JON HASSELL & BRIAN ENO
FOURTH WORLD VOL 1:POSSIBLE MUSICS
glitterbeat
A luxury reissue of this classic, ground-breaking album from 1980.
‘Fourth World’ is a term invented by trumpeter Jon Hassell to describe a ‘futurist primitive’ style of music employing modern technological treatments & influences from various cultures & eras. Together with Eno, Hassell melded his heavily processed trumpet with ritualistic hand drum beats & abstract textures to produce a mesmerising blend of the ambient & the global.
