"Requia" is one of the neatest fahey albums. it has a lot of field recordings and tapes and record collages on it while he's playing. that was one of the records that got me into experimental folk and drone, and even country and blues.. (where before i was more into harsh everything). I'd love to hear more experimental Fahey recommendations myself. So i keep hearing how great "trasmorfigation of blind joe death" and "death chants and military waltzes" are. (titles not recalled correctly, i'm sure). what are those like? From: "Caleb T. Deupree" <cdeupree@erinet.com> Subject: experimental late fahey The December Wire Tapper includes a gorgeous electric John Fahey cut that sounds like nothing else from him that I've heard. According to the notes, it's from a forthcoming Revenant release. I followed him through the early Takoma/Vanguard years, but my tastes changed and I didn't pay much attention to him (or any other acoustic music) after the early 1970s. We picked up his album Rain Forests & Oceans (with an interesting two-guitar version of Layla), but I'd be interested in reading about Fahey's experimental side in other more recent releases. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
