What we’ve got here is an incredible set of crazy psychedelic music courtesy of Pikachu from Afrirampo and Makoto Kawabata from the Acid Mothers Temple & the Melting Paraiso UFO. If you’ve spent any time here at this blog, than my love for all things Japanese, noisy, psychedelic and out there, should be no surprise at all.
While Makoto Kawabata (guitar and vocals) has been one of my favorite musicians in the universe for a long time now, Pikachu (drums/harmonica and vocals) has been a more recent fascination for me. I first became interested in Afrirampo due to their association with the Acid Mothers Temple and quickly became a huge fan of the chaotic duo. With a pedigree like this, I nearly flipped head over heels when I first ran across this short, but sweet, set by these two noise makers. There was a super, duper long shot that this duo wouldn’t deliver the goods, but luckily that’s not the case. These two create an awesome racket that’s sure to please anyone who might be remotely interested in psychedelic music.

P.S. Ignore the *.md5 file if you’re downloading the flac files. That *.md5 was for the original *.shn files. I converted the files to *.flac because that’s the format that I prefer. Sorry for the confusion.
