John _ahey - Days Have Gone By (1967)


I don't know why I didn't post it earlier. Haven't seen it uploaded anywhere else, though.
Congregation, this is a masterpiece. Solo acoustic guitar work augmented with some musique concrete, or pre-turntablism, if you will. The two parts of "A Raga Called Pat" will make you achieve a music-eater's nirvana. Ambient country never sounded better? Music never sounded better. The guy's in heaven now, mind you.

This was shared by pyrata of the excellent Muziksucker blog in response to my previous Ferre missive ages ago. I listened to it, and it's absolutely jawdropping, so I decided to put it here (click on the cover, you'll be redirected to the relevant Muziksucker post). I think it's the best record from the Monsieur - I have listened to quite a lot albums of his in the last few months, and they all kick ass, but this kicks a thousand asses. Pretty much orchestral stuff; ears up, Scott Walker fans, again. Dunno how he achieved this, but these wordy songs keep me on my toes, and I don't understand a word here! Recommendations? - "Richard", and of course the devastating title track.
