Details: Amazon.ca Psychedelic mystery nomads from Japan led by Masaki Batoh, Ghost has slowly built a following among psych, post-rock, mope-rock, shoegazing and hippie crowds with their Amon Duul-ish acoustic jams that often (d)evolve from Nick Drake sadness (and bells) into howling frenzy. The intensity of their performances can astound, and you can certainly hear their influence on the Elephant 6 collective and bands such as Tower Recordings. This first LP from 1990 (not released domestically until 1997), sounds like the others, and, like Amon Duul I, if you like it you'll like them all. Of course all the AD I records came from a single performance. --D. Strauss Product Description In 1984 Ghost was formed in Tokyo. In the beginning, they played only improvisation / freeform music. But when they started their first recording in 1988, their music changed to a more constructed style. Their music is based on acoustic guitar usually, but a number of ethnic instruments are added. And the places they play are unique-Buddhist temples, churches, ruins, fields, woods, caves... Such strange methods are indicative of their folk rock expressionism. Drag City.
