Acid Mothers Temple

ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

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) were founded in 1996 as a "soul collective."

This seems to be a live LP recorded during their tour of 2000 but it looks like one of those classic dubious live records from the seventies in the vein of the Pink Floyd, Emerson, Lake and Palmer or Kiss. Photo copied image on plain white sleeve with black labels. Apparently there were 1000 pressed. Not much more to be said.

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 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 o   [ read more ]

Important, the Newburyport, MA label that issued this 2007 release by Acid Mothers Temple & the Melting Paraiso U.F.O., claims that this is a "very clean sounding" AMT release. They're right; it is. In fact, it may be the best-produced recording by the prolific ensemble in its long history. Fans of the unit have grown used to the speaker-bleeding distortion and bust-out volumes, which have often led to hearing less differentiation on their recordings than is desirable -- even to them. Yet the clean   [ read more ]

Recorded at Reckless Records on the night before September 11, 2001 where the band is introduced by saying that they are playing in Detroit at the Detroit Contemporary the next night, this CD is a reissue of the out of print Eclipse LP of the same name. There are significant differences in appearance, however, in that the LP version boasted the track titles "La Novia Gentle Lift Off," and "Crash and Burned La Novia." The CD's two track titles are "Space Age Ballad/La Novia (Including in E)," and {&   [ read more ]

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.
