Guru & Zero Makoto Mango Swordfish || ? || £10.64  $ € ¥  +tax & p+p Click for big pic You must pre-order this LP to ensure it actually happens! Deeply Gong-like - Strictly limited vinyl edition of 500 In a gatefold sleeve and may possibly pressed on Mango coloured vinyl. Although Guru & Zero are Cotton Casino and Makota Kawabata of the Acid Mothers Temple, both of whom appear alongside Daevid on the new Gong album 'Acidmotherhood', this album is completely different album altogether. Any of you who had difficulty placing Cotton and Makoto energetically within Gong on just the evidence of the Royal Festival Hall concert and the 'Acidmotherhood' album will almost certainly be struck by lightening bolt of realisation and understanding upon hearing this LP. A few years ago I might have described this LP as 'ambient-like', but really that is an overused, catch-all term that means less and less with the passing of time. The territory we are treading here is much more akin to the minimalism of Steve Reich or Phillip Glass, although there is so much going on all the time I hesitate to use that tag. The album also has definite reverberations of both Daevid's '22 Meanings' and 'Seven Drones' albums, and any lover of those two works will be mightily pleased with what is on display here.
