Ghost Funk Orchestra - A Trip to the Moon - Green - VINYL LP
About This Item
- Details
- Genre: Rhythm & Blues
- Description: February 2024 sees Ghost Funk Orchestra blast off into new territory on their fifth album, A Trip To The Moon. In just over a minute, Opening, the aptly titled first track, encapsulates a sense of what's to come for those along for the adventure. Sci-fi synth waves build into the sophisticated sounds that saturated radios and hifi sets as the space race mounted in the late 1960s, culminating in a big band brass arrangement which catapults GFO into a new sonic era. The dramatic scene is set by Megan Mancini's vocals on Eyes of Love as the story of a landlocked lover whose heart is held hostage by a cosmonaut ready for take off into uncharted territory unfolds. Seth Applebaum, Ghost Funk Orchestra's commander in chief who composes, produces and arranges the music in his upstate New York subterranean lab, has always had a latent fascination with space and space travel. Midway through penning the instrumentals which would become the backdrop of GFO's fifth album, he became aware that Internet Archive had made the sound footage of those Apollo to Mission Control transmissions accessible in the public domain, which, once he started listening, gave him the idea of using that narrative as a binder for the music which was coming to life. The process became painstaking - the footage was filled with long silences, punctuated by surprisingly casual commentary on the cosmos. Applebaum's commitment to the voyage drew him into a kind of historical tourism in which he studied film, photos and music from the era. He was struck by the gusto with which new technology was embraced in pop culture of the day, and honored that tradition in the creation of A Trip To The Moon, skilfully using a blend of digital recording techniques to cobble together orchestrations incorporating 60s & 70s analog keyboards and the guitar sounds reminiscent of early surf bands from the 50s and 60s.

Around the Fur the follow-up to Deftones' passionate, aggressive Adrenaline, sees the California quartet expanding on the sheer rage of their earlier work, adding new, more sinister shades to their already extreme sound. The opening InchMy Own Summer (Shove It),Inch serves as an introduction to the album's sonic theme sinewy guitars and eerie whispers alternate with fast, violent crunch. Sepultura's Max Cavallero contributes guitar and vocals to InchHeadup,Inch while InchMXInch finds singer Chino trading off vocal lines with Annalynn Cunningham, (wife of Deftones' drummer Abe) in an acerbic take on the rock star mentality. Vocal acrobat Moreno attacks a variety of styles his breathy, psychotic recitations sound downright industrial, while the album's calmer, more brooding moments show his gift for haunting melody. Behind him, guitarist Stephen Carpenter's heavy wall of sound is astoundingly muscular, yet inspiringly agile. When Deftones' hellish fury hits full tilt, as it always does on this album, Moreno's voice erupts into screams which are best described as otherworldly, transforming this intense musical firestorm into a hurtling juggernaut of aggression. This LP version comes pressed on 180 gram vinyl. Album Tracks 1. My Own Summer (Shove It) 2. Lhabia 3. Mascara 4. Around the Fur 5. Rickets 6. Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away) 7. Lotion 8. Dai the Flu 9. Headup 10. MX
