Dusted Reviews



Artist: Makoto Kawabata
Album: O Si Amos Sighire A Essere Duas Umbras
Label: Important Review date: Jul. 20, 2004




Whilst staying in Sardinia, off the west coast of Italy, Kawabata Makoto (leader of the prolific psychedelic Japanese collective Acid Mother’s Temple) had something approaching an epiphany, what he would later describe as “a spiritual climax.” What this entailed exactly, like all good myth creations, was kept fairly vague, but Kawabata states that these recordings represent one of the most important moments of his life and form a tribute to the place of its genesis.

O Si Amos Sighire A Essere Duas Umbras, which roughly translated means, Are We To Continue As Two Shadows, is comprised of two epic pieces, both deeply meditative and transcendental compositions, but also two very separate entities. The first track, Ses aintro ‘e mene finzaz si ses in s’atter’ala e su mundu, begins quietly enough with only the occasional Bailey-esque chord shape intervening. It soon enters into a more sustained series of chimes and string driven mantras, which recall the minimal psychedelic folk of Makoto’s sometime colleague, Richard Youngs. Using only an acoustic guitar, three reverb units and a delay machine, Kawabata traverses a huge amount of sonic territory, all compelling, before bringing the whole thing to a blissful shimmering wall of reverb soaked sound.

On the almost 45-minute title track, Makoto swaps his acoustic for an electric guitar, conjuring a wondrous minimal drone along the lines of Tony Conrad’s violin work; it draws the listener into its sonority, creating a tranquillity that begins to take over and numb the senses. The magnitude of Makoto’s self-discovery is driven home by the calmness of this ocean. Floating on a silver sea, the piece gradually glides its way up to the heavens, before returning once more to the water's translucence.

my ex boyfriend died in one four weeks ago. i loved him. really loved..

edit:
he didn't have any chance..

I have been in one, but I was not the driver. that was a lot of fun, my back hasn't been the same ever since. But who needs a back.

Wow.
I'm very sorry about this. That's very fresh.
My father died in a car accident when I was three years old...
I have been in several accidents, but they have all been minor.

I'm sorry to hear that.I hope that you're ok.

i think i'll never be ok again. but thanks.. trying to get over it

how long had you been with him?

3 yrs

Where there any other people involved?Of course it's impossible to know how you must feel.

i crashed into a parked car once.

I've been in alot of crashes and almost died couple of times.
I got run over by a car once and I got involved in a car accident which was quit serious... The car behind us was completely squished (we were riding in one of those big truck thingys and the car behind us just drove underneath our car.)

One of my friends got his head run over by a truck and survived, then had 4 crashes since. He's physically handicapped and has trouble moderating his voice & movement, but he's all there.

i'm very sorry for you cuetzpalin.. i hope you have some close people around who can offer you some support :)

well a cab once hit me but that was completely my fault as i was not watching where i was going. i did scream really loud though and made a fool of myself. pedestrians are idiots.

A car crashed into my bike a few days ago because he was pulling out and didn't turn his head.

yes i have had two accidents in my time, neither being my fault. the second one was bad enough to stop me driving all together and that was several years ago.

know someone who died in a horrific car smash. terrible things they are.

I went into the ditch about 30 times filming a movie once. Other than that. No.

cuetzpalin, sorry, babe. That sucks.

not after I got my license but before:

t-boned while pulling out of the driveway, our old house was on an extremely busy street. Luckily he hit his brakes sometime before and it only left a dent. It was on my passenger side.

the other one was getting rear ended at a red light. This one actually felt like it was really intense, but it barely pushed in the back end of the car. An unlicensed driver with no insurance.

on the way to la, our car hit a spot of ice and we spun out. luckily no cars were behind us, we came to a stop when we hit a mountain on the side of the highway, way past the emergency lane. This one was at the worst possible moment. There's nothing worse than parking valet in beverly hills and then having the valet attendant bring your car around, one that has a missing headlight, and massive damage up front. :(

Another time a drunk driver hit my dad's truck in the driveway. No one was in it, but the minivan that hit it did about three rolls and landed in a neighbor's front yard two houses down. They ran off, only to take responsibility later on.

Four almost accidents that I had: which would have probably killed me.

Taking my eyes off the road while street racing, at about 110 miles an hour, when I looked back I lost my place, and the car swerved a little, luckily I somehow regained control. Good thing we didn't crash, we had about six ecstasy pills in the car.

Another ecstasy related incident. Coming back from a rave, turning onto the highway, I nearly missed a car by literally six inches. at 70 mph it could have been bad. It didn't even register how close we were to death until the next morning, no one else in the car even noticed.

Letting my ex gf drive, she lost control of the car at about 60 mph, it was swerving uncontrolably, and I had to reach over and regain control. The car was too powerful for her to handle.

Another street racing incident. Going about 120, the road hits a blind curve, after the curve a car was turning, so I had to hit the brakes hard, and I went over the double yellow line before being able to regain control. Luckily no one was there.

i totaled several cars in 2 separate accidents

talk about j.g. ballard

don't ask...

I hate cars. My ex-girlfriend lost her two best friends in seperate accidents, my dad lost his girlfriend in one back in college, I lost an old friend (granted, one that I hadn't seen in about five years) in one a month ago. One of my best friends in high school hit a big rig while going 80 (him not the truck - he was a Neal Cassady-type driver) and was in a coma for weeks. Fucking hate um.

I've been a passanger in a minor fender-bender, and I've caused one. The one I caused was pretty bad. Turned left on a solid green while distracted and got nailed at 40 mph on the right side. Luckily, no one was in the passager seat. No one got hurt.

Also, I saw a van turn 90 degrees from the left lane of a busy freeway and cross all 4 lanes, miraculously not getting hit. He did hit the wall on the right side, though. No idea what happened there or why it did that.

by "sober", do you mean "horribly hangover"?

My hangovers are piling up at the moment.Cant catch up.

I've been in 5 or 6 wrecks with my insane friends.....they were all pretty minor, but I did have my head hit off the dashboard and my glasses flew off.

Well Kegmama we're in L.A. we are bound to crash.
