Seems like they're also playing up the 2012 aztec/mayan cosmic apocalypse angle, and hence "last". Fits in nicely with their UFO/cosmic consciousness thing. Maybe the only band that could get away with such shenanigans and hold my interest. I don't know their music very well aside from some youtube videos, i'm looking to go in with few reference points and have my mind melted.

We got tickets, same week as Lee's show in LA.

I'll let you know after Friday night.

AMT was pretty rad last night. Heavy psych avant space rock w/ noisy bits & eccentric vocal improv. Their new record, Son of a Bitches Brew, is supposedly more jazz influenced, which I think to them just means more abstract open ended jamming and occasional soprano sax blasts. Highlight was extended Pink Lady Lemonade, the only song of theirs I recognize, and perhaps their best, but if you're a long time die hard AMT fan maybe it's passé? I recorded the whole thing, seems like it turned out well, so hopefully within the week I will upload it here. Their current lineup is five guys, and is listed on their website.

There is an audience recording of that show over at dimeadozen. Set-list and line-up as listed on that torrent:


1. intro jam >
2.
3. Pink Lady Lemonade > Cometary Orbital Drive > PLL contd.
4. Dark Stars in the Dazzling Sky
5. Encore break
6. Chinese Flying Saucer

Tsuyama Atsushi: bass, soprano sax, vox
Higashi Hiroshi: synthesizer, vox
Shimura Koji: drums
Kawabata Makoto: guitar, vox
Tabata Mitsuru : guitar, maratab

Well, maybe it's not so critical I upload mine then, but I suppose the more the merrier. A surround sound mix perhaps? We ended up buying the Pink Lady Lemonade ...You're From Inner Space 2LP reissue on pink/black bicolored vinyl ltd to 500 copies, and an LP from openers Pond who are 2/3 or 3/4 or some ratio of Tame Impala (who are awesome).

My edit is done, waiting for some bandwidth to upload overnight. Made up my own titles, edited to five tracks including soundcheck as opposed to the six listed above.

Here is my recording of Acid Mothers Temple 2012/04/13 @ The Echo, Los Angeles, CA

dimers can upload to dime if they wish, or not if they don't wish



I don't know the real names of most of these songs, but enjoyed making them up based on AMT's current record title "Son Of A Bitches Brew", transcriptions of their chants, their penchant for reworking classic rock titles, their fondness for psychedelic artwork featuring female nudes, a line from Homer's Odyssey (I think), and their 2012 Mayan-Apocalypse-themed tour poster.

1. (soundcheck)
2. Son of A Bitches Brew/Tsuyama Runs the VooDoo Down
3. Shine On You Crazy Diamond Raga (accapella)/Ass-Tronime Dominae-trix/Set The Controls For The Ass Of The Nun/Carefull with That Ass, Eugene
