UNIVERS ZEN OU DE ZÉRO À ZÉRO

Since I discovered ACID MOTHERS TEMPLE I thought that the name of the band was an invitation to listen to their albums under the influence of an acid, I'd never tasted acids but I'm sure that if I ever taste one I'll do it listening to these Japanese dudes.

The music of this band is clearly founded on classic European psychedelic bands such as HAWKWIND, GONG, DZYAN or GURU GURU (members of ACID MOTHERS TEMPLE have collaborated with members of GONG and GURU GURU in parallel projects) but clearly they took that influence to an even more intense level of experimentation.

Kawabata MAKOTO's guitar solos are one of a kind: the bubbling sound that never ends and goes through the entire album (there are almost no consistent riffs, but only very energetic solos) and is accompanied by the incessant drumming by Koizumi HAJIME creates the atmosphere of this album filled with the Gilli SMYTH-like vocal lines. The occasional acoustic guitar lines accompanied with synthesizers keeps the ACID atmosphere even when MAKOTO's electric guitar is absent in the songs.

Everything in this album is beyond Psychedelic/Acid rock: this is out of this world.
