classic albums, atsonicpark edition # 41: john fahey - god, time, and casuality

JOHN FAHEY "GOD TIME AND CAUSALITY"
1998, Shanachie

I've talked about this on other threads but fuck it. If you were to ask me now what my favorite album of all time is, it's probably this. I don't even want to listen to the last song again -- it makes me cry. It's probably the only piece of music I've heard (maybe besides "Super Going" by Boredoms) that is SO good that it just makes me cry. It's cheesy, but I'm being serious. This CD has a lot of his best songs, re-done, so it's almost like a greatest hits record at times, except it's also got new songs that are better than anything he's ever done. The last 3 songs are all well over 10 minutes in length and they're all amazing. God, I dunno, I hate to gush, but you owe it to yourself to listen to this. If you never listen to me on another reccomendation, listen to this one. I think it's the one record everyone on this board would enjoy.

Also, Fahey is Thurston Moore-approved!

Purplebumblebee: You need a program called winrar, it extracts the rar into a folder with mp3's. Problem solved

Derek · 08.24.2008, 03:38 PM

I downloaded this album and I will listen to it soon.

acousticrock87 · 08.24.2008, 03:39 PM

Causality and casuality are very different things.

But a great CD.

Sheriff Rhys Chatham · 08.24.2008, 03:39 PM

I really liked "Snowflake". I think with some modern twist and arrangments it would be a supremely baddass song.

atsonicpark · 08.24.2008, 03:56 PM

Oh wow.

It IS causality. I can't spell/read.

fugazifan · 08.24.2008, 06:56 PM

Thanks for info, got it now

SuperCreep · 08.24.2008, 08:58 PM

I haven't heard any of his recent-ish stuff, but I do loves me some Transfiguration, Death Chants, Voice of the Turtle, Fare Forward Voyagers...ah, let's just say every Fahey album I've heard is golden.

I'll pick this up since it comes atsonicpark approved. :7)

marleypumpkin · 08.24.2008, 09:34 PM

Thanks atsonicpark! Like many, Love Fahey, haven't heard this one yet. Thanks again!

dressedindreams · 08.25.2008, 04:03 AM

didn't the album come out in 1990 though?

atsonicpark · 08.25.2008, 06:10 AM

You're right. 1989 actually, reissued in 1998.
