Release Info:
Nine years after it’s initial release,
'The Ripper At The Heaven's Gates Of Dark' is back. The original black
vinyl and CD editions sold out pretty quick, and have been a constant
source of repress requests ever since. So, at Makoto’s personal
request here it is. And I agree with him that it’s definitely the
best AMT studio album from that short lived four piece line up.
With the exception of the album's opener
'Chinese Flying Saucer' and it's unashamedly obvious musical
references to Led Zeppelin II (hello 1969!) the rest of the album
locks into a much more laid-back groove than on recent AMT releases.
This dynamic shift is best displayed on the 22 minute jam, 'Shine On
You Crazy Dynamite' and also the album's closer 'Electric Death
Mantra'. The band opt for less frantic explosions of electric guitar
overload and fuzz, replacing those elements with a more epic, blissed-out
and at times brooding Japanese psychedelia, with more emphasis on
acoustic guitars, sitar, organ, synthesiser and at times, really
trippy vocals (most prevalent on 'Back Door Man Of Ghost Rails Inn'),
recalling the twisted psychedelics of early Pink Floyd. Yet still,
their sound remains so expansive that it is easy to become totally
immersed in this album.
Epic in proportions, cloaked in a cosmic
haze and shimmering in a synth utopia. 'The Ripper At Heaven's Gates
Of Dark' maintains AMT's status as masters of out-of-this-world music
and reveals their darker side of the moon.
