L.A.'s Red Temple Spirits perform ritualistic, droning post-punk soundscapes augmented by tribal drumming, '60s psychedelia, and a {new age} spiritual sensibility courtesy of British emigre and frontman William Faircloth, fresh off of an EP with Ministry of Love. The band also features guitarist Dallas Taylor and bassist Dino Paredes, a former member of Perry Farrell's pre-Jane's Addiction band Psi Com. Their 1988 debut, Dancing to Restore an Eclipsed Moon, alternated short songs with longer soundscapes complete with {new age-ish} Native American flutes and nature sound effects. 1989's If Tomorrow I Were Leaving for Lhasa, I Wouldn't Stay a Minute More displayed a more direct approach and a turn toward Tibet for the music's spiritual inspiration. ~

I keep coming back to this album over the years because it's not boring. Maybe it's the poetic drama, not just the lyrics, but the trippy tunes. It's not overly polished. Entertaining? Yes. I wish I could find a CD copy and also listen to the other album. Too bad the band broke up rather soon. sbackyard
