The Comedy of Errors: Cosmic Baby - Cosmikk Trigger 1 (28 June 1992)

It may have been semantic mischievousness that caused Peel to schedule records with the words, “cosmikk” and “hippy”  in them to follow one another on this show but if  he did, he kept quiet about it.

Apparently, there have been at least 5 separate volumes of Cosmikk Trigger recorded by Harald Blucher aka Cosmic Baby.  Having listened to four of them, my advice would be to stick with Cosmikk Trigger 1 and then move on.  Subsequent volumes, especially the 10 minute Cosmikk Trigger 5.0 go deeper and denser, with the narrator spouting slogans which sound like you’ve wandered into some hellish New Age cult convention from which there’s no escape.  But the rub of it is Cosmikk Trigger 1 is tempting enough to make the listener tour around them all, despite any inherent cynicism.
Blucher is shrewd enough to wrap the meditative slogans around a series of exciting and invigorating melodies which when combined with the insistently sexy narration and breathy sighs suggest that cosmikk triggers are being squeezed all around the dance floor.  An intoxicating, sensual, Siren-like call to surrender your inhibitions.  Just try and get out before the hard sell lectures start on the later volumes.
