Ghost

http://www.ab.cyberhome.ne.jp/~pochamal/

In 1984 Ghost was formed in Tokyo. In the beginning, they played only improvisation / free form music naturally. But when they started their first recording in 1988, their music had been changing to more constructive one. Still now on their live activities we can find they play improvisation sometimes. Their music was based on acoustic guitar usually. A lot ethnic instruments or strange instruments are added to it freely on recording. And the place they play were so unique as examples - Buddhist temples, churches, ruins, metro, fields, woods, caves... Such strange methods are nothing but ones of their expressions. They are Ghost anytime.

Sometime portrayed as freak-out psychedelia and maximalist Prog merchants, Masaki Batoh's Ghost are in fact beholden to no fixed style or era...the groups absorption or styles and influences is quite often breathtaking, with an ability to be both intelligently grandiose and loosely intimate. -Wire
