Fourth World, Vol. 1: Possible Musics starts off from the same basic perspective as previous HASSELL albums, like Earthquake Island and Vernal Equinox: a blend of avant-garde composition, jazz soloing, and African and Middle Eastern rhythmic forms, here immersed in lucid-dreamlike textures, utilizing ENO's distinctive and singular treatments, effects and production touches, like the reversed echo that adds a ghostly, unreal edge to Hassell's trumpet solos on the side-long "Charm (Over Burundi Cloud)" and Eno's own synths (Minimoog; Prophet 5 "Starlight" background on "Ba-Benzele") and "Cloud Guitars" on "Delta Rain Dream", among various other treatments.

The album, including the African hand drummers on the hypnotic "Delta Rain Dream" and the swirling, almost speech-like solos of "Griot," is pure, deepest Hassell. Although this album very much flew under the radar commercially, its influence since on tribal techno and other ambient world music forms is incalculable, as has its influence on those art rockers who have picked up a surreal world music vibe. Peter Gabriel in particular owes a fair chunk of his royalty checks from Security onward to Jon Hassell.

___________________________________________________

From an utterly vast and deep record collection, from my life-long best friend..
who was a DJ at the Radio Station I co-founded in the 1970's - and who worked for me at my California record store in the '70s and '80s.
Sadly he has now finally left this mortal coil, bequeathing me his deep Vinyl Mine.
.
Several thousand records (mostly LP's, but also hundreds of 45's), several hundred collectible and Rare, Out of Print CDs and Box Sets,
plus posters and other memorabilia will all eventually be listed.

FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL or PRIORITY INTERNATIONAL - Your Choice.

* I reserve the right to cancel any bids by any international bidders with poor or very low feedback.

.

I do NOT ever want to exclude or deny all bidders from any particular country, even though a few specific countries are responsible for almost all spurious "not received" or "not as described" claims over the years. This evolves... for instance in France, buyers from Ile de France seem, more and more, to be very prone to make a false claim. (one of my earliest, very best customers was from Ile de France but moved to Belgium some years back) ...so even there, I hate to exclude ALL buyers from there; however I cannot possibly afford to be scammed due to the unlucky result of a winning bidder being a bad actor. IF you are from that area and want to bid/buy, simply contact me first and give me good reason to trust you.

Also it seems to be the fun game recently for some in Germany, Spain and Italy to buy far more than the collector can afford and make false claims on many of them. Again I will need to know you can be trusted. Many, many great buyers in all those countries, but plenty of trouble comes from them as well. Brazil ha terrible post/mail problems. Italy has long Customs hold times. In NONE of those cases is it my fault and I will not lose out because of other countries' problems beyond my control. Occasional problems from China and Russia -I reserve the right to cancel a sale or bids from any buyer, case-by-case if I note problematic behavior or red flags.

Having said that, I will have no need whatsoever to take action for any buyers with solid, good reputations and feedback. I sell regularly to all those places (though Ile de France bidders will definitely need to contact me FIRST before bidding). I wish there was no need for this caution, but I must and I do protect myself. If you are honest, responsible and genuine, we will never have a problem and may bid buy with no worries.
