KILLING TIME-IRENE, CD, 1988, JAPAN
Another headfuck from these Japanese mavens of the unpredictable, Irene (their third; "Skip" and "Bill" having been posted here previously) immediate screws with your expectations by frontloading the cloyingly muzak-y strains of of "Kokorowa", something that in no way can prepare you for the mad but relentlessly amiable musical subterfuges that follow, their insanely dense thickets of whacked post-prog chicanery often couched in some truly mystifying jazz-lite moves. the near-indescribable 20+ minute Irene suite is a true peak of head-scratching art rock lunacy, it's structurally destabilized arrangements coming very close to Wha Ha Ha territory. Completely mental.
