History Music / AcidMothersTemple

* NeoclassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly: They mix PsychedelicRock, SpaceRock, NoiseRock, ProgressiveRock, {{Krautrock}}, {{Jazz}}, and occasionally FolkRock together is one psychedelic blend, and it kicks ''ass''.

* EpicRocking: It's telling that 20 minutes is normal for the group. Most of their songs lie between the 10-20 minute range, while a few push the 30 minute mark. "Anthem of the Space" is 43 minutes, about the length of a regular album (though it's still followed up with the 10-minute "Poppy Rock"). They have done two reworkings of Music/{{Gong}}'s "Master Builder", on of which, released on the album ''IAO Chant from the Cosmic Inferno'', reaches ''51 minutes''. "Pink Lady Lemonade" is frequently rerecorded with a different length each time, with the most impressive being "Pink Lady Lemonade ~ You're from Inner Space", which hits '''66:11''' and is split up into 4 parts, which is uncommon for most of their songs of this nature (though Part 1 is still impressive at nearly 32 minutes). ''The Penultimate Galactic Bordello Also the World You Made'' is the most extreme example; It's 4 discs, around 4 hours long, and [[UpToEleven has only four songs]]. ''Yeah.'' The third track, "What's Your Name?", is probably the longest track they've recorded at an hour and 10 minutes.

->"In a non-stop stream of thrilling noise, they segue from supercharged stomp-rock, through doomy choral chanting and frazzled go-go, to a thundering melee of atonal freakouts. Then on to a pulsating, echo-drenched disco-rock groove, which morphs into a motorik rhythm too rapid even for the autobahn, works itself into a squalling frenzy, breaks cover as a kind of galloping, syncopated, Underworld-with-rabies affair, and flows into a long, chiming trance number climaxing in a collective instrumental howl."

Acid Mothers Temple are a Japanese GenreBusting SpaceRock band formed in 1995 by guitarist and only constant member Kawabata Makoto. He formed the band with the intention of making "extreme trip music" influence by ProgressiveRock, Karlheinz Stockhausen, and {{Krautrock}}. [[ArchivePanic They have released over a hundred records since their formation.]] To make matters worse, the same name isn't even used for the same albums; As the above quote shows, they have released records as "Acid Mothers Temple & The Melting Paraiso U.F.O.", "Acid Mothers Temple & the Cosmic Inferno", "Acid Mothers Temple SWR", and several others, kind of like what Music/SilverMtZion does (Though, unlike Silver Mt. Zion, they have reused these names for their albums, with "Melting Paraiso U.F.O. being most commonly used).
