They are little bits like something else and a whole lot like nothing ever. Some really incredible musicians. Mind expanding and then some. Yes it is a wild trip and what a fun ride.

every iteration of AMT is amazing, discovered this band in my late teens purely by choosing a random cd without listening first and was blown away. thank you for existing.
Favorite track: Diamond Eyes Are Hurt.

Worth the wait, what a fantastic album! Since seeing this lineup perform in 2019 I have been hoping for a new recording of Cometary Orbital Drive, and here it is! Jyonson's vocal melodies are pure magic. I can't get enough of Diamond Eyes Are Hurt, easily my favorite AMT song since Flying Teapot.

How can you not love every Acid Mothers album that graces this earth. They are mildly put, troubadours of a vast universe scattered with exploding stars and cosmic rays of colors that sweetly transform the space-scape.
Andy Goz
I love that this album has, for me, an unexpected depth of hidden beauty... Diamond Eyes are Hurt is my fave but the opening song has the classic hallmarks of a live crowd pleaser!

The career of Acid Mothers Temple has been an interesting and varied one. With well over 200 releases to their name since 1996, the band have certainly put in the hard yards. Recent times have seen a resurgence in their underground cult popularity.
Between Autumn 2014 and December 2015, core AMT members Tsuyama Atsushi (bassist / vocalist) and Shimura Koji (drums) left the band. Original members Makoto Kawabata & Hiroshi Higashi took this as their chance to create a new line-up and that this was a good chance to refresh the band with new members.
The last Acid Mothers Temple album released by Riot Season was 'Reverse Of Rebirth in Universe' in 2018 which was incredibly well received, and is now into it's fourth vinyl pressing. For that album the newly settled line up featuring new boys Wolf (bass), Satoshima Nani (drums) and Jyonson Tsu (vocals) re-recorded old AMT classics and a few new jams. The album and subsequent world tour were incredibly well received, not only by long time AMT diehards but also a whole new crowd who were discovering the band for the first time, either via the album of the show, which included the bands first appearance at Glastonbury Festival in summer 2019.
Now we finally get to 'Chosen Star Child's Confession', the latest studio album from the band which should be considered the genuine 'first album' of this new line-up with the added presence of Geoff Leigh (ex Henry Cow)
In the bands own words ...
"We had recording session with Geoff Leigh (ex. Henry Cow) at the beautiful Sam and Rachel's recording studio in London in July 2018 (with work completed back in Japan in 2019). It was the first year of the new vocalist Jyonson. We recorded some our standards and classics also new jam session. We found many musical direction, daydream psychedelic, dubby jazz groove, Si-Fi trance, experimental exotic chaos, etc... it's the truly beginning of Acid Mothers Temple's new era!"

Psych Legends AMT camped their magical mystery tour in Lima, Peru in 2017 and released this mind-bending document of acid-drenched, lysergic Space-Rock while they were there. What you get is an hour's worth of Freakouts that only this Japanese collective can provide, brimming with Far Eastern instrumentation, kosmische grooves, exploratory guitar and synth oscillations. It remains super-charged and infectious throughout. The musical equivalent of a gateway to another dimension. Logen Ninefingers
