Acid Mothers Temple leader Makoto Kawabata joins Scottish
minimalist Richard Youngs for this somber and meditative
collection. Kawabata contributes finely picked, crisp, and
shimmering guitar, while Youngs lays down a groundwork of organ
or autoharp. Of the five tracks, all untitled, only two have
lyrics. The leadoff track is the most traditionally
song-oriented, with Youngs repeating the refrain "There's so
much beauty now" while Kawabata's bright and jangling acoustic
guitar weaves a hypnotic tapestry. Elsewhere, long drones of
autoharp and organ swirl about with sampled, wordless voices
and Makoto's almost British folk-sounding guitar work (often
recalling Bert Jansch or even Richard Thompson), making the
album seem almost like one extended piece of music. While this
collaboration is a worthy addition to the catalog of both
musicians, it will surely appeal more to fans of Richard
Youngs' minimalism over fans of Kawabata's speed-fueled
psychedelic freakouts via cid Mothers Temple.
