Cosmograf's Rattrapante is a five-track progressive rock album from Portsmouth, released in 2021 and written, produced, mixed and mastered by Robin Armstrong. Armstrong handles vocals, guitars, keyboards and bass, with Kyle Fenton supplying drums and backing vocals, so the basic setup is broad enough for long-form rock without needing a large cast. The songs all turn around time, memory and the urge to outrun the clock, but the record keeps that idea grounded in titles such as “In 1985” and “Memories Lie”.
There are a few details that give the arrangement its own shape. NASA sound clips appear on the title track, Chrissy Mostyn adds vocals to “I Stick To You”, and Tommy McNally delivers spoken word on “Time Will Flow”. That makes this a good fit for progressive rock listeners who like a clear concept, studio-built detail and vocal variation rather than a loose collection of songs. It was recorded mainly at Armstrong's studio, The Trees, in Waterlooville, with Fenton's drums tracked at Aubitt Studios in Southampton. The paid download includes a digital booklet with lyrics and credits, and the artist says the native files are 24-bit/96 kHz, though that claim comes from the description rather than verified file metadata.
