Jennifer Gentle + Kawabata Makoto
THE WRONG CAGE
Review (taken from allmusic.com)
by Ned Raggett"Besides leading his main band,
Acid Mothers Temple, and plenty of other side projects,
Makoto Kawabata has carried out a number of collaborations over the years; this one, taken from a live show in Italy in May 2002, finds him with the young psych act Jennifer Gentle. In many ways it's very much Jennifer Gentle's show — of the three songs on the short release, the two that take up the most time are extended versions of tracks from their first two albums. "Bring Them," originally from
I Am You Are, makes for a full-on neo-stoner masterpiece. The
Isacco/
Alessio rhythm team, with the addition of
Massimo on keyboards, creates a perfect zone-out vibe that
Doors fans could appreciate, but it's the chaotic scream and swirl of
Kawabata and
Marco's guitars — building, intertwining, and exploding as the arrangement intensifies — that really sends things to the heights.
Kawabata's sky-soaring solo ten minutes, in particular, are jaw-droppingly great. Meanwhile, "Couple in Bed by a Green Flashing Light" from
Funky Creatures Lane becomes a wondrous thing indeed, an acid-tribal groove with strange, squealed vocals and some brilliant collective work from the band that
Kawabata's contribution helps take to a higher level. It's loud, intense, and thrilling all at once. In the middle is a brief piece from
Kawabata on his own, "Man From Mu," played on sarongi rather than guitar and demonstrative of his skill at using traditional instruments in modern settings. Though short at just over half an hour,
The Wrong Cage is well worth the investigating."
It was released by JG own label, and it's listed as "sold out", I assume that means also "out of print", right?
