What, exactly, is ghost music? Is it Rosemary Brown channeling Chopin mazurkas from beyond the grave? Is it just music from that silly metal band in the cartoon makeup? Is it the music that specters might play in a jam session? Is it just "Grim Grinning Ghosts" played on endless loop?
Was thinking of you when i was writing this one up! Believe it or not, when i was putting this together, i was just looking for things labeled 'ghost music' anywhere, in any capacity, whether that be someone's personal playlist or a tag on last.fm or rym or whatever. It's part of a more ongoing project i've been working on for some time trying to link together less obvious musical qualities. Like, maybe not everything gets labeled 'ghostly' but maybe other ghost music is tagged 'ominous' and 'nocturnal' on RYM. So other ominous nocturnal records might be ghostly but not labeled as such. So 'Didn't It Rain?' came up as #2 on the 'Ghost' tag on AllMusic, which is how it ended up here. I'll probably do a follow-up, as this is like my personal favourite style of music, so I'll add Ghost Tropic when i do!
Love this feature, although Didn’t It Rain over GHOST Tropic?! 😛
