What we say

Rating: happy This record left our Ant feeling happy.

Drag city have put out a cool CD and DVD set from Japans Ghost. 'Overture: Live n Nippon Yusen Soko 2006' captures the band at their most mystical and experimental. Like going back in time a thousand years and wondering through aincient mountains and temples. I'm assuming the DVD is film footage of the show. Sounds like proper old samurai type shit, spooky with bells and weired oriental instruments.

What the label says:

At sunset on the night of October 9th, 2006, a crowd gathered at Nippon Yusen Soko, a converted warehouse space located on Yokahama Bay. Their purpose: to see and hear new music played by Ghost. Once they had completely arrived, the doors were shut and locked and the announcement made: no one would enter or exit the space until the performance was complete. Starting in complete darkness, the performance was spun, like yarn from a cocoon.The set for this evening was not just new to the audience. For this event, Ghost played entirely improvised material. Improvisation is the wellspring of creation for Ghost, both live and in the studio, though they’ve never made an entire album of improvisations until now. In order to not miss a single inspiration, Ghost brought their orchestra’s-worth of instrumentation, playing bass, drums,piano, electric and acoustic guitars, saxophones, flute, tin-whistle, bells, frame drums, lute, tabla-baya, waterphone and even tapes!The CD performance is an edited version of the evening’s events — but the DVD is a completely live, four-camera view into the collective journey of Ghost and their audience. In addition to the sounds and sights of the band in action, the viewer will also experience the atmospheres created by Overheads, whose far-ranging light works (and subtle placement of a lace curtain) enhanced the mood within Nippon Yusen Soko that night.
