Financial Tycoon. 1977 Genlyd
Amoc. 1980 Genlyd
Love and Madness - It's All the Same. 1986 Generation
Financial Tycoon is like a direct cross between two of Denmark's finest bands: Dr. Dopo Jam and Secret Oyster. From Dr. Dopo Jam they inherit the obvious Zappa influence, including humorous bits and complex composition style. From Secret Oyster they get the fusion tendencies and instrumental dexterity. Some splendid sax and ripping guitar solos really add spice to the album. I've heard some folks say Financial Tycoon is Canterbury influenced, but I can't say I do.

Not surprisingly, Amoc, released three years later is much more in the fuzak area, with plenty of soft sax and early digital synthesizer action. All is not a total loss, as there's still plenty of rough edged guitar moments and a couple of moodier electric piano driven pieces, with the highlight being the final title track.
I have not heard the 3rd album to date.
