JOHN FAHEY - REQUIA - NEW
LP MINT, SEALED AND UNPLAYED
A1 Requiem For John Hurt 5:05 A2 Requiem For Russell Blaine Cooper 8:50 A3 When The Catfish Is In Bloom 7:30 B1 Requiem For Molly, Part 1 7:35 B2 Requiem For Molly, Part 2 7:41 B3 Requiem For Molly, Part 3 2:28 B4 Requiem For Molly, Part 4 2:55 B5 Fight On Christians, Fight On 1:51From critical consensus to Fahey himself, the general line on Requia seems most apt to these ears: a dazzling first half saddled with a less satisfying second. "John Hurt" and "Russel Blaine Cooper" are serene in the tradition of Days Have Gone By's best, but nowhere near as trancey, instead favoring sunny fields and riverbanks to "A Raga Called Pat"'s rainy meditation. Even "When the Catfish Is in Bloom", for all its oblique, tweaky angles, reaches a somehow higher plane of effortlessness.
Then there's "Requiem for Molly". Somehow John's sterling track record for nuance goes out the window, bringing in snippets of Nazis, marching bands, crying babies, "Wedding March"--few of them supported by guitar parts beyond the superfluous, though Part 1 works when you tune out most of the strums. Similarly, Part 3's varispeed speech and churning growls are enjoyable even without the appropriately solemn guitar; it's just Part 2's bombast that largely makes the piece such an uneven dive into musique concrete.
