about

Hi spacefolks!
Welcome to the third edition of COSMIC HOFFMANN’s “Close encounters of the fourth kind” – another musical journey through time and space.
Starting off in 1978 with the warm vintage “Sehr mystisch” and “Floating in time” our astral trip full of spontaneous live-music takes us straight to the mid-Nineties’ ethereal “Carina Cygnus”, that part of the milky way’s spiralarm where I performed a lot of concerts together with my Cosmic Companion Stephen Parsick.
In 1999 the song “Space Pioneers” emerged spontaneously as an encore after the longest gig (3.5 hours) we ever played. Followed by the rather psychedelic song “Nebelwald” that was inspired by a spacey experience in a foggy forest in early 2000 our flight leads us with “Further beyond the galaxy” and “The Gate of Bihar” to the end of that year when your Cosmic Captain and his Caring Crew performed a powerful gig at the E-Live-Festival in Holland.
It was in 2001 when our fiery “Timeshift” brought the cosmic fire to Old Blighty’s Jodrell Bank Radio Observatory in Knutsford / UK. Spiced with personal recordings from my bike ride at night in 2003 through India’s Varanasi, aka Benares, at the holy river Ganges, the Asian-flavoured song “Indian Bliss” with its floating celestial tunes brings us safely back to Mother Earth and to the end of this electric spacejourney.

Enjoy it and keep watching the stars

Life to Come
by Redshift

supported by 4 fans who also own “Electric Trick”

honestly this album takes quite a bit of time and many listening rounds to actually "get into". No doubt it is technically excellent, with more advanced composition elements than earlier records, however it isn't that easily accessible either. Perhaps this is actually a strength as each time you will listen to there will be more details to discover. Martin R
