Riot Season 黑胶唱片和CD

Review: Riot Season's vinyl reissue campaign brings new life to Acid Mothers Temple's 2004 album Mantra of Love. Makoto Kawabata and the band deliver an intense journey where layers of heavy white noise are met by cosmic effects and powerful guitar solos in a fearless fusion of psych-rock and experimental sounds. The vinyl comes in a limited edition cream colour and includes carefully restored archival photos held in Acid Mothers Temple's Osaka vaults. With fresh remastering by James Plotkin, this release revives a standout in AMT's catalogue for devoted fans and new listeners alike.

Review: Oli Heffernan's ever-evolving project, Ivan The Tolerable, joins Riot Season for two captivating albums that explore the beauty of entropic drift. Recorded swiftly as a quintet, Heffernan enlisted Christian Alderson on drums, John Pope on double bass, Kevin Nickles on flute and saxophone and Ben Hopkinson on electric piano. The first album was Vertigo, a dense and disorienting work reminiscent of Sun Ra meets Exploding Star Orchestra. In contrast, Water Music evokes serene landscapes with sounds of waves, creaking hulls, and gentle winds, blending influences from Laraaji and Natural Information Society. Bob Fischer of Electronic Sound Magazine describes Water Music as a "beautifully soothing psychedelic jazz album" perfect for a summer daydream.
