Acid Mothers Temple And The Cosmic Inferno - Starless And Bible Black Sabbath (2006)

I've always been a big fan of Acid Mothers Temple.  They have a super energetic live show and really are the current "Kings of Japanese Psychedelia."  Their only problem is they really put out too damn many records.  They seem to have like 10 releases a year which makes it really hard to just let one of their albums sink in.  There are so many of them it gets really hard to distinguish one album from the next.  Starless And Bible Black Sabbath isn't really much different from the rest I suppose.  Although there's just something about it that keeps me coming back to it in their gigantic sea of a discography.  It has this sleazy groove to it's 35 minute repeated riff that just takes me to another place...
