Thank God for modern-day Japanese psychedelic bands. They master the art of freaking out the squares, then record profligate scores of new releases with a saturated vintage aura, saving crate-diggers the trouble of tracking down the original 1970s output of the Flower Travelin Band, Taj Mahal Travelers, etc. The heavily enriched Acid Mothers Temple is a backwards-falling wonderland of absent-minded whirlwinds that calm the nerves with drones and simple strings while disconnecting the brain with buzzing intrusions and dead-spirit vocals. For guitar-holocaust survivors, "Occie Lady" is like seeing Blue Cheer jam endlessly from the perspective of the Goodyear blimp, while "What Do I Want to Know (Like Heavenly Kisses Part 2)" is a symphony played by an orchestra whose players are frozen at the perpetual moment of coming into higher consciousness. Didn't we mention this is <I>superb</I> psychedelic music? <I>--Ian Christe</I>

3 out of 5 stars outbloodyrageous.......2004-08-12

if you are new to AMT&TMPUFO then this a pretty good place to start. the first track "Psycho Buddha" is a bit of a testing listening experience. i like the song, but i find myslef skipping it alot of times just because it exhausts me. it's almost like a fuzzed out rock version of Coltrane's "Ascension." the remainder of the album is top notch AMT. some wild electri-fried jams, some spacy droney pieces with beautiful vocals floating and drifting along the cosmos. all drenched in glorious amounts of reverb. 3.5 stars

5 out of 5 stars fantastic psychadelica cosmos rock.......2003-09-05

After hearing this band being thrown around on various Amazon best of lists, I had to check it out, and I agree with most of the optimism---this is an amazing record that all fans of psychadlic music and acid freaks alike have to check it out. From beginning to end, it's a sprawling endless psycho-space adventure filled with many altered paths and courses. Here's the run-down, chummies:

"Psycho Buddha": An insane, sporadic cosmos rumbler that seems to carry those "verring out of control" moments of other psychadelic bands on for more than 20 minutes. Consistent drumming and distorted guitars and bass keep the beat pulsing, while layers of uncategorizable noise and random instruments (bagpipes for instance) add extra doses of madness to the mayhem. Gotta be heard to be believed.

"Space Age Ballad": Things cool down considerably here, but with no less emotion. A meandering electronic drone melody wanders about while a haunting ghost from ions ago plays a lost melody with voice and guitar. Good stuff.

"You're Still Now Near Me Everytime": A beautiful blissed-out rock song with grungy female vocals and top notch guitar from Kawabuta. Morphs into a several minute guitar solo freakout that, while not nearly as wild as Psycho Buddha and Occie Lady, is still very moving. My favorite track.

"Universe Of Romance": A similar mixture of washes of meandering noises, simple instrumentation, and ghostly vocals to Space Age Ballad but instead of acoustic guitar we have an oriental koto---which makes the ancient trip to the past aspect even stronger. Feels like I'm walking around in the gardeney ruins of some forgotten palace.

"Occie Lady": Shakes and thunders like a hurricane. Another nerve shattering psychologically terrorizing freakout trip in the vein of Psycho Buddha. The ending may surprise you.

"Mellow Hollow Love": A pretty space flower ballad done with acoustic guitar and alien vocals while a vintage synthesizer sound adds disconnected confusion to the batch. Real nice and somnambulant.

"LIke Heavenly Kisses part 2": By far the best track on the album despite the fact that it doesn't "rock", but it doesn't have to. It sounds like a more emotional response to the beyond words freefloating scene towards the end of 2001 A Space Odyssey. Drones upon drones that detach you into freeform conciousness, and by the end of the performance, you'll be crying to the simple guitar bliss of God. If you love Sigur Ros, you'll love this.

Not the Best AMT release, but still great, and a must for all psychedelic fans.

1 out of 5 stars Art Noise.......2003-02-26

It never ceases to amaze me that people find noise so interesting. I bought this CD based on various descriptions using the term "psychedelic" and on some articles I read praising Kawabata (lead guitarist). Before you buy this CD, make sure you listen to the samples. If you like noise, go for it. The first track is about 15 minutes long. You can call it improvisation if by that term you mean 6 or 7 people all playing different instruments at the same time with no coherent unifying theme. ...

Now I like "psychedelic" and spacey music, ... But I can't imagine any drug that would make listening to this a pleasure.
