   • The first ever Kawabata Makoto's Mainliner tour kicks off next Thursday in Liverpool. Hope some of you can make it down to one or two of the gigs
     
     KAWABATA MAKOTO'S MAINLINER is ...
     
     Kawabata Makoto : Guitar (ACID MOTHERS TEMPLE)
     Kawabe Taigen : Bass, Voice (BO NINGEN)
     Shimura Koji : Drums (ACID MOTHERS TEMPLE)
     
     One of the most celebrated Japanese Underground bands have returned! It may
     have taken over 12 years, but Kawabata Makoto, guitar guru and head honcho
     in Acid Mothers Temple, has finally decided to get his celebrated
     'psychedelic solid free attack group' back together. Joining original
     Mainliner members Kawabata Makoto (motorpsycho guitar) and Koji Shimura
     (drums) is new recruit Kawabe Taigen (bass/vocals) and the trio still kick
     up one hell of a sonic racket.
     
     Confusion surrounds the exact details of the recording, but they seem to
     date from December 2011, and from Kawabata's mountain top temple
     studio-cum-home. The man himself, as always, is shying away from sharing too
     many of the magick details about the Mainliner rebirth. And the stark,
     minimal black with gold sleeve keeps the mystery intact, apart from the
     grainy band photo on the rear.
     
     All said, 'Revelation Space', is a comeback statement of intent. And it's
     firmly in the same 'in the red / raw' camp as the original trio's classic
     'Mellow Out'. From the initial speaker shaking feedback burst of opener
     'Revelation Space', right through to the closing 20-minute epic 'New Sun'
     (which showcases Taigen's otherworldly howl perfectly) there is no let up in
     the brutal delivery.
     
     This will no doubt delight those Mainliner diehards who never thought they'd
     see the day again, and all those with a love of over the top guitar howls
     and punishing feedback levels, but always under pinned by some righteous
     grooves.
