Speed Limit - Speed Limit 2 (mini-lp sleeve)
SKU
BELLE ANTIQUE 071351
If the first Speed Limit album can be referred to as 'fairly rare' (it can be and I just did!), then the second album, also just called 'Speed Limit', but released this time by RCA in 1976, is truly rare. I had never actually seen it until this reissue. Once again led by drummer George Jinda, the personnel shifts a bit on this one and is even more impressive than the first album: Jean-luc Bucchi-electric piano, Yochk'o Seffer-saxes, Michele Ripoche-violin and Jannick Top-bass. This one is a really powerful album that I'm now exceedingly glad I never DID hear before, because if I had, I would've paid way too much to acquire an lp of this bad boy. It smokes pretty much from start to finish and is really a unknown classic of French Zeuhl/fusion. In addition to its own merits, it also includes an early version (using the same basic tracks, but not sharing all of them) of Soleil D'Ork from Udu Wudu by Magma, here entitled African Dance No. 3. So, Magma competists must have this as well. In any event, this is highly recommended.
