TONY TRALONGO'S COCOON
ZODIAC 2 389567 550028 - RELEASED 2017 (CD) 2017 brings the release of his first solo album since Spaceship Cocoon, released in 2013. He continues his exploration of the power of synthesizers creating moods which can only otherwise be obtained by serious meditation or by mind altering chemical means. The Zodiac album has an astrological name with song titles and lyrical content of the astronomical kind. Here we see space rock, Krautrock, ambient electronica and progressive rock collide into a an album which questions the mind and teases the listener. COCOON
SOUNDTRACK 3 - PENETRATING 2 389567 153939 - RELEASED 2015 (CD) Introducing ‘Penetrating’, volume three of the inspiring ‘Soundtrack series’ by Tony Tralongo’s Cocoon. ‘Soundtrack 3 – Penetrating’ is a mixture of previously unreleased material as well as recently recorded pieces.

SPACESHIP COCOON 2 389567 153946 - RELEASED 2013 (CD) Cocoon has come out with his tribute to a music community which has influenced him so much over the years, the German kosmiche music scene of the 1970’s. His latest release, Spaceship Cocoon, explores the diversity of sub genres in the vein of Klaus Schultze, Tangerine Dream, and Neu and other prog like King Crimson, JM Jarre and more. The album features virtual synths that emulate the instruments of the period such as the VCS-3, and Moog. This pure and minimalist music can make the listener forget that this is a new album and not some obscure gem plucked from the archives. Electronica that has ‘home grown’ qualities with a big sound. |

SOUNDTRACK FOR SHORT FILM 2 389567 153915 - RELEASED 1999 RE-RELEASED 2014 (CD) The long awaited re-release of Cocoon’s inspiring ‘Soundtrack series’ of albums. This series was originally a limited copy release on cassette and has now been digitally remastered and artwork updated. The series is comprised of Cocoon’s works that are ambient, haunting, experimental and somewhat musically provoking. SFSF was originally released in 1999 and, in many pieces, features the gloriously ‘prog’ sounds of his signature instrument, the Roland GR-700 guitar synth. The album is generally electronic and there are many orchestrally inspired injections. As does the music, Cocoon’s artwork pics reflect the sparse and remote Australian Outback. This is an excellent opening entry to the series. |

SOUNDTRACK 2 - LANDING AT DAWN 2 389567 153922 - RELEASED 2001 RE-RELEASED 2014 (CD) This is the second instalment in Cocoon’s inspiring ‘Soundtrack series’. This series was originally a limited copy release on cassette and has now been digitally remastered and artwork updated. Landing at Dawn, originally released in 2001, features guitar more prominently, in the form of steel string acoustic in pieces reminiscent of Bowie’s ‘Space Oddity’ and Fender Telecaster in the vein of Roy Buchanan. Cocoon’s Soundtrack series is ever awash with classic analogue synth sounds and this album is no exception. The second chapter of the ‘Churchill’ episode in part one, the title track is another orchestral monolith. This album, a musical time capsule, is yet another interesting and entertaining dedication to the early electronic pioneers. |

TRIANGLE
SHOCKWAVES 2 389567 550011 - RELEASED 2014 (CD) The debut, idealistic concept album by Australia’s ‘ultra-prog’ band, TRIANGLE. Progressive, if you like King Crimson. Gothic, if you like Black Sabbath and Goblin. Psychedelic, if you like Pink Floyd, and Rock if you like Rush and Krautrock. This is an epic tale of a man who lived on the fringe of his community, an alchemist. In a state of permanent fear and hiding, he recounts his ordeals in the most philosophical and tragic manner. He reveals secret truths that are still hidden from us by today’s establishment. The alchemist’s story and his observations are a warning not to blindly accept the consensus reality provided to us all at birth. The 12 page booklet contains stunning original art works. |
