Megasoma Comateens

“Take two Norths. Add some Byrd. Throw in a buncha nuts and some tasty riffs. Mix well. Whaddya get: COMATEENS. Warning: can be habit forming.

Nic: We were asked if we set out to write a certain kind of song and then write it.

Oliver: He wanted to know if we stick to a Comateen format, or whether any song we write happens to be a Comateen song.

Eye: If you have a preset formula.

Oliver: If we mold our songs. And I said that anything we write is a Comateen song. That’s where the quote from Jung came in — that it wasn’t Goethe who created Faust but Faust who created Goethe…”
