READING LIST


JON HASSELL


So this is really worth a read . . . . . . love Jon Hassell's work from being introduced to it by Brian Eno's ambient label . . . . . .




“This record fascinated me. It was a dreamy, strange, meditative music that was inflected by Indian, African and South American music, but also seemed located in the lineage of tonal minimalism. It was a music I felt I’d been waiting for,” says Brian Eno in an essay included in the liner notes of the newly reissued Vernal Equinox.

Interestingly while I understand the feeling Brian expresses here I felt the same way about his music . . . . .
