Fourth World Volume 1: Possible Musics (1980) ...
Jon Hassell's collaboration with Brian Eno... Beyond 'world music', jazz or folk descriptions this is a synthesis of a 'new' music which trumpeter Hassell called Fourth World. Lots of Eno effects, especially over the trumpet throughout, and lots of 'ethnic sounding' rhythms in the backing which you can't quite place ...Predates 'My Life In the Bush of Ghosts' and is superior to that more famous Eno 'world ambient' collaboration ...Delta Rain Dream ...
“Jon Hassell is more than a superb musician, and more even than a gifted composer. He is an inventor of new forms of music — of new ideas of what music could be, and how it might be made. His work is drawn from his whole being, and, by implication, from his whole cultural experience without fear or prejudice. It is an optimistic, global vision that suggests not only possible musics but possible futures.” — Brian Eno
