MACHINE AND THE SYNERGETIC NUTS

Excellent typical japanese prog band with the toughness of Ruins hovering over their heads. But they are actually much more into the 'prog thang' than that duo's excentric music. With keyboards, mainly organ, in the front line and compositions that tackle every angle of the fusion and RIO schools, you get a very distinctive sound coming close to an 'original sound' of their own. I am not sure which of their 2 cds i like best. But both come highly recommended if you like your fusion with some originality in the composition and maybe a bit of RIO influence for good measure!
