Thought this live CD would be worth purchasing for me,specially because I got to see the Acid Mothers fairly recent.As a live release,it's not bad.Only problem is I could've SWORN I had seen a bio of this disc that noted it ran over 75 in length.Fact is it's only forty minutes long.Still,it sounds really good,plus I'll assume maybe they were support for another band.Total of five tracks here,"Acid Tokion 2000"(7:41),the way-out there "La Novia"(13:38),the familiar sounding "Pink Lady Lemonade"(8:06),the noisy "Speed Guru"(9:52)and "God Bless Acid Mothers Temple"(1:20).ACID MOTHERS TEMPLE freakin' RULES!!Space rockers,you have a wake-up call.YEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH!!

I bought this on an impulse 'cause I wanted to give ACID MOTHERS TEMPLE a shot, but this was a wrong move on my part. What we have here is a bootleg-quality recording of one of their lives shows in the US. The sound is just awful, and is a pretty crappy representation of the band, so this is one only for collector's or someone who was at the show.

Basically, don't do what I did. Start with something that's well-liked by fans like IAO CHANT FROM THE COSMIC INFERNO.

EDIT: After some consideration I bumped this up a star 'cause this does have a certain amount of value for the initiated, plus I like the band a bit more at this point.
