Acid Mothers Temple
After performing with such bands as Toho Sara, Ohkami No Jikan, Musica Transonic, and Mainliner, Japanese guitarist Makoto Kawabata decided to continue his musical explorations by bringing together likeminded individuals to create trippy psychedelic freak-outs inspired by Karlheinz Stockhausen, Krautrock, and '70s progressive hard rock. Acid Mothers Temple & the Melting Paraiso U.F.O. (Underground Freak Out) was founded in 1996 as a "soul collective." It's not a commune in the full sense since the members don't all live together, but it is based o...[more]

LIMITED! A super wild, punishingly dark slab of experimental psychedelic hell where fuzz blasted, ultra riffing and hypnotic speed guru guitar chaos - courtesy of Mr. Kawabata Makoto - meet early Amon Duul-influenced druggy, acoustic, mantric folk experimentalisms and eastern drones from below. The scent of sulphur fills the air and brings on the Japanese psychedelic inferno!

Japan's psychedelic rangers are back! "Mantra of Love" is destined to be a classic release in the expanding catalogue of one of today's most exciting psychedelic ensembles. The recording is made up of two tracks. "La Le Lo" is a traditional Occitan piece largely based around the very melodic vocals of Cotton Casino. The recording's 15-minute closing track, "L'Ambition dans le Miroir," is a melodic and easy listening piece, with spacey electronics and great guitar lines. "Mantra of Love" is the perfect relea [ read more ]

Chances are, one tenth of a person out of every ten in the street--one in a hundred, to the layman--has tinnitus, a condition in which the sufferer hears a ringing or pulsing sound not caused by any external stimulus. Most often tinnitus drives people up the wall, and, consequently, to seek professional medical or psychological assistance. The ringing in his ears drove Makoto Kawabata of Acid Mothers Temple Soul Collective to his garage. There was the auspicious beginning - with a handful of handmade instru [ read more ]

Japanese freakout drone wizards Acid Mothers Temple return for their 3rd release on Ace Fu (and their 20-something-th in general).

Third volume in this series of EPs, same 3-D cover art as the previous 2. "... an electronic, ambient synth journey through 20 minutes of psychedelic space and time. Layers of analog filter sweeps gently glide over echoing vocals. This composition ends the series in a perfect lethargic bliss.

This particular studio release came described as one of the band's heaviest efforts yet, recorded by the compact five-person lineup of 2002 in May of that year. Lead guitar maniacs Makoto Kawabata and Hiroshi Higashi, bassist Atsushi Tsuyama, drummer Hajime Koizumi, and singer/keyboardist Cotton Casino incarnate Acid Mothers Temple on this one, and the result is, unsurprisingly, mayhem. Given all of the various releases and spin-off efforts in existence, to be sure, selecting this one as a [ read more ]

Originally sold only at gigs, Born To Be Wild In the USA was recorded during the 2000 tour at Graceland (Seattle), the Fireside Bowl (Chicago), and the Up Stage (Philadelphia). It's a full on AMT performance that lasts only a little over 40 minutes, but punters get their money's worth in spades. It's an assemblage of mostly of well-known Acid Mothers Temple jams save for "Acid Tokion 2000," that opens the set. Kawabata Makoto, and company let it rip here, allowing the full-on intensity of the band to come o [ read more ]
