Fast tempo (170-220) instru songs

 I'm seeking some good fast paced prog instrumentals for a certain media project.

 But it's a bit hard to go through every album in every country from every year, though I'm sure there are a few!

 The specs: 1969-1983 (too garagey before, eighties sounds come ruining after '84)

 Not too dissonant and dark, more like melodic and harmonically rich.

 Like an adventurous chase in a film/story, a roller coaster ride.

 Mind you: I saw some threads in other forums concerning fast prog songs...but the results were not what I'm after. They were like intense, and fast instrument parts, but the overall beat/tempo wasn't above, say 130. Someone shredding fast doesn't make the song fast. Actually, the less fast solos, the better. So the tempos: like double feel, really.

 Couple a references comes to mind: Mafred Mann Earth Band: Countdown...or maybe Rainbow: A light in the black...or Allman Bros: Jessica. I know, not so prog genre bands...but just to show you the beat. Like hear what the drummer is doing!

 Thanks for your interest! Let's see what we might find out!
