KAWABATA MAKOTO & MICHISHITA SHINSUKE "BASEMENT ECHO" CD
imprec196 - CD - $12.99 
Basement Echo is the historical meeting point of two generations of the Japanese underground. Kawabata Makoto, leader of The Acid Mothers Temple, and Michishita Shinsuke, leader of LSD March, are together here for the first time in a guitar duo.
Though Kawabata and Michishita are from the same scene the fact that they are from different generation means that they bring different energy to the collaborations. This fact is extremely exciting for Kawabata who refers to Michishita as "one of the most promising musicians in the Japanese Underground."
Both artists agree that Basement Echo was a step into the unknown with neither really knowing what the resulting sounds would be.
For Michishita the collaborations have been a dream come true. He describes Kawabata as having a "soul of rock that never burns out." After the recordings were complete the two friends sat down and raised a triumphant toast.
Recorded at Snowflake Sound in Sapporo in October of 2007. Totally improvised with no editing/overdubbing. Designed by Darryl Norsen.

O Si
Amos A Essere Duas Umbras? is comprised of two epic, deeply
meditative, spiritual and transcendental compositions. Track
one, titled "Ses Aintro ‘e mene finzas Si Ses In
S'Atter'Ala E Su Mundu" is the very first solo track
Kawabata has ever recorded on an acoustic guitar. Filtered
through 3 reverb units and a single delay this epic acoustic
track starts off droning but quickly builds with reverb drenched
and finger picked momentum light years away from any of Kawabata's
solo guitar work.
"...Weaving shimmering phrases and drones,
Makoto
brings to mind the soundscapes of Robert Fripp's more
recent solo releases, especially Fripp's collaboration
with Jeffrey Fayman, A Temple in the Clouds..." -Igloo |

Heaviest Acid Mothers record ever. . Kawabata went as far as to, half jokingly, compare this album to Sunn O)))). Our last Acid Mothers Temple full length quickly became many people's favorite and this one is sure to give it some serious competition. Just check out the mp3......(more) |

Brand new full length album from the Acid
Mothers Temple & The Melting Paraiso UFO featuring
their recent addition, female vocalist Kitagawa Hao.
Recorded over a period of four months at The Acid Mothers
Temple this is a very clean sounding and polished AMT. Kawabata Makoto admitted, only half joking, that this
has the “cleanest sound in AMT history! “ (more) |

Constellation Of Tragedy is
the sixth full length album from Japan's LSD March. Apt comparisons
are often made of LSD March being a cross between the Velvet Underground and Les Rallizes Denudes. (more) |

Heavy lyrical emotion transcends linguistic
barriers and Pirako's blown out fuzzy free-dream guitar
work is an alternate universe heavy Japanese shoegaze. They
are a forest at night drenched in echoing reverb and soaked
with deeply spiritual/emotional melodies. . (more) |
