>\n

“As some of you know the 2013 release – ‘The Man Left In Space’<\/em> has been out of print on CD for some time. This has lead to odd copies turning up at Amazon etc. at eye-watering prices none of which comes back to the artist. The cost of re-pressing is pretty large but due to demand we are planning a limited re-press. Further info will be here and possible pre-order once we have confirmation.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In our race for achievement and success, we sometimes gamble with our lives only to collect isolation, unhappiness and failure.? <\/em><\/p>\n

The Man Left in Space <\/em> is a concept album exploring the themes of aspiration, achievement, and the failures that our quest sometimes brings. The story is played out against the analogous theme of a doomed space mission, launched in a bid to save mankind. The story provides a metaphor for the perils of success, such as boredom, isolation, unhappiness and ultimately failure?<\/p>\n

The 9 track progressive rock album draws on many past and contemporary influences in music, and takes a journey into the unknown to feed the imagination, and appetite of the listener of intelligent music. \u2013 It features a number of special guests from the progressive rock community including Nick D?Virgilio<\/strong> (Spock\u2019s Beard\/Big Big Train ), Dave Meros<\/strong> (Spock\u2019s Beard), Matt Stevens<\/strong>, Greg Spawton<\/strong> (Big Big Train), Simon Rogers<\/strong>, Steve Dunn<\/strong> ( Also Eden?), Lee Abraham<\/strong> ( The Lee Abraham Band?), Luke Machin<\/strong> ( The Tangent\/Maschine?) and Dave Ware<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
