THE REVIEW
..and at a certain point of the album, I wanted to turn off every light, even the tiniest one, and dissolve into the darkness following those tribal digressions..
I don't remember this ever happening to me before, and it may never happen again..
Here I projected myself into hyperspace, and crazy screams amplified my irrationality
..omnipotence of sound

Comus
Comus are a British acid/prog-folk group formed in England, first gaining cult status with First Utterance (1971), a dark, acoustic-driven album with violin, flute and oboe. After the more accessible To Keep From Crying (1974) they split, later reuniting in 2008 and issuing Out Of The Coma (2012), which also resurrected the archival Malgaard Suite.07 Reviews

By Robert Fripp
Every piece is a whirlwind and suggestive encounter with the inhabitants of a mystical and fantastic landscape.
The best track is perhaps 'The Herald'... imbued with an INCREDIBLE nocturnal charm... an unimaginable sensation of discomfort and perdition.
By enbar77
This work, predominantly built on brilliant but deliberately disordered medieval metrics, represents the possibility of dazzling any musical score that a normal staff could contain.
Sounds that flow, never breaching the banks, in a single channel designed by the same.
