So AMT has a lot of albums. Some good, some bad, a few unlistenable. While this will probably end up being a VERY small market, I want to get a thread together that will consolodate all their stuff and describe whether its worth listening to or not.
Legend(of Dragoon):
:gwa: = Awesome
:) = Pretty good time
:mellow: = Its ite/alright
:sad: = Not that good, only for AMT fans
:crazy: = Not that good, not even for AMT fans
In almost-alphabetical order:
41st Century Splendid Man [EP]
Not impressed....mostly jamming which isn't as good as their top jamming.
Absolutely Freak Out (Zap Your Mind!!)
Acid Mothers Temple + The Melting Paraiso U.F.O (Debut album) :sad:
I only listened once so I'll withhold judgement but I didn't like it.
Crystal Rainbow Pyramid Under The Stars
Dude, the 'title' track has fucking sax and acoustic guitar in it. That's like an AMT first. The other two tracks are pretty good too.
Does the Cosmic Sheperd Dream of Electric Tapirs? :gwa:
One of their few albums with actual songs (as in, they don't just jam for 30 minutes at a time). Also houses Dark Star Blues, which is a 30 minute jam, but one of their best imo.
Electric Heavyland
Have You Seen the Other Side of the Sky :mellow:
Its average I think. Then again idk I listened to it while reading webcomics you know how that can get...
In C :)
Not bad. Two jams and an ambient track. Not too long an album either so I can't complain.
La Novia
I like. Can't remember much at the moment but I remember liking it, or at least liking the 40 min title track.
Magical Power From Mars
Mantra of Love
Minstrel In The Galaxy
New Geocentric World of Acid Mothers Temple
St. Captain Freak Out and the Magic Bamboo Request :sad:
Kinda disappointing because the sound quality is bad. Its also a very long album that sounds similar in each song with some exceptions. Its one of my favorites though, but really trying on any person's patience.
Starless and Bible Black Sabbath :)
Two tracks, a long jam and a shorter "freak out" as many AMT fans like to call it. I find it very good.
Troubadours From Another Heavenly World
Univers Zen Ou de Zero a Zero
Don't remember this one enough...
Wild Gals a Go-Go :)
A pretty solid album, kinda like Cosmic Sheperd in that there's actual songs.
Thats the albums I have. I haven't listened to about half though. So I'd appreciate help in writing a review for each, which I plan to elaborate on but at the moment I just wanted to get the topic up.

I saw them live in 2005. They were absolutely amazing. One of the best things I have ever ever ever seen. I also tried to strike up a conversation with the bass player the next day, but he seemed really freaked out by me and just kind of screamed and went away. I've never thought that their recorded material that I've heard was anything like what I saw live, however, and I don't often listen to any of their records.
