"hungry ghosts are an australian trio that plays instrumental music on a variety of instruments. they mine some of the same territory as their contrymen, the dirty three, although the hungry ghosts' approach is a little more varied. hungry ghosts are less cathartic than the dirty three, and more soporific, but in a good way. the music meanders and drifts pleasantly through soundscapes that make you glad to be at home on a rainy day. this music is ambient in the original brian eno sense of the word, it seemlessly sinks into the background, yet is at the same time utterly engaging; you can pay attention to it as easily and joyously as you can ignore it. definately recommended..."
