Awesome, thanks for writing. It sounds like it's well worth the price with some good unheard stuff and nice packaging.
Hopefully it'll drop to $60 or $70...might be something good to have Santa bring.

I bought it too. At first I just downloaded it but the packaging looked way too enticing to pass up so I bought it. I just had to! Definitely one of my favorite reissues of the year 2011 and worth every penny. |

Just had a long talk with my audio editor who is apparently a big Fahey nut. Now I'll admit, I've never heard a single thing the man's done (or at least i think I haven't) and only know of him through the existence of this thread.
I'm totally in the mood to check him out now. Any solid recommendations for a first-timer - or somethingt that might appeal to a musical dunce lik eme? |

its a great show. i should listen to it again one of these days.
and i agree, transfiguration of blind joe death is a great introduction and a beautiful album. i would also recommend days have gone by since it has both his beautiful songs as well as some experimental ones.

Awesome, sounds like Sun City Girls to lead off the set, and quite a bit of what I think might be Tony Conrad...

''In the 1990's my future wife was a record store clerk in Portland, Oregon. American guitar legend John Fahey was living in a nearby town and would visit the shop. Here are two mix cassettes that he made for her during that time.''

Threads like these certainly give a reminder of how much of an asset atsonicpark was to this place. There aren't many people who'd go through all of John Fahey's albums in just three weeks. And you just know he wasn't listening to those albums once and that's it. The guy was on another level when it came to obsessively absorbing music.
The only reason I brought this back up was because Fahey came up randomly on my Spotify and I was just blown away even from the one song I heard. I went on to go and check the 'dance of death and...' and it didn't disappoint. This is coming from someone who generally finds solo guitar music a bore. There are some exceptions, and Fahey stands out as one of them. Incredible stuff. Least I know where I should go after this. Speaking of past members, what happened to Atari?

No clue about, Atari? I often wonder about viewtiful_alan, Florya and Glice???
It’s threads like this why SYG still has so many lurkers. I sure miss Atsonicpark’s contributions and opinions......so well said, h8kurdt. Quote:

I think his death is truly sad and my heart goes out to all the people who lost a friend but I always found atsonicpark to be an idiotic and annoying loudmouth, who a lot of the time didn't really know what he was talking about (and that is giving him the benefit of the doubt).

I mean, he was an uneducated guy from bumfuck Indiana who had a horrible life most of the time. That he was able to just go on the internet and spend all his time absorbing films and music and wanting to share it with people is awesome and it's nice that he was able to bond with me and many others through it. He never tried to act like an academic with any of this stuff, it was always just gushing fandom to me and I needed that enthusiasm when I was an awkward teenager who liked things other people my age didn't.
It also felt like he was able to start expressing himself better in the last few years he was alive but not posting here, as horribly depressing as the things he was going through at the time was. The unfinished last film he was making was full of genuinely interesting worked out ideas and got away from the "I'm a weeeeeeird underground filmmaker dude" stuff he would fall back on a lot. I would have liked to have seen what he would have made had he reached a comfortable state of adulthood. I get that if you take everything he said here at face value, the "my girlfriend put her finger up my butt" stuff, the "I've heard 500 Merzbow albums and seen 99 Godard films and here is all of them ranked" stuff, you would find him quite obnoxious. A lot of that stuff was obviously exaggerated, but it was a fun persona to a lot of people and made them want to be as excited as he tried to come across. Also, you're English and the English always think Americans are loudmouths hahaha. |
