THE VIOLA CRAYOLA-MUSIC: BREATHING OF STATUES, LP, 1974, USA

This electrifying hard prog/spacey fusion beast from Texas' other and far less celebrated countercultural Crayola suggests many hours spent prostrate before the Mahavishnu Orchestra alter, but this early 70's outlet for the brothers Viola and their relentless guitar/drum attack offers far more than mere emulation, with their mix of expressiveness and ferocity capable of both evoking the shrieking abandon of fusion heads as outwardly bound as Love Cry Want while at other times managing to presage the intricate liquid lyricism of Shadowfax's debut Watercouse Way by a few years.
