Ended Thursday and welcomed Friday with America an album by American folk musician John Fahey, released in 1971.

Matt Hanks of No Depression on the 1998 reissue:

"Heard in near-entirety, America transcends its already classic standing and becomes one of the most ambitious and epic records Fahey ever made ... if you’re seeking one man’s ruminations on a world that has both enchanted and forsaken him, America is the Fahey effect you’re looking for."

Critic Greg Cahill of the Sonoma County Independent called the reissue "rapturous in its beauty—a majestic, spacious work as grand in its deceptive simplicity as the early American landscape from which it draws inspiration." - Wikipedia

Requia is the eighth album by American fingerstyle guitarist and composer John Fahey. Released in November 1967, it was the first of Fahey's two releases on the Vanguard label. It originally received hostile reviews from music critics, particularly for its musique concrète experimentation.[6] It has since been recognised as precursor to new-age music...

According to Edward Pouncey of The Wire, contemporary reception to Requia was mixed and often hostile, with many puzzled by the album's lengthy musique concrète centrepiece.

Kris Needs of Record Collector has similarly cited "Requiem for Molly" as a "deranged mosaic of effects" that predated sampling with its mixture of musical interpolations and "snatches of jazz and blues singers, Nazi marching songs, wedding music, hymns, brass bands and fairground organ, as well as self-recorded seals." - Wikipedia
