(2018) Acid Mothers Temple & The Melting Paraiso U.F.O. - Sacred and Inviolable Phase Shift





Review:

Acid Mothers Temple & The Melting Paraiso U.F.O. return with Sacred And Inviolable Phase Shift. Acid Mothers Temple is a Japanese project of ultra psychedelia, led by guitarist Makoto Kawabata, who was already the leader of Ankoku Kakumei Kyodotai (aka Dark Revolutionary Collective) at the end of the 1970s, as documented on the two suites of Dark Revolutionary Collective, for electronic keyboards, and Psychedelic Noise Freak, both originally recorded in 1978. They showcase a lot of synthesizer noise which recalls the early surreal experiments of the avantgarde of the 1960s. The 14-minute Binary Bible Revolution, on the latter, is perhaps the most daring. Kawabata’s Baroque Bordello cassettes from the 1980s, such as First Trip, continued Dark Revolution Collective’s program. Acid Mothers Temple & The Melting Paraiso U.F.O. (Underground Freak Out), as the full name goes, were formed in 1996. AMT (for short) play progressive jams in the vein of psychedelic freaks such as Magma and Gong. Furthermore, Kawabata believes he is the reincarnation of hippie guru Father Yod. Unfortunately, their art has been diluted over (literally) dozens of albums. 

Acid Mothers Temple & The Melting Paraiso Ufo (PSF, 1997) is a manifesto that presents the different facets of psychedelic music that Kawabata would explore in the rest of his career. The 18-minute Speed Guru lays claim to being the most ferocious bacchanals since the Velvet Underground and Amon Duul II. The spine of the piece is the terrifying tribal drumming by Koizumi Hajime. The rhythm is antagonized by Hiroshi Higashi’s infernal synthesizer noises and tinkling electronics. The two protagonists dominate the music, but one can detect undercurrents…
