Release Info :

'Myth Of The Love Electrique' is the second ACID MOTHERS TEMPLE & THE MELTING PARAISO U.F.O. album released by Riot Season, following the relatively laidback 'Minstrel In The Galaxy' (REPOSECD07) in 2004. Musically sitting somewhere between their 1997 self titled debut album (PSF) and the classic 'out-there' double album 'Absolutely Freak Out (Zap Your Mind!!!)' (Staticresonance), 'Myth Of The Love Electrique' explores the many shades of the AMT sound, managing to be both wild and beautiful at the same time.

From the 'in the red' guitar driven album opener 'The Man From Giacobinid Meteor Comet', to some quieter acoustic passages during 'Five Dimensional Nightmare', to the total meltdown felt halfway through the 20 minute 'Love Electrique'. 'Myth Of The Love Electrique' fully explores the whole AMT sound for the first time in years. Live favourite 'Pink Lady Lemonade (May I Drink You Once Again?)', a staple of any AMT live show, is included here on an AMT album for the first time in its normal length, complete with added space whispers from new AMT girl Kitagawa Hao, who fills the now departed Cotton Casino's tiny shoes elegantly.

Tracklisting:

1. The Man From Giacobinid Meteor Comet
2. Five Dimensional Nightmare
3. Love Electrique
4. Pink Lady Lemonade (May I Drink You Once Again?)

PRICE / COST

(UK) CD £8.99 - Including standard first class postage

 

Reviews :

Returning to their Acid Mothers Temple & The Melting Paraiso UFO moniker, Kawabata Makoto and his fellow psych jam explorers have let loose one of their most varied, extensive discs to date. Acid Motherly Love is a prog rock banquet, which maintains its fuzzy psych credentials without losing a sense of narrative. Take the twenty-one minute three-parter 'Douchebag': it all starts off as a tranquil spoken word piece set against a backdrop of organ and acoustic guitar, only to switch to full-blown hard rocking sonic blitzkrieg, eventually winding down into a lengthy passage of feedback and oscillator tones. It's like the Grateful Dead tackling Rush's A Farewell To Kings. Probably. After all that, there's a bit of a comedown in the shape of 'Traitors With Beautiful Hearts', a sprawling four minutes of disconnected sound elements, and palate-cleansing loopiness that piles into 'Astro Elvis ESP', an all-out fuzz fest and ring modulator workout. Weirdest of all is set closer 'Johnny Johnny Jerusalem', a nutty a cappella piece featuring the kind of sound poem silliness you might hear from a jetlagged Jaap Blonk. BOOMKAT
