"In the pioneering spirit of his Takoma imprint, John Fahey presents Revenant, dedicated to 'raw musics' from a variety of idioms From the so-called avant garde (Cecil Taylor, Jim O'Rourke, Milford Graves) to the 'modern primitive' sounds of the early Stanley Brothers, Roscoe Holcomb and Jenks Tex Carman, Revenant collects the best in uncompromising, unadultered work...these live recordings of Bailey's 1980 'accompaniment' to Japanese dancer Min Tanaka on a semi-outdoor Paris stage, previously available only on a privately released cassette, amply document Bailey's command of a highly individualized atonal language. 'Rain Dance' is the work of a remarkable ensemble: Bailey's ringing tones, Tanaka's percussive movements, rumbling thunder, a torrential downpour, and the rhythmic patter of rain dripping from a leaky roof. 'Saturday Dance' chimes and burns -- a concentrated assault rivaling the incendiary Incus Taps."
