George Hirota - The Ancient Consciousness Of Evil Spirit (1976) [Jazz-Fusion]
Lovingly off kilter, psychedelic jazz, like Popol Vuh on a decidedly bad trip instead of rolling doobs in the sunshine. The bass is bangin', the flute is perfect and the vibe at times touches upon the whimsy of the Canterbury Scene but with a decidedly darker, more cinematic tone. It helps that George is a beastly drummer and screams his face off like a maniac at the slightest provocation. A touch of madness there, but the result is finnnneee.
