OFF: Acid Mothers Temple

[Stephan Forstner]

Speaking of new Acid Mothers releases, they also have a live CD out on
Eclipse Records called 'Live in Japan' with a gig from December 2001.
Thoroughly over the top and the next best thing to being there, and with
very good sound. Not to mention the recent studio release Electric
Heavyland. And the 3 CD compilation-rerospective. And Temple guru Kawabata
Makoto also appears on a whole slew of recent reissues and solo discs as
well as on the newest Musica Transonic disc (Hard Rock Transonic) which is a
very High Rise/Mainliner groove-monster deal, completely unlike their more
usual 'spazzy-jazzy' approach.  Kawabata is clearly on the path to being the
most prolific musician of the past 20 years, he's already appeared on about
994 different recordings. Maybe his only real competition is fellow Japanese
underground psych/noise/freak-out artist Keiji Haino who's appeared on about
991 different recordings. OW my wallet is hurting.
