The Ghost Effect is a project born in Turin (Italy) in autumn 2005 from the intuition of the three “founder members†(Laura Agerli, Davide Dellaquila, Claudio Vernetti), with rather different musical personalities but joined by a genuine passion for the new wave aesthetics, the dark atmospheres and the visionary art in all its forms. The expression "ghost effect" is taken from the classical photographic terminology and is used to define the particular effect that occurs after a double exposure of the film. Practically speaking, the final frame is enriched by a “ghost†presence, that is the track of what has got into the field of vision in a moment preceding the click. In the XIX century the ghost effect was often used to demonstrate the existence of ghosts, in shape of the “spiritual†entities that appeared beside the photographed subject. Beyond the disquisition about the existence or not of ghosts (that of course is solved in favour of the first hypothesis to the band!) the point is that the film keeps in itself different and “out of phase†temporal fragments. And so does TGE music, in an original embodiment of past and present, electronic and traditional instruments, recallings and prophecies.

Yes, The Ghost Effect are on the new book by Mick Mercer concerning Goth. The book is 624 pages long, containing individual entries on 3,581 different bands, from 70 countries, with 183 photos. It covers bands from the beginning of these scenes to the present day and wherever possible contains full line-up details and discographies as well as unusual facts revealed by many of the bands. This is the biggest guide ever printed about the underground scenes in which Goth, Post-Punk and all things noir co-exist with equal splendour. You can find this on Amazon, Barnes & Noble (etc) but if possible please use the link below to buy direct from the publisher. They accept Paypal and for such a chunky book they’re doing a very cheap deal on postage. They have shown faith in Goth and have their own excellent series of Goth CD releases so we think it is only right people buy through them if at all possible.
