Album Notes Ghost: Masaki Batoh (vocals, acoustic guitar); Taishi Takizawa (various instruments); Michio Kurihara (electric guitar); Takuyuki Moriya (cello, bass); Kazuo Ogino (harp, recorder, piano, Mellotron, keyboards); Junzo Tateiwa (drums, percussion). Recorded in 2003. The Japanese psychedelic band successfully combines its wilder side with more pastoral, experimental textures on this 2004 set, which features the gentle, meditative "Kiseichukan Nite," the medieval-sounding prog of "Piper," and the extended guitar workout of "Leave the World!"
