He built the first interactive music site on the Internet, and has been working with Virtual Reality since the early 90s. He created the video for DECLASSIFIED&#8217;s first single, &#8220;Portofino,&#8221; entirely in a VR environment. (Video: https:\/\/youtu.be\/39PyKqFIY_w)<\/p>\n<p>Coleman plays drums for ex-Psychedelic Furs guitarist John Ashton, and appears extensively on his album, &#8220;Satellite Paradiso,&#8221; which features past and present members of David Bowie, Iggy Pop, Killing Joke and Gang Of Four. (http:\/\/satelliteparadiso.com). He&#8217;s also played in front of over 40,000 people as a member of Boston&#8217;s notorious performance art lunatics The Bentmen, called \u201cone of the most outrageous rock acts in the country\u201d by The Village Voice (http:\/\/bentmen.com). <\/p>\n<p>Ashton provided the mastering for DECLASSIFIED. The album also features ex-Furs saxophonist Duncan Kilburn, innovative electronic cellist Jo Quail, and former \u2018Til Tuesday guitarist Robert Holmes, who takes a virtuoso turn on &#8220;Buenos Aires International Airport,&#8221; a track which Coleman calls &#8220;the &#8216;Free Bird&#8217; of Spy music.&#8221; (Video: https:\/\/youtu.be\/xy-6Dtg3n60). Seattle jazz futurist John Chmaj adds a wild, hypnotic flute solo and suspicious Hammond organ.<\/p>\n<p>Sly, subversive and filled with hidden meanings that can be neither confirmed nor denied, SECRET AGENT&#8217;s DECLASSIFIED reveals more mysteries with every listen. <\/p>\n<p>Available with complete dossier including raw intelligence, unredacted transcripts, list of suspects and surveillance photos. <\/p>\n<p>AVAILABLE NOW:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/secretagentband.com\/pdf\/secret-agent-transcripts.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Dossier<\/a>.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/secretagentband.com\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Website<\/a>.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/linktr.ee\/secretagent\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Linktree<\/a><\/p>\n<p>#Spy, #Music, #Soundtrack, #Latin, #Jazz, #Lounge, #Chill, #retro, #electronicmusic, #Funk, #newwave, #filmscore, #Mashup, #surfrock, #PFurs, #Cool, #Dark, #FilmScore, #SecretAgent, #Epic, #Mi5,  #Neurofunk, #newmusic,  #Underground, #VR, #NewReleases, #JamesBond, #NowPlaying<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SECRET AGENT is a mind-bending rush of electronica, psychedelia, lounge and surf, all mixed up like double agents in a vat of piranhas.
