CD/DVD Releases: Cosmograf To Release "The Unreasonable Silence" June 13, 2016
In more web-wanderings, we learned that Cosmograf, the UK progressive rock project headed by Robin Armstrong, will release their 5th album, The Unreasonable Silence on June 13, 2016.
According to the website, the album is "an existential concept album with an alien theme, based on the essay ‘The Myth of Sisyphus’ by the French philosopher Albert Camus.
"'It's essentially a more modern re-telling of Camus's writings about mankind's struggle to understand the universe and our role within it,' says the concept's creator Robin Armstrong. 'Camus described man standing face to face with the irrational, longing for happiness and reason which leads to a confrontation between the human need and the unreasonable silence of the world.'
