ACID MOTHERS TEMPLE

"New Geocentric World"
(Squealer, 2002)

Acid Mothers Temple & the Melting Paraiso UFO (abbreviation of Underground Freak Out) it is a musical collective with seat in Japan, liderada for Kawabata Makoto, guitarist, violinist, great expert of traditional instruments that has worked the Japanese traditional music, the jazz, the rock and the psychedelia. The grouping is part of the Acid Mothers Temple Soul Collective, community hippie's luck in the one that Kawabata acts as gurú. 
The fineness of the traditional sounds and a voice that she repeats the same word last alone some few seconds in "Psycho Buddha", immediately taking the land the instrumental paraphernalia of the AMT. Unheard volumes to unusual speeds, a base on the edge of the saturation on the one that the space sounds, the most unimaginable guitar distortions, the light perception of some acoustic instrument and a human voice maybe accompanies us in this extensive, tragic and tormented cosmic trip that is arisen of an encounter between Hawkwind and Ash Ra Temple to the speed of the light. "Space Angel Ballad" is on the other hand a rested trip on a repetitive keyboard, a warm acoustic melody in second plane and a feminine voice of dream. Here the references to Ash Ra Temple they are nearer. In "You're Still Now Near me Everytime" a guitar of in agreement blows supports to a delicate melody, sometimes almost distressing, while the keyboards bubble and they emit space waves, suddenly the guitar exhibits their maxims distortions in a lingering one alone that arrives until the end of the track. "Universe of Romance" combines the traditional instruments with the waves galactics of the keyboards until some operatic voices occupy the scene transitorily. They don't try to hide that "Occi Lady" is its noisy and astral homage to Hendrix. However it concludes with a dark, rested and almost tender alone of piano. "Mellow Hollow Love" is a ballad of acoustic guitar and masculine voice with a delicate organ accompaniment on which disturbing quasi biological sounds seem to express its groan. On the end delicate sounds of flutes are coupled making moving to the track. "What do I Want to Know" is dominated by drones of growing intensity that you/they remember to the Tangerine Dream of "Zeit" vaguely.
