Psychedelic/Space Rock

Temple Stone is actually Ghost's first live album. Live in a sense that there is no audience but all songs are performed outside a studio. I do believe that half the songs are recorded in a church and the other half being recorded in a Buddhist temple.

This album is amazing. Ghost is very similar to Gentle Giant when it comes to playing live, their live songs compared to the studio versions are lightyears apart!

The main attraction for this album is the wonderful improvisations thrown throughout the ten songs. The best track off this album is the mournful, and simply beautiful, version of Guru in the Echo (which is usually fast paced and chock full of energy).

Temple Stone is, in my opinion, an essential piece of prog (along with the entire Ghost catalog!).
