DESCRIPTION
ACID MOTHERS TEMPLE (& THE MELTING PARAISO UFO)
The Ripper At The Heaven’s Gates Of Dark

Label : Riot Season
Year : 2011
Format : CD
Style : Rock / Psychedelic Rock
Availability : Out of stock


Description :The renowned Japanese Cosmic freak-out heavyweights return with a brand new studio album and full supporting UK/Ireland tour, marking ten years since their mothership first descended on the UK. Now a steady four piece led by Kawabata Makoto (guitar) and including Tsuyama Atsushi (bass/vocals), Higashi Hiroshi (synthesizer/guitar) and Shimura Koji (drums). The collective recorded the album in the aftermath of the Japan disaster at their mountaintop retreat where the collective still reside. With the exception of the album's opener 'Chinese Flying Saucer' and it's unashamedly obvious musical references to Led Zeppelin II (hello 1969!) the rest of the album locks into a much more laid-back groove than on recent AMT releases. This dynamic shift is best displayed on the 22 minute jam, 'Shine On You Crazy Dynamite' and also the album's closer 'Electric Death Mantra'. The band opt for less frantic explosions of electric guitar overload and fuzz, replacing those elements with a more epic, blissed-out and at times brooding Japanese psychedelia, with more emphasis on acoustic guitars, sitar, organ, synthesiser and at times, really trippy vocals (most prevalent on 'Back Door Man Of Ghost Rails Inn'), recalling the twisted psychedelics of early Pink Floyd. Yet still, their sound remains so expansive that it is easy to become totally immersed in this album. Epic in proportions, cloaked in a cosmic haze and shimmering in a synth utopia. 'The Ripper At Heaven's Gates Of Dark' maintains AMT's status as masters of out-of-this-world music and reveals their darker side of the moon. The first pressing of the CD is limited to 1500 copies, and comes packaged in a 350gsm card gatefold sleeve (as with our recent PIKACYU*MAKOTO CD release). Subsequent represses will be in standard sleeve.
