Mani Neumeier is the drummer from the classic kraut or prog or whatever band from the seventies. He fits tremendously well with the Acid Mothers. In fact, his performance makes this disc stand out from the discog of the hyper prolific Acid Mothers.
Even further, I just saw Acid Mothers Guru Guru live, and Mani's energy, skill, and intuition were a pleasure to experience. He had the entire room entranced. This collaboration is a killer psychedelic set. I call it a collaboration because Kawabata and Atsushi tailor their playing to Mani's jazzy, kraut drum playing so expertly. It is a great merging of styles. Hopefully, if you enjoy this, you will search out some of Guru Guru's seventies long players to catch Mani in his youth with his original band. Or maybe I'll have to post a Guru Guru album next.
from important records website:
Acid Mothers Guru Guru features Mani Neumeier from the legendary and influential German Krautrock group Guru Guru as well as Kawabata Makoto and Atsushi Tsuyama from Japan's holy Acid Mothers Temple. The result is a fiery fantasy filled, loud/soft, colorful trans-generational psychedelic collaboration.
The Acid Mothers Guru Guru started in a spontaneous session in March of 2006 in Nagoya, Japan. When the improvisation commenced the passionate excitement was clear to all in the room and it was then that this special psychedelic trio began. A Japanese tour was planned, an album was recorded and this recording is the fruits of this mutual musical admiration.
While all involved will admit that this is a dream collaboration, it was the Acid Mothers Temple guys who were worshiping Guru Guru in their teens. The Acid Mothers Guru Guru is two generations of psychedelic rock joining forces for the 21st century.
