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.
