The name COS has been used more than once. The first was a Belgian band formed in the 70s.
COS was lead by flautist/guitarist Daniel Schell and featured his wife, oboist/vocalist Pascale Son, who used nonsense syllables to suggest a semblance of language. They offer a mixture of progressive rock, jazz, avant-garde and Canterbury scene styles. Joined on their first album, Postaeolian Train Robbery, by drummer Robert Dartsch, bassist Alain Goutier and keyboardist Charles Loos, which was released on the small Plus label.
In 1976, they released Viva Boma, which is generally considered by fans to be their masterpiece. Each of the following albums having it's own unique sound; Babel emphasizing Pascale's vocals and featuring funk/disco beats; Swiss Chalet sounding more new wave, while expressing an African feel; Pasiones mixing styles such as Adrian Belew-era King Crimson, Canterbury Scene, and operatic and Latin American musics.
The band split in the mid-80's after their final release, 1984's the Hotel Atlantic EP.
