KOSMOS 5 KOSMOS AJAN PEILI LP 12.2019
Kosmos is a folk-progressive group from Turku, Finland. Their main influences come
from folk, progressive and psychedelic rock of the early seventies. The lyrics, sung
by their female singer Päivi Kylmanen, are in Finnish, but English translations are
also included on their albums. The songs rely on strong atmosphere and interesting
lyrics. According to Olli Valtonen, the main lyric writer, the general idea in the
lyrics is "the other reality" (mainly the cosmic and mystic one). On the fifth album,
'Ajan Peili', Kosmos continues in their own original style! Lim. to 300 copies only.
