The one constant has been Eric Crespo. Sometimes live shows are just him and sometimes they are played along with others like longtime bass playing (among other things) member Ryne Warner (Ohioan). Other members (drummers) have been or continue to be Adam Baz (Evangelista), Nick Delffs (Shaky Hands, Castanets), John Crouch (Hazerai, Caltrop), Mark Kaylor (Cex Fucx, Au, Hammer of Hathor), and Mike Mckinnon (Wet Confetti, Reporter). **The people listed above are people who have played more than one show with Ghost to Falco or toured. The list of live guest players and people who have played on recordings would be extremely long.**
Influences
day changing to night, all the people being alive together, the constructs humans create to attempt to give their meaningless lives meaning, imminent death, blackholes, rivers, deserts, forests, tufa rocks, suburbs, human dominance over nature, comfort, danger, cults, shot up computer parts, luddites, books, the birth of solid state electronics and the rapid advancement of modern technology, pretending that something in your life is important.
Sounds Like
"Anyone remotely familiar with aQ knows we’ve long had a soft spot for earthy, psych-tinged music that weaves its way along beautiful shadowy paths through the dewy glimmers and murky sludge. Well, here’s something new that fits the bill and has been pleasing many an ear around here! We actually put a call out to these Portland, OR folks back in October to send some of their music down the coast. A few months have passed and here we are finally with cds in hand, and we think it was worth the wait! Heck, in the short time we’ve had Like This Forever in stock, in-store play has already been stirring up many many queries with at least one purchased each time it’s spun.
Stormy waves of electric guitar distortion and reedy woodwinds crash upon one another, then melt into clear smooth bell chimes. Horns and piano also enter the fray that ebbs and flows around mainman Eric Crespo’s emotive vocals."
--Aquarius Records (San Francisco, CA)

Eric. It's been a while. How are you? It's been unusually rainy here in Barcelona recently and it brought back happy memories of a certain week I spent with you under grey Portland skies...
So....are you going to be hitting up Colorado (Denver or Boulder) anytime soon while you're making your way to Salt Lake(?) ...? Well, you should. Also, I could just make Geoff burn me your cd, but I would love to support your mus-aq.....so, where can I buy your stuff?
