The always busy psychedelic rock troupe Acid Mothers Temple & The Melting Paraiso UFO just released two albums recently and they also have one lined up for December, so let’s see what should we know about these new recordings:

Paralyzed Brain, out on CD on the Italian Off Set Records label, was released for the band’s current EU & UK tour (that I unfortunately did not notice earlier and which only has a couple of UK dates left… but check the tour schedule at the end of the post anyways). It comes in a wonderfully weird digipak jacket (designed by Cristian Scarola) featuring chickens, eggs, UFOs and a huge cat and contains three lengthy tracks that were all recorded in 2016-2017 and mastered by James Plotkin. Currently the album is available only at the shows in a limited edition of 200 copies, but normal distribution and a vinyl version will follow in 2019.

Also released in October and also on an Italian label Psychedelic Battles – Volume Five is, as the title suggests, the fifth part in VE Recordings‘ series that features split releases of psychedelic rock groups. This time they recruited AMT for another rendition of Flying Teapot, their cover of the classic Gong track, while the vinyl’s B side comes with three songs from Italy’s own Lee Van Cleef.

And the last one is another split release: titled Trails To The Cosmic Vibrations, it takes us to Singapore, where Ujikaji Records enlisted AMT and local experimental rock group The Observatory. Scheduled for a late December release, the 12″ will feature one track by each band:
