About the album

Acid Mothers Temple have put out something like a hundred records since the mid-90s, so Kawabata Makoto's Japanese psychedelic collective clearly isn't troubled by the idea of moderation. In A Not C is a cheeky nod to Terry Riley's minimalist landmark In C, but where Riley's piece hovers, this one launches.

"In Astrochoid Not Chaosillate" builds slowly from a pulsing pattern into a full-blown cosmic freak-out, synths whooshing, guitars spiralling and the whole thing gathering speed until it seems to leave the atmosphere; side two picks up where side one leaves off. It's music for headphones and a comfortable chair. Riley wrote 53 short phrases; the band appear to have kept going well past phrase 53.
