Customer Reviews of Womblife
if you're not in john fahey's (or J. O'Rourke's) womb.. This is really unlistenable except for "juana" the rest sounds like he's fretting with an eel (or various other fish) or even someone else's hands, underwater in a bathtub listening to harry partch whilst being recorded by an amateur with a very cheap tape recorder. Shame I like new music but this ain't new. Listen to the classic J.F.'s and avoid this one like the great white shark! I'm glad I didn't start with this one.
It used to go like that, now it goes like this
Actually, Fahey recorded this one himself right there in the motel where he was living at the time; he got a little help with the tape loops (not from Jim O'Rourke) but that's about all. So it's just exactly as he intended. Which means it's difficult stuff, mainly, because this is the New Fahey - no more Mr Nice Guy, no more Blues or Folk or whatever it was - now you get Industrial Ambient. Hmmm. I do enjoy the idea of Fahey tearing up his whole back catalogue, trashing all his old fans and heading out into... Somewhere Else. (Starting with "City of Refuge" and continuing with "The Epiphany of Glenn Jones") But I probably like the idea better than I like this cd. On the other hand, Gamelan found sounds are nothing new. Check out Fahey's 1968 composition "A Raga Called Pat" (on "The Voice of the Turtle").
Womb-like
Ok this one is dense, but I don't think it should be compared with Mr. Fahey's early works, this stage of his work is part of a very complex evolution. You have to simply let yourself go, like you did'nt knew a thing, like being, really, in a womb.
