Terumasa Hino Quintet - Live in Berlin 1971 (Victor SMJX-10128)

 More Terumasa Hino, here's a favourite, unbelievably out of print, by Hino's touring quintet of the early 70's, incredibly inventive unit, stradling freeish post Bop, Fusion, you name it.
Of note specifically is some remarkably free shredding by guitarist Kyoshi Sugimoto (Taku Sugimoto's father), who steals the show here, for me, along with Hino's folksy vocal tone and incendiary attack...

Cycle Circle, on side one has a lurching ominousness that's very similar territory to K.Komeda's Astigmatic.

ENJOY!!
