pəˈjoʊti Just bought the records at hhv. Excited to listen to the wax.

Jim Tetlow For Hassell fans it's pretty essential. I was personally never a fan of the City album and didn't buy the reissue from a few years back so am overjoyed that the two bonus discs have now been given their own separate release, as per Jon's wishes. I was particularly impressed by the CD packaging. Basically a small 32 page hardback book with a CD at either end, it's a beautiful thing. Recommended, and good value for money. Favorite track: Nightsky [The Living City].

Dan Leithauser For Jon Hassell's estate. Jon Hassell lives forever as a musical visionary. Rarities and demos are appreciated. Favorite track: Favela [Psychogeography].

Book/Magazine
Second Edition with alternate off-white cover colour, 68pp perfect bound 5x8” paperback, cover printed on 250gsm recycled paper, body 100gsm recycled natural paper.

A collection of Jon Hassell’s writing about his own music, a series of dairy-like entries spanning a period of over thirty years.

Designed by Collin Fletcher and presented as a 5 x 8” perfect bound volume on recycled paper stock throughout.

“In trying to fully understand anyone, or anything, I’ve always wanted to get a feel for the physical and psychic landscape of the time: what kind of light was in the room or in the forest, what sounds and smells were in the air, what families and friends looked like, whether there were animals and children around, what were they eating, what was funny, what was sexy, what was sad—in other words, the “atmospherics” of a situation.”

Includes essays and notes about the albums Vernal Equinox, Earthquake Island, Possible Musics, Dream Theory In Malaya, Aka-Dabari-Java, City: Works Of Fiction, Fascinoma, Maarifa Street and Listening To Pictures. ... more

about

Part of a series of three new archival releases from Ndeya that showcase Jon Hassell and group in the late 1980s exploring a radical tangent on his Fourth World sensibility.

Further Fictions is a double CD anthology of the music on the vinyl editions, with a disc devoted to each album in hardbound book style
packaging, and an extensive booklet containing sleevenotes and archival images.

The first disc ‘The Living City’ documents a performance at the Winter Garden in New York City on 17 September 1989, mixed live by Brian Eno. The second disc ‘Psychogeography’ sees Jon taking a Teo Macero style scalpel to the original session tapes of the 'City: Works Of Fiction' album and coming up with a situationist inspired alternate version of the City album. Beguilingly different takes and the raw excitement of early demos are skillfully sequenced to concoct a different dimension of sounds from the original release.

Comes with 32 page booklet featuring extensive liner notes and photos.

about

Jon Hassell Los Angeles, California

Jon Hassell pioneered a musical ethos he dubbed 'Fourth World', a mixture of traditional Indian Vocal style - which Hassell adapted for the trumpet - and advanced electronic techniques, a style which manifested itself in his seminal first album 'Vernal Equinox'. His career since then has seen many influential solo works as well as collaborations with Talking Heads, Peter Gabriel, amongst others. ... more
