INTERSTELLAR GURU AND ZERO
ACID MOTHERS TEMPLE & THE MELTING PARAIS
- Ref. XA105M
- HOMEOPATHIC RECORDS, 2009.
Acid Mothers Temple (this time in their Melting Paraiso UFO mode) offer up two epic tracks of deconstructed psychedelic heaviness. 'Astral Projection From Holy Shangrila' takes off with echo-looped vocals and acoustic guitar strums before a corona of soaring oscillator noise gives some warning of the oncoming din. Fierce, gale-force distortion soon drowns out flailing wah-wah guitars and the whole thing starts to sound rather like one of those Boris-Merzbow collaborations. This sort of energetic stoner rock flurry can only end one way: a meandering sitar solo. The album's remaining forty minutes are taken up by the comparatively tranquil, new-agey title track, droning away on blissed out synth drones and backwards effects on the thrashy cymbals. It's here that those R2-D2-alike oscillations that coat so many AMT albums really come into their own, peppering the piece with wild, erratic electronic soloing. Later on a guitar takes the lead, tearing up the ambient backdrop with distant mountaintop shred sessions, but the whole thing gels together beautifully, and from the very start is unmistakably the handiwork of Kawabata Makoto and his far-out chums.
