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.

RIALZU biography

By
  RIALZU biography by Gilles Renne (Rialzu) and Alain Lebon (Soleil Zeuhl)   It was during the rebirth of the Corsican Independence movement that the only record of RIALZU appeared. RIALZU, a band whose musical adventure plunges me back into the far-away and almost ghostly universe of my youth.   RIALZU was created in the early 1970’s at the peak of an incredible musical effervescence : many bands, soon to become legends, were breaking musical taboos and adventuring onto virgin territories by mixing musical styles with incredible creativity and thus laying the new foundations of music yet to be. It was in this atmosphere that, as a teenager, I began teaching myself to play the guitar by trying to decipher the magical notes of my ‘guitar heroes’ from their albums. I met Christophe Mac Daniel, a young organist from Corsica, at a Jesuit boarding school in Avignon. Together we took our first musical steps by starting up a band (of ever-changing names) with two other...

Originally released in 1970, this is a psychedelic hard-rocker, occasionally amalgamating with proto-prog and folk. The self-titled opening track sets the stage for what is bound to follow. As we journey through the album’s stomping textures, we discover tunes such as Drömmens Värld that pleasantly unsettles the listener in a trance-like state with non-s...
