Alle frühen vergriffenen Aufnahmen für das Table of the Elements-Label des 2001 verstorbenen Ausnahme-Gitarristen und Label-Betreibers (Takoma, Revenant) in einer Box vereint!
"In den 43 Jahren, die zwischen seiner ersten Aufnahme und dem Tod JOHN FAHEYs 2001 liegen, hat der Meister so große Fußspuren quer durch die amerikanische Soundlandschaft gezogen und damit solchen Einfluss hinterlassen, dass sich dieser Tage ganze Genres in einem einzigen Fußstapfen verstecken können. Die hypnotischen Gitarrenkompositionen von FAHEY vermischten die klassischen Rhythmen des Blues mit moderner Dissonanz. "Sea Changes & Coelacanths" versammelt sämtliche Aufnahmen der 90er für das Table Of Elements Label. Der Sound ist unverdünnt, authentisch, aufrichtig, voller klarer Visionen und innovativ in jeder Beziehung, genau wie der Mann selbst. //
Subtitled: A Young Person's Guide to John Fahey. This compiles Fahey's earlier releases for TOE: 1997's Womblife and the live followup Georgia Stomps, Atlanta Struts; plus the Hard Time Empty Bottle Blues 12" (all o/p as individual releases at this point). "In the 43 years between his first recordings and his death in 2001, John Fahey stomped across the American soundscape, leaving behind footprints of influence so breathtakingly vast that entire genres now huddle within them. Fahey's mesmeric guitar compositions fused the blues' syncopated rhythms with contemporary dissonance; Eastern influences with musique-concrete. He was the first to demonstrate that traditional steel-string finger-picking techniques could be used to express a universe of non-traditional ideas, and his contribution to American music is immense. Sea Changes & Coelacanths compiles all of Fahey's mid-'90s recordings for the Table of the Elements label and embodies an artistic essence, with sounds that are undiluted, uncompromised, starkly honest, pure of vision, and in every way innovative -- just like the man himself."
