 W/ Magick Potion\, Pearl Charles Acid Mothers Temple & The Melting Parai
 so U.F.O.. Formed in 1995 by Makoto Kawabata at the same time as the Aci
 d Mothers Temple Soul Collective. The group released its debut album in 
 1997 on PSF Records (Japan)\, and it was selected as one of the year’s b
 est albums in the The Wire magazine (UK). In 1998 the group played their
  first tours of the US and Europe. Since then the group has released a h
 uge number of albums on labels from many different countries. As of 2017
 \, the group has released around 80 albums. Every year since 1998\, they
  have toured extensively in the US and Europe\, and more recently have s
 tarted performing around Asia and in Japan too. The group has performed 
 in collaboration with many musicians including psychedelic originators G
 ong and Guru Guru\, Simeon (Silver Apples)\, Nik Turner (Hawkwind)\, and
  the Occitanian trad sinder Rosina de Peira. Japanese collaborators have
  included Afrirampo\, Tatsuya Yoshida (Ruins)\, Maso Yamazaki (Masonna)\
 , Seiichi Yamamoto (Boredoms)\, Jun Kuriyama (The Ox)\, and many others.
  To begin with the group had a floating line-up with contributions from 
 many members of the AMT Soul Collective. But as tours became more freque
 nt\, the group began to coalesce around a core touring line-up. Other ba
 nds were created with Acid Mothers Temple as part of their name (AMT & T
 he Cosmic Inferno\, AMT SWR\, AMT & The Space Paranoid\, AMT & Infinity 
 Rising Zero\, Acid Mothers Gong\, Acid Mothers Guru Guru\, Acid Moon Tem
 ple\, etc.)\, but AMT & The Melting Paraiso U.F.O. has continued to func
 tion as the mothership and main lineage for all our activities. In 2016\
 , 21 years since the group’s founding\, there was a major shift in the l
 ine-up and “Next Generation” was added to the name. We now view the firs
 t 20 years as chapter one in our story\, and we are now turning the page
  to start chapter two. The group played more than 100 shows in each year
 \, toured in Europe\, North America\, South America\, Oceania and Asia\,
  also Japan. They also played many festivals (Glastonbury Festival in UK
 \, Levitation in US and France\, Rock In Opposition in France\, Standon 
 Calling in UK\, Kuala Lumpur Experimental Film\, Video & Music Festival 
 in Malaysia\, LUC fest ÙFÈËÉ¢21⁄2Òô ̃·1 in Taiwan\, etc). During pandemi
 c\, they launched their official Bandcamp\, have released more than 60 a
 lbums (including many unreleased materials)\, and have toured in Japan i
 n each year. And they played the streaming festival “Levitation Sessions
 ”. They organized “Acid Mothers Olympic 2021” against “Tokyo Olympics 20
 21”\, they originated and played a new style of “music sports”. Finally 
 the group went to the first European tour in Autumn 2022 and North Ameri
 can tour in Spring and Autumn 2023\, after pandemic. The group conducted
  long tours in Europe in the spring and in the United States in the fall
  in 2024 and 2025. In 2026\, in addition to these tours\, they have been
  invited to perform at festivals in the Netherlands\, Australia\, New Ze
 aland\, and the United States. The current touring line-up is: Kawabata
