"File this Lightning Ghost CD under original with a capital O. File this one-man Bird Show opus under do-it-yourself and anything I touch and own can also double as a musical instrument. File these nine songs under tree hugging, granola loving, world beat, be-here-now hippie, and veggie picnic, clothing-optional parade. File this digital wunderkind under unique and unusual. File this cosmic calliope under kaleidoscopic and phenomenal. File this tribal chant under - if that's a mantra then my guru must be near. For type, file this under freak folk, shoe-gazing psychedelia in a Grateful Dead, Spiritualized kinda' way. And lastly, file this sonic creed under as-cool-as-anything-you're-likely-too-hear-this-year - anytime, anywhere. Repeated listening pays high dividends - infinity looped endlessly. Far fetching out."
