The Fahey Files - John Fahey

“During that session down in Salem, ‘Ghosts’ was recorded. Just John, guitar and stereo pair. The other cuts were recorded by Jeff Allman but I was given the four tracks and allowed to go wild with the mix. ‘Garbage’ is harsh electronics which reminds me of early Controlled Bleeding. ‘You Can’t Cool Off’ is a distorto vocal and guitar drone which will chill your bones. ‘Drowns Hope’ is just guitar with echo and a light drone in the background. A departure from the Tim/Kerr CD from earlier this year. I really like the mix I did, since I was able to do what ever I wanted. You might say it was my first crack as a remix engineer.”

	"On this EP Fahey uses heavy reverb, electric slide and feedback to create an eerie mood." (Publicity blurb). Fahey also uses his own voice, to create disturbing howling or moaning sounds, quite similar to those produced by Harvey Keitel in the movie "Bad Lieutenant".
