I Am the Cosmos

I Am the Cosmos is the only solo album by the American musician Chris Bell, posthumously released in 1992 by Rykodisc.

The cover features a picture that was taken near Nendaz in Switzerland, it shows the opposite side of the valley with Ardon and the south flank of the snowy massif of Les Diablerets in the back.

Newsday wrote that "the playing on Bell's tracks is often hit or miss, the production erratic enough to qualify as something of a comfortable kids' vanity recording...

"[11] The Orlando Sentinel deemed the album "lovely and terribly sad with a Badfinger-esque structure.

"[12] Trouser Press likewise labeled it "a beautiful and disturbing Syd Barrett-by-way-of-Badfinger album of erratic, haunted pop music".
