The YSI group initiated a project where we're all supposed to make mixes, or greatest hits of different artists. I'm choosing Fahey. He was a gateway for me into a lot of great new discoveries, so I figured I'd give him his due. This isn't a greatest hits as much as it is a rough sketch of his career. I don't have everything he released, but I do have a fair amount, and I tried to find something to add from each of them. This mix is not in chronological order, instead I used the schedule of the tides. The Mix was too big to upload as one file with Mediafire, so its split into two zip files. Enjoy.
