A HUGE STEP BACKWARDS!

One of our favourite artists is John Fahey, the American primitive guitarist who’s work ranges from gentle finger picking to extreme, experimental soundscapes!We were aproached by Alpha Hey who claimed to be the spiritual heirs of the John Fahey sound and presented us with an albums worth of instumental picking and computer generated noise!It wasn’t quite up to the standard of a Takoma or Revenant release, but it was good enough for Topplers!After editing it down to reasonable length we looked for an unusual way topresent this retro recording and found a company that still make shellac 78rpmdiscs.These beautiful 10″ discs will not be available through the Topplers website (too fragile) and can only be bought from Alpha Hey themselves! A digital download will be online shortly.
