    Iheartokiohotel, there are lots of versions of Pink Lady Lemonade and all of them are different. To me the best variation of this theme is on Myth Of Love Electrique'2006

    yesterday morning

    dunno if you guys noticed, but the Pink Lady Lemonade riff (yeah, that one) changes around halfway through, and changes back again. a bit of a mindfuck how i've not managed to notice it for so long.

    'Son of a Bitches Brew' just WOW! They caught the main note of electric Miles and just turned it into psychodelia. The cover art is... too... mainstream =D

    After all these years, Univers Zen ou De Zéro à Zéro is still my favorite (and Cotton Casino's finest hour). La Nòvia, Mantra of Love, Electric Heavyland, and Pataphisical Freak Out MU!! round off that era of classic AMT for me. So for anyone still looking for a place to start, well, there you go. The Ripper at the Heaven's Gates of Dark really is one of the best things they've done in a while, though. (& if we want to include albums from the Cosmic Inferno, IAO Chant, Starless and Bible Black Sabbath, and Journey Into the Cosmic Inferno are immense. I still have my IAO Chant tour shirt, though it is a little bit worn out at this point... Also: everybody should hear the Do Whatever You Want, Don’t Do Whatever You Don’t Want!! compilation.)

    Saw them a few nights ago when they came to Toronto. Unbelievable. They lit the place on fire, seriously unreal performance. What a treat it was to see them.
