Not One Star Will Stand The Night

In 1998, Acid Mothers Temple went on a swing of the UK that sowed the seeds for a new cosmic unit, Rebel Powers. Kawabata Makoto, Cotton Casino and original AMT drummer Koizumi Hajime met up with David Keenan, guitarist for Glasgow's Telstar Ponies and prominent scribe for London's premier new music mag The Wire, and holed up in South London's Moat Studios to let the heavenly river flow. With legendary engineer and Moat head honcho Toby Robinson behind the boards (who has worked with Stockhausen and has recorded the likes of Ash Ra Tempel, Fushitsusha and Derek Bailey), the circle was complete to adequately document the happening. The result is magic, but magic of an entirely different sort of conjuring than one would expect. Not One Star Will Stand the Night is the eerie debut release by Rebel Powers, a lonely, sorrowful wander through stark tonal passages and cinematic despair.
