Album Notes
Ghost includes: Masaki Batoh (vocals, acoustic guitar, banjo); Taihi Takizawa
(acoustic guitar, flute, saxophone); Kohji Nishino (bass); Mu Krsna (percussion).
Though a world and several decades removed from the late-'60s coterie of the British Isles' Incredible String Band or the West Coast hippie-freak circle of Father Yod's YaHoWa 13, Tokyo's nomadic Ghost collective earnestly rekindles the flame of bell-bottomed, communal psychedelia. At the same time, Ghost conjures the spirits of Germany's Amon Dnnl (I and II), creating a fantastically time-warped, cross-cultural patchwork of acoustic, electric, and traditional acid folk-rock.
Enigmatic leader Masaki Batoh delivers coarsely accented and broken English lyrics as recorders, guitars, and joyfully sloppy drumming carry him away on the incense-scented whirlwinds of "Guru in the Echo." On "Moungod Asleep," "Rakshu," and "Sun Is Tangging," Ghost abandons itself to the playful wiles of ISB cohorts Dr. Strangely Strange and C.O.B. The lamasery chants of "Moungod Tedeum" and "Moungod Rediant Youth" betray Ghost's Eastern origins, but an unmistakable Teutonic influence still permeates the group's instrumental improvisations. Michio Kurihara's fluttering electric guitar solo rises from the acoustic bed of "I've Been Flying" like Batoh's astrally detached anima. But it is "Ballad of Summer Rounder," a fragile, Galaxie 500-ish strum-along that escalates into ESP Records-worthy free jazz-flavored psycho-saxual delirium and fluting frenzy, that marks Ghost as a fascinating, unpredictable, and thoroughly contemporary psych outfit.
