ALTERED STATES-MOSAIC, CD, 1995, JAPAN

Brilliantly breakneck Japanese avant prog conniptions from the mid-late 90's peak of that particular upsurge, courtesy of three members of the equally brain burning Ground Zero; guitarist Kazuhisa Uchihashi, bassist Nasuno Mitsuro and drummer Yasuhiro Yoshigaki, along with a rotating roster of equally impressive guests from one-time Tokyo Kid Brothers vocalist Koichi Makigami to Semantics sax master Ned Rothenberg, all of 'em effortlessly eliding juddering prog juggernauts akin to their contemporaries in Happy Family and P.O.N. with the sorta scrambled bouts of jazz fusion motion formulated by Boredoms guitarist Seiichi Yamamoto with his Live Under The Sky unit during the same era.
