I think I have been waiting for this album since Ride disassembled and the wait was more then worth it. Mark's album offers an enjoyable listen that anyone, not just shoegazer fans, can appreciate.

I was lucky enough to catch Mark on tour this past September, where I was treated to an incrediable show and a preview of this album. I needlessly worried that what I experienced at the show wouldn't be represented on the album, but knowing Mark, I should have known better. This album is Mark, and it is amazing because of that.

The album is a wonderful, wonderful record that demands to be played over and over again.

Mark Gardener has a soothing voice with upbeat melodies (especially in "Snow in Mexico") that make the songs particularly enjoyable to listen to and great for singing along. If you have an appreciation for talented musicians then you definately need to get this CD!

A warm and intriguing voice matched with beautiful melodies that sail throughout the songs found on These Beautiful Ghosts. His voice and accompaniment are so nicely balanced throughout the songs that it allows the listener to truly hear and appreciate all that is going on, which seems to be a rare treat these days. This CD is a great listen from beginning to end as the songs move effortlessly from one to the next.

Former front man for legendary group, Ride releases first solo album. Songs are very heartfelt and dynamic. Acoustic and Piano folk rock. Similar to Coldplay and Damien Rice.
