RecommendTrippy, Noisy, charting their own course in a spiritual quest that makes pit-stops in raga, San Fran 67, and through a little Yes and a heroin addicted Mamas & Papas, Ghost are a Japanese psychedelic band that manage to avoid the excesses that other similar bands like Acid Mothers Temple indulge in. Ghost play sparse, sometimes barely there ambient music, with the occasional jarring wall of noise that wakes you up in more ways than one. "Escaped and Lost Down in Medina" and "Aramaic Barbarous Dawn" remind me of some of George Harrison's experiments with Indian music, and create a quiet, peaceful atmosphere. Pray if you will. "Hazy Paradise" and "Kiseichukan" rock, then don't, then rock harsher. And "Ganagmanag" has one of the more crazed flute work you'll hear in a rock song this side of Jethro Tull. And here, that is a compliment!
