Label: Ektro

Acid Mothers Temple needs no introduction. Anthem of the Space, the band’s second disc for Ektro, is yet another entry in the collective’s massive and maddening discography of Japanese psychedelic lunacy. It also flaunts the more rocking side of the group’s recent incarnation. The two extended jams on this album are performed by Acid Mothers’ new-ish lineup, in which Mitsuru Tabata (ex-Zeni Geva; ex-YBO2; ex-Boredoms), Koji Shimura (ex-High Rise; ex-White Heaven; Miminokoto; Jutok Kaneko), Futoshi Okano (ex-Ghost; ex-Subvert Blaze), and familiar AMT face Hiroshi Higashi get freaky with mainman Makoto Kawabata.
