Ghost
Temple Stone
Returned to us from early 90s Japan are the holy holy sounds of Ghost. Their collective, clearly inspired by various
forms of transcendental music throughout history, created a new syncretic psychedelia with these albums, mixing the
texture and vibe of multinational forms of traditional music, with strummed antique stringed instruments and the
haunting wail of a recorder on top of their heavy beats and guitars. The considerable depth of this approach was
explored through 2014 over another five Ghost LPs, as well as the further explorations to the present day of leader
Masaki Batoh, as a solo artist and with The Silence, Damon & Naomi, Helena Espvall and most recently, nehan.
These first three Ghost titles were originally released by P.S.F. on CD in 1990, 1992 and 1994, respectively, radiating
enigma and energy in palpable waves with their original sound. After the acclaim that greeted Drag City's 1996 US
release of Lama Rabi Rabi, we quickly reissued all three on vinyl - and they quickly went out of print! At which point,
Ghost had Snuffbox Immanence and Free Tibet ready to go. And then, Hypnotic Underworld. And then, and then . . . .
Now, its been 25 years since they were last offered on vinyl.
Clear green vinyl.
