“Long recognized as a one-off gem among Europrog collectors, COMA’s debut "Financial Tycoon" reflects the proclivity of Danish peers such as Secret Oyster and Burnin’ Red Ivanhoe for producing outstanding jazz-fusion, albeit uniquely blended with prog textures, and a sardonic sensitivity that was engraved across Europe in the releases of the likes of Kandahar, Supersister, Banzai, Brainstorm, Plastic People of the Universe, Pazop, more or less inspired by Zappa’s surrealistically ironic posture.
Although ultimately released in 1977, the sonic amalgamations that crystallized in "Financial Tycoon" had been fermenting ever since the early 70s during interminable rehearsal sessions and live shows. Matching performative precision with style, COMA didn’t just excel in furnishing a solid album that combines prowess with inventiveness, but engaged in sonic argumentation non-stop, permeated by a Dadaistic thread that radiated even more ferociously in their live shows. This is why we chose to extend the album to 5 more hours by including a bonus DVD with 4 seminal live-shows, fully remastered by the band, a testament of their ability to continuously improvise and enrich the album’s contents. Triumphantly defiant of audience expectations, their live shows thrived with freeform experimentation.
This first ever reissue, remastered by the band, comes in 400 numbered copies in 4 colors (100x each), with a bonus audio DVD and a 2-page insert.
