| 'freak out crazy music' |
| This one is for the guy who came up to me last week at the Slits McCarren show and requested Acid Mothers Temple - you know who you are. NYC was one of the final stops on the lengthy first tour of the Cosmic Inferno line-up in 2005, with the band joined on drums by Steve Lohman - a veteran, by a circuitous route, of local hard core nutters Sheer Terror. Kawabata Makoto gave the audience a choice - the band could either play free jazz "like Sonny Sharrock" or "just freak out crazy music".. Naturally the vote was overwhelming for the latter, and that was what we got, with a vengeance. What I give you here is the final piece, 20 minutes long - the "IAO Chant" - which borrows the popular Gong 'Om' riff, and morphs into the over the top guitar-destroying 'Speed Guru'. Playing before AMT were their tourmates for this leg NYC band The Occasion, since dubbed 'country-prog' in the UK. They were a much calmer proposition, but did get into wider aural experimentations at times, as in the first clip which is the first part of the song 'The Maiden'. An unusual feature of The Occasion is Sara Shaw who manipulates loops of strange noises through an industrial strength tape player. I've also included the uptempo final song of their set 'The Deserters'. |
