Biography
Bi Kyo Ran is a Japanese progressive rock band formed in 1973 by guitarist Kunio Suma. Starting out covering *King Crimson* as Madoromi, the band developed a dense, guitar led sound of their own on 'Bi Kyo Ran' in 1982 and 'Parallax' in 1983. After a long silence, Suma revived the group as a large percussion heavy ensemble for 'Go-Un' in 1995, then as a trio for 'Kyobo na Ongaku' in 1997. A later line-up recorded the Cromartie High School soundtrack in 2004.
