Tim Hardin – 1
Building on the success of their impeccably curated Amapiano Now and Down & Out releases, beloved London-based radio station NTS dives deeper into the compilation realm with European Primitive Guitar, a compilation of instrumental guitar compositions, mapping out the European analogues of the American Primitive Guitar movement, spearheaded by John Fahey in the 1950s. Compiled by Aaron Angell, Samuel Strang, and Perfect Lives’ Bruno Halper (who co-curated that amazing Perfect Motion comp with Flo Dill on Emotional Response) this collection is expectedly deep and far-reaching featuring private press guitar tracks from Spain, Italy, Germany, Ireland, Yugoslavia, and UK. Despite the mileage, the selection is wonderfully cohesive with a solid variety of tracks ranging from the more atmospheric effect-heavy guitar music to raw, technique-driven acoustic compositions. Highly recommended for guitar music heads!
