One of the first techno records I ever bought was a Holy Ghost on Tresor...
Good shiat. :clap:

[massplanck]

this is the only bit of a bio i could find of them on the web. They are probably priests now or floating between rooms in the vaults of Tresor.

The Holy Ghost was one of the more theatrical techno producers of the late '90s, recording two full-length albums for Tresor: The Mind Control of Candy Jones (1996) and The Art Lukm Suite (1997), both considerably conceptual. In addition to the albums, Tresor also released a few Holy Ghost 12"s, which became quite popular among the global techno audience. In addition to appearing on several CD mix-albums and compilations, the Holy Ghost toured as a live act. In fact, the act's live show often overshadowed its recordings. By the end of the '90s, the Holy Ghost's relationship with Tresor had come to a halt, along with its recording output. ~ Jason Birchmeier, All Music Guide

And from Tresor Artist Pages....

Holy Ghost formed in London in 1989 with the intention of producing records that would capture and embody the feel of the big parties happening at the time. The first result was “The Word” single as well as a definite commitment to pursue further possibilities. Working in a variety of small but ‘atmospheric’ studios, they began to produce a highly sought-after collection of very personal, eclectic and self-financed records through their own label (also called “Holy Ghost”). It has always been Holy Ghost’s intention to find the more diverse and obscure angles, producing an elusive balance of excitement and intrigue. Longtime purveyors of boundless musical dance experiments using elements of broken-beat, apocalyptic funk, or flat-out Technostomp, Holy Ghost quickly established a name well-known and respected in the Underground for holding little regard for the prevalent and often fickle musical trends of the day. In 1992, the band’s experimentation became so diverse that it warranted the release of two records under the names ‘Saucer Crew’ and ‘Ouija Board,’ providing Holy Ghost a valve for some of their more ‘flipped out’ sessions. The band emerged from mystery in 1996 to appear with Tresor Records for their first-ever full-length release, “The Mind Control of Candy Jones”. “Candy...” exposed paranoia experimentation and hidden government schemes in a dark “X-Files meets J. Edgar Hoover” blend. The long-overdue fanfare that followed triggered two more landmark EP’s that firmly re-established Holy Ghost with an earned respect from the Underground. The vague and multi-personality American ex-pat Art Lukm connected with the band in 1997 to conspire on an even more mind-boggling scheme than “...Candy Jones”. Although spoken word and vocal bits have always existed in the Holy Ghost catalog, Lukm‘s bizarre dialogues enriched the band‘s texture, becoming especially evident during the live “attack”. “The Art Lukm Suite” album of late-1997 dredged the darkest scandal and conspiracy mythology of the century into a sort of ‘paranoia concentrate’: sonic tales from the darkside melding foreboding rhythms with quirky party elements. The seamless hour of music emulates the Holy Ghost liveshow in a fascinating portable party package. More accent on the Holy Ghost PA was stressed with the release of the two live EP releases from the Amsterdam (Tresor 107) and Berlin (Molecular UK) shows. Releasing „The Jesus Nut“ EP in 2000 (Tresor.139), Holy Ghost rattled our nerves a step further. Forging ahead with their tours and live sets, they use a theatrical approach with props and special lighting, mixing music with a sense of performance. The band is committed to presenting the audience with something they can take home with them; a unique atmosphere through imagery and mood that will stay with them long after the club doors shut and the hangover fades away.

mmm... Manchurian Candidate is the one I've got... :rambo:

[Rizage]

mmm... Manchurian Candidate is the one I've got... :rambo:

I have that one as well. I put it on my last mix cd. It's in the "techno files" section.

[Ritzi Lee]

Yeah that's what i'm talking about.
Always found them one of the acts who define the UK techno sound.
And what i'm noticing is that people are generelising the UK sound as one particular sound. (just look at the overall topics about this over here)

I'm just amazed about how many people (from UK) over here don't know these guys. They are even sick and maybe sicker than the whole Birmingham crew. Ohhh well, maybe it's a matter of how deep you your musical experience goes.

Don't want to bug anyone with it. ;)

[Dustin Zahn]

I generally refrain from constant posts these days and focus my energy in the studio, but shit...Holy Ghost is the bomb plain and simple. I would kill to see something like the live pa they did at Dogma. The elvis impersonations only add to the crazy psychadelic vibe. Do people even make techno like that anymore? I keep busting out the old stuff.

[djsirround]

no I thinkg the ghost you seen in I love Techno is another one if I am not wrong.

I bought their album Art Likum for less than 5 Euros, second hand obviously, he told me because it has two vinyls get for 5 euros hehe bargain :D

[davethedrummer]

[Barely Human]
