Pitchforkmedia: Ghost "Metamorphosis: Ghost Chronicles 1984-2004"
[I]t's safe to say that hardly anybody outside of Japan had much inkling of what Masaki Batoh and his fellow mystics in Ghost were getting up to in the late 1980s. Nor could anyone have easily predicted what a psych-folk, prog-rock colossus the group would someday become. With their origins in guerrilla street performance and ritualistic collective improvisations staged at various Tokyo-area temples, the band's formative years seemed destined to remain in the shadows. Thankfully, however, that impression has changed with the release of Metamorphosis.
... Another bonus video not to be missed is of a wild 1988 group performance in a busy Tokyo train station, showcasing Batoh and Ogino in full free-form wail as bemused commuters file past.
