Hi-Speed | tl

This obscure Japanese avant prog crew pretty much lay bare their intentions with the cover art's overt tip 'o the hat to Picchio Dal Pozzo's classic R.I.O.-esque second album Abbiamo Tutti I Suoi Problemi, but the specific gravity and impact Hi-Speed achieve here really places this some poles apart from their inspiration and situates this a lot closer to the compressed and thundering avant prog attack of their 90's peers in Happy Family and P.O.N.; the more formal chamber rock arrangements here acting as springboards to more pummeling, contorted and 90's-specific articulations of avant prog praxis. .
