Guitarists Jean-François Pauvros (who has collaborated with the likes of Arto Lindsay, Keiji Haino and Noël Akchoté) and Makoto Kawabata (of Acid Mothers Temple, 'f course) met this year for a European tour, and recorded this 5-track, 61'40" album in Paris. I wonder if they ever met before, because the sinergy between the two is remarkable. Both mostly play their guitars with a bow, with or without effects, and the result is, well, as trippy as you'd expect from a modern psychedelic troubadour like Makoto. The first three tracks almost sound like movements of a larger piece, as they display a rising climax: from the moody and subdued bowings of the first one, through the increasing screeches of track 2, to the electric storm of of the third one, where the wailing feedback eventually settles to a metallic cloud, as rich in tones as an organ drone. After such a progression, the other two tracks naturally tend to add more of the same, but it's a sturdy addi(c)tion. After collapsing to near silence, the fourth performance weaves drones sounding like distant passing cars, then transfigured by delays and loops in a cosmic broth, which soon leads to another distorted crescendo. Hendrix's ghost is finally summoned in the last track, with the more aggressive, electric and "rock" elements ebbing and flowing in an exhausting wall of sound. Even if cosmic '70's guitars are not your cup of tea, you'll probably find yourself guilty of a few air-pick up/air pedal, until some orgasmic scream closes the album.
