What Is Your Favourite Acid Mothers Temple Track Then?
 

Oh fuck I love AMT. I think the 4 disc Penultimate Galactic Bordello is absolute ace (and sadly overlooked). Magical Power From Mars sends me to...well, Mars. Ah fuck it, I love all the albums of theirs that I have, and I have many.

But my favourite track from them has to be Dark Star Blues from Does The Cosmic Shepherd Dream Of Electric Tapirs? I will discuss this more if this thread goes anywhere.

(But does she keep singing "Ziggy plays guitar"?)

What's your favourite AMT track then?

All of Electic Heavyland is a three way tie, so I'll just say "Phantom of Galactic Magnum" since it's the longest (slightly) and the opus, and the best of the three titles.

Heavyland was my very first AMT. Love it. Fuckin recorded loud, that one. Succint, to the point. But their real space-outs are more fun for me.

Overall, I feel that way, but as heavy goes they can't really be beat. When I saw them live they went the heavy way, and yeah, I would have liked some of the trance-psych, but damn, watching those geezers wail over anything Slayer could do was impressive. I've seen Painkiller too, and AMT were HEAVIER!

I just fucken adore their style, ......their attitude. Many see the multiple releases per year as yieling lots of low quality / filler. I do not share this view.

Anthem of the Space

" I think the 4 disc Penultimate Galactic Bordello is absolute ace (and sadly overlooked)."

I think I've said this exact same thing on every AMT thread we've had. It's by far my favorite release by them! Disc one! Oh my god. That's probably my favorite track, to boot. It gets into this insane, beautiful synthy part at the end that just blows my mind.

Agreed - disc 4 is my fav, followed by 1, then 2, then 3. This is not to say that I dislike 3. In fact, I played What's Your Name tonight, loud, and my 19 month old son loved it, hahahaha.....

i like "Woman from a Hell" quite a bit.

astral projection from holy shangrila

loved and confused

Track 2 from this album

probably pink lady lemonade. when i saw them do that it was pretty damn amazing.

Yeah, maybe Anthem Of The Space is the best one. What a great riff.....then it decays to a noisy bluesy bit, then goes all dreamy and ambient.....operatic even......before suddenly re-engaging with the original riffage to close things out......I dunno.

Fuck I love AMT. I want to be AMT.








In fact......I am AMT.

Not really familiar with their work but might go see them this weekend.

Live review I wrote about AMT's Tucson show.

Last night was my first exposure to AMT. The guitarist obviously was the show stopper. I saw shades of Thurston in his playing as well.

There wasn't much fanfare which was a relief. Seemed to be a bit of humor in what they where doing as well. The electronics were an excellent touch as well...

I want more

I've never caught AMT before, thinking about going this time around. Their page is calling it their "Last Tour in US & Canada 2012". It also seems like they have some CDs called things like "Last Tokyo Show" from several years ago, that their understanding of the meaning of the word "last" might be different than mine, and that they like to play semantic pranks and cosmic jokes. Do they mean "most recent" or "final"?

i remember reading that there were so few people at the "last tokyo show" gig
that they vowed never to play there again. not sure if they have or not.
i'm really not sure if this tour will be the last but i would very much recommend you check them out!
