Infinity That Wasn't

by Kawabata Makoto

supported by

moonagedaydream75 Been a fan of Makoto and his projects for over twenty years and, honestly, this is the best solo album he's ever and done and that's a high bar. Favorite track: X Stands For Undead.

dibble12 hey to Kawabata Makoto, how often do you play drums on stuff too? this is great! i love the way tracks two and three open out. very very nice Favorite track: Opus ∞ 00.

fridge46 Another superb release from the ever expanding musical universe of this drone/guitarist maestro. Love is solo work as much as his Acid mothers work Favorite track: X Stands For Undead.

William Denton Up on top of the mountain in pandemic isolation, the master does another wonderful solo work, with hypnotic keyboard riffs and wild guitar sounds. Favorite track: X Stands For Undead.

about

To me, there's always been a world of difference between Kawabata Makoto's solo work and his group work with Acid Mothers Temple. His solo works have always been minimalist, spiritual, energy accumulating and inward looking, whereas AMT is wild party music, a cosmic outgoing, a burst of great energy. His solo work is avant garde classical folk music whereas AMT are a rock n roll band from the end of the universe.

Then this landed in my inbox and burned that rule down. On "Infinity That Wasn't" Makoto has become a band, multi tracking his own drums, keys, guitars and electronics. It goes far beyond any convention. The epic opener ending up furious guitar shreds dueling over hypnotic organ riffs like Can replaced Irmin with Philip Glass.
