HI-SPEED-ERIOKA CON ANIMAC PLANETICO, CD, 1996, JAPAN

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.

I've been wanting to hear this one since reading Chris Cutler's laudatory comments about it some years ago, but I could never find it. Thanks.

Tried to download this several times now, and keeps getting stuck part way in. Megaupload usually gives me no trouble...
Anyway, I'll keep trying...

best wishes
Chris
