Ghosts on Magnetic Tape is the fourth studio album released by British musician, songwriter, and producer Steven Wilson under the pseudonym Bass Communion. It was created primarily from processing 78 rpm records and piano sources.[2] There was a limited edition of 300 copies available as a double CD including Andrew Liles' reconstruction disc.
The fourth track contains samples from Bernard Herrmann's score for Martin Scorsese's 1976 film "Taxi Driver".
