Description
This live record, which was recorded in various spots around the US and Europe, is a pretty swell document of the kind of retro-psych powerhouse these gents have become. Though the lineup is stipped down from their earlier recording lineups ("just" five people), Acid Mothers Temple deliver the goods. The music here, takes off from the very beginning and doesn't really come down until the end, sometimes with straight heavy jams that wouldn't sound completely out of place on a High Rise record, sometimes Moog-feuled free-form freakouts, and in some places they even bring in the melody and make this stuff just beautiful.
The reference points are somewhat obvious, a lot of the song titles echo Barrett-Pink Floyd tunes ("Astrological Overdrive," "Pink Lady Lemonade"), and the music definitely rings of early Ash Ra Temple, Hawkwind, and even a less heavy High Rise at times (though I swear "Pink Lady Lemonade" steals a bit from Rush's Entrez Nous--of course, I also thought Meisha stole material from Rush as well, so I'm obviously fucked and a closet Rush fan).
My only real complaint about this great record is that it for the most part audience recordings using mini-discs or similar technology. A great way to capture a moment, to be sure, but at times the recording is a little thin and you get the feeling that live this stuff would've peeled the crust away from your third eye. Now it just kind of tries to shake it off, and a decent job it does. Fidelity, though, is not something to be ashamed of, so hopefully at some point there will arrive a good multi-tracked recording of the kind of great psych this group is putting out.
Couldn't find what this is limited to but surely it's somewhere around 500-1,000.
There's also a purple vinyl version.
Listened to once. Record and cover in near-mint condition.
