POSSIBLE MUSICS - JON HASSLE/ BRIAN ENO - FOURTH WORLD VOL 1 - IN SHRINK, 1980, US, NM/NM
I unsealed this gem myself! Hassell and Eno doing what they do. Incredible! In shrink, hype sticker
Released in 1980, Possible Musics (Fourth World, Vol. 1) is a groundbreaking collaboration between Brian Eno and trumpeter Jon Hassell. The album explores the concept of “Fourth World” music—a fusion of electronic ambient textures, world music influences, and avant-garde improvisation. Hassell’s heavily processed trumpet takes center stage, weaving exotic, otherworldly melodies over Eno’s subtle synth backdrops and percussive soundscapes. Tracks like “Delta Rain Dream” and “Charm (Over ‘Burundi Cloud’)” feel both ancient and futuristic, creating a meditative, timeless experience. This album laid the foundation for countless ambient and world music experiments that followed.
Fun Fact: For Possible Musics, Brian Eno experimented with using shortwave radios to create atmospheric textures in the background, incorporating fragmented signals from around the world to enhance the album’s global and otherworldly feel. This technique reflected his fascination with randomness and the unpredictable beauty of found sounds
