Sounding a lot more like Acid Mothers Temple than Kinski, this collborative track from the two psych-rock bands' split on Sub Pop will likely hit the spot for anyone in need of an Indian trance injection, stat. As it happens, it's a beautiful exercise in the kind of heady drone that does wonders in the halls of a mountaintop sacred temple, and is currently in vogue everywhere under the sun, under the ground. Sitar, psychedelic swirling and falling star effects work together to form just as much spacey ambience as you'd expect from this crowd, though at this point, I suppose some credit should be given at how spot-on their approximation of the Sun guru sound is. Truthfully, this music comes out flat and forgettable more often than not (at least on record), and that these guys are able to hypnotize seemingly at the drop of a tab speaks volumes. "
