Ghosts Of The West

papajohn62 Just great music. So relaxing to listen to this. Great album! Favorite track: Old As The Mountains, Ghosts Of The West Know No Peace.

Carsten Pieper Clatchie in spaghetti western/Morricone mode again. Can't get enough of it!
This EP sonically a little different to his usual stuff, as he borrowed orchestral ingredients from a sound library.

When will the movie-makers finally become aware of his talents? I'd love to see/hear him providing a real score! Favorite track: Old As The Mountains, Ghosts Of The West Know No Peace.

about

Four dark 'Spaghetti Western' instrumentals with tons of electric slide played on my Gretsch Electromatic Jet Baritone guitar through an Orange 35rt amp, Orange 'Kongpressor' and Electro Harmonix 'Soul Food' FX pedals. There's also some banjo and acoustic guitar thrown in there too.

Orchestrations include solo contrabass, flautando and sul pont strings, cuivré horns, tuba and trumpet.

Orchestral sound libraries and VST software by Spitfire Audio.

As has (rightfully) already been said elsewhere, this band and album are "absolute fire." Despite the doom-gloom cover art, this type of rock music is a positive force. Especially without vocals, which for me is a bonus. Dale Lloyd

The flac version of this sounds great in my truck... not a crunch, clip or boom to be heard. That, in itself, gets this major points. This is a lovely combination of early Floyd, U2 and a few San Francisco bands from the '60s with a heavy dose of Helmet tossed in. It's definitely best of breed when it comes to modern psych stuff. Even without a Hammond B3, it gets an easy A+... rick-taylor
