John Fahey - Your Past Comes Back To Haunt You: The Fonotone Years 1958-1965 ( Released in 2011) [BOX SET 5CDS] 320 kbps

 


"Your Past Comes Back to Haunt You: The Fonotone Years, 1958-1965" es un box set mastodóntico, un documento masivo, histórico y artístico, firmado por uno de los músicos más inusuales y guitarristas más influyentes de la historia.

Dean Blackwood de Revenant, el guitarrista Glenn Jones y Lance Ledbetter de Dust-to-Digital necesitaron toda una década de trabajo para su creación. Una labor que terminó unos diez años después de la muerte de nuestro protagonista. "Your Past Comes Back to Haunt You" contiene 115 grabaciones -su obra completa de cortes hechos a mano y bajo demanda en formato 78-rpm para el sello Fonotone de Joe Bussard- remasterizadas a partir de las cintas originales. Un trabajo exhaustivo, hecho con mucho mimo, que recoge las grabaciones más tempranas -la inmensa mayoría no había visto la luz hasta el momento- del genio de Washington, D.C.

John Fahey era un coleccionista acérrimo de Folk y Blues primitivo pero a diferencia de otros coleccionistas de canciones como el gran Alan Lomax, Fahey no buscaba la música como un ejercicio académico. Quería conocer el pasado. saber dónde habíamos estado para después influir en la dirección futura. Y así lo hizo. 

ADVERTENCIA: Degustar "Your Past Comes Back to Haunt You" al completo es un proceso lento que puede llevar meses. No recomendado si es tu primer contacto con el mundo sonoro de John Fahey. Aconsejado solo para los entusiastas de su evolución musical y sonido.

I've only listened to the first two of these, and they are excellent. Proving JF to be a thoughtful musician with a great sense of humor. Very easy listening. Thanks a ton!

I do not know why you people have to use an uploader that is impossible to download from. You could use several uploaders who are easy to download from. For instance - Mega NZ, Media Fire, Zippy Share or countless others. All you are doing is frustrating people like me who want own these recordings, but I have a disability that stops me working so can't afford to buy them.

Hi, Austral Alien,

Thanks for your comment and advice. We would like to point out that most of those servers are blocked in our region (that's one of many reasons why). We are sorry for your frustrations but we find a little bit selfish /childish (or more than just a bit) to complain about something that we are doing for free. Guess what...you can always try to find what you're looking for somewhere else. We don't like weeping leeches around.

Cheers from The Lake Band ;)
