Sojourn to 1969
author: oneoldcrowbone
Ghost Of Monkshood present a pleasant review of earlier musical psychedelic references - pre Parsons produced Pink Floyd, early Peter Gabriel era Genesis - and even a Revolution 9 - particularly apparent; along with some interesting contemporary touchmarks on Spider Through the Fog.
Nothing remarkably original, not to say that there aren't a few rather decent tracks - but there is too much filler here that could stand some editing.
On the whole, STtF genially fits into a cycle of amiable psychedelic listening.

Refreshing CD
author: Robert Flynn
I got this Cd on a whim and it is mad sweet. I can't believe these guys aren't famous. there is so much junk out there. I looked on their web-site and saw that they only play in their home town...or around it. I wish I lived in Oklahoma. (I think that is where they said they were from.) I wish we had bands liek that in Albany, New York. We just have the wackest stuff...Great job guys. Thanks for the sounds. It gives me hope that pshyadellic stuff is out there that is enjoyable to listen too. Looking forward to your next release...

A soundtrack for dreamers
author: Adam Scott, Norman Transcript
"A soundtrack for dreamers" is the best way I can put it. Local quintet Ghost of Monkshood's latest effort (availible at Guestroom Records) is like a week's worth of dreams set to music. capturing not only stretches of active, fairly lucid, well-defined events and images but also interspersals of reactive, drifting, phantom chaos. There's no point on the album that loses its chimeric, peaceful-yet-shifting quality. Heavy vocal tremolo in "The Childrem Have Power" may turn off some, but stick with it and be rewarded.
