THREE musical generations MERGE!
TOTAL MUSIC!!
POSTINDUSTRIAL NU-PSYCHEDELIA at it's most intense & beguiling
What happens when the standard bearers of 21st Century psychedelia, Acid Mothers Temple merge with experimental originators like the maverick Anglo/French collective, Gong?
TOTAL MUSIC!
Post industrial nu-psychedelia at it's most intense & beguiling!
Gong return to the creative fire once more, to be reborn & from the crucible comes an album like no other in their 35-year history.
This was the glorious chaos that had to happen. When Gong takes off nothing can match it! It lights up the body, heart & brain like no other magickal potion.
In February 03, KAWABATA MAKOTO & COTTON CASINO (AMT Japan) together with guitarist, JOSH POLLOCK (University of Errors SFO) joined gong originators DAEVID ALLEN & GILLI SMYTH plus drummer son ORLANDO ALLEN & Indonesian bassist DHARMAWAN BRADBRIDGE in Byron Bay, Australia to record a new GONG CD together.
Says DAEVID ALLEN: "GONG is reborn all over again. This album is like no other in GONG's 35-year history. For the first time there is no sax and three wildly different guitarists. Nor is there a bass player on half the tracks!"
Weird? This one isn't even a part of the ZERO MYTHOLOGY!
RANDOM QUOTES FROM FORMER UNBELIEVERS:
1. This was the chaos that had to happen. Gong has gone back into the fire to becum remade. An amazing transformation from (the last gong CD) ZERO TO INFINITY!!
2. When a GONG jam takes off, there is nothing can match it! It lights up the body, heart & brain like no other magickal potion. THIS album was SO worth waiting for!!
3. I support Gongs freedom and skill in deviating outside of The Preconceived. They have my support whenever they experiment with their being. It is good art. We ordered the whole pie.
4. The source of Gong lies in the quality of the listening audience. Many brilliant people play in GONG in their minds.

Reviews
One morning Daevid Allen had a powerful premonitory vision while meditating: he should combine Gong and Acid Mothers Temple, the West and the East, the old and the young. Before this he had already been gigging with Kawabato and Cotton as Guru & Zero. Acid Motherhood features a whole new Gong line-up, apart from Allen, of course. Also Gilly Smith guests on one track. After the 2001 tour Daevid wanted to make some changes to the band that had became too safe and a bit boring. And this renewal is very refreshing, I must say. This still sounds like Gong, but now that the band has been strengthened with the Japanese freak department and other new musicians, it has certainly gained some new stamina. The album is revolutionary in many ways compared to the other Gong albums. There is bass only on less than half of the tracks. There is no saxophone. There are three lead guitarists on the album. There is some humour, deep wisdom, taking on an attitude and great music on the album. The most outstanding tracks feature "Supercotton" with very funny lyrics, "Bazuki Logix", a beautiful instrumental by Kawabato Makoto, a melancholic ballad called "Waving" and 13 and half minutes long, almost cacophonic and frightening blast "Makototen". The band has regained the certain anarchistic touch, but without lowering the quality of songs and the skilful playing. I don't know if the musicians on Acid Motherhood are going to continue the collaboration in the future, since Cotton is now going solo and having her own tour, AMT will continue on its own path etc., but I'm really glad they were able to made and release this album, at least. What ever the case, there is some kind of a Gong tour happening in the Autumn, and hopefully we will get them to play in Finland, as well. Especially all the Gong and AMT fans should really buy this new, excellent CD.
