Acid Mothers Temple & The Melting Paraiso UFO : Minstrel In The Galaxy

Riot Season

"Minstrel In The Galaxy" is the first Acid Mothers Temple & The Melting Paraiso UFO studio recording since the departure of vocalist / synth goddess Cotton Casino earlier this year. To replace Cotton's space whispers, AMT have recruited Japanese duo Afrirampo (who recently toured Europe with Sonic Youth) to contribute vocals to this album and they fill the void with ease. Musically you can forget the mind-melting guitar psychouts of previous AMT albums, this is the sound of a much darker AMT in comedown mode. Drones, acoustic guitars, misplaced voices and a beautiful 41 minute centre-piece title track all combine to make this their finest experimental studio work since "Absolute Freakout".
