08/03/2006 - Cosmic Michael - 'After A While'

"‘ I am a child of Woodstock nation, I’ve come a long way from my home....’ So sings the one and only Cosmic Michael, on this the opening track of his second album released by the Bliss label in 1970. An album now high on serious psych collector wants lists too... Cosmic Michael? Well, some regard him as a ‘Godhead’, the ultimate spiritual hippy, with songs of love, freedom & peace, all delivered with just piano, vocals and, kazoo. The nine tracks on 'After a While' are stoned 60’s DIYrock ‘n’roll. You can call it lo-fi or home made, but the message remains...Cosmic Michael preaches love and freedom...The songs run one after the other, as if part of one spontaneous recording, the moment one ends, he’s into the next, and so on...You’ve been warned..." £9.99.
