Jon Hassell - Fourth World Vol 2. - Dream Theory in Malaya (1981)



















1. Chor Moire
2. Courage
3. Dream Theory
4. Datu Bintung at Jelong
5. Malay
6. These Times...
7. Gift of Fire


Album notes:

Dream Theory in Malaya is titled after a paper by visionary anthropologist, Kilton Stewart, who in 1935 visited a remarkable highland tribe of Malaysian aborigines, the Senoi, whose happiness and well-being were linked to their morning custom of family dream-telling — where a child's fearful dream of falling was praised as a gift to learn to fly the next night and where a dream-song or dance was taught to a neighboring tribe to create a common bond beyond differences of custom. The Semelai are another tribe not far from the Senoi but who live in the largest swamp area of Malaysia. A recorded fragment of their joy-filled watersplash rhythm was restructured and became the generating force for the composition, Malay, as well as providing a thematic guide for the entire recording.

Fourth World Vol. 1: Possible Musics (1980)






















1. CHEMISTRY (Jon Hassell/Brian Eno) 6:48
2. DELTA RAIN DREAM (Jon Hassell/Brian Eno) 3:22
3. GRIOT (OVER "CONTAGIOUS MAGIC") (Jon Hassell) 4:00
4. BA-BENZELE (Jon Hassell) 6:03
5. RISING THERMAL 14° 16' N; 32° 28' E (Jon Hassell/Brian Eno) 3:34
6. CHARM (OVER "BURUNDI CLOUD") (Jon Hassell) 21:24



The term “Fourth World” implies an extension of the third world into an as-yet-unknown realm, which would describe Eno’s collaborative effort with trumpeter Jon Hassell on Possible Musics. Using Eno’s ambient beds as the backdrop, Hassell’s radically altered trumpet (the instrument produces a mournful Middle Eastern sound that almost sounds human) rests on top of sparkling, subtle electronics much like earlier Fripp and Eno albums. The result sounds like “trumpetronics,” as Jon’s trumpet achieves the same muted, dreamy effect as Robert Fripp’s frippertronics. The album represents one in a series of Eno albums that sought to re-cast Eastern music for avant-garde Western ears.

Replicant Rumba Rockers - A Rather Interesting Mix (2002)





















1. El Ovni Mambo - Senor Coconut
2. Follow Me to San Jose - Erik Satin
3. Descarga Mecano - Los Sampler's
4. All Notes Off - Midisport
5. Dreaming of a Huge Reverb - Erik Satin
6. Midi a Gogo - Midisport
7. Florianopoly (Phonie) - Midisport
8. Jazz - Silver Sound
9. Ditto - Dropshadow Disease
10. Dingbats - Dropshadow Disease
11. On the Edge of Fidelity - Roger Tubesound Ensemble
12. Miniature in F Minor - Roger Tubesound Ensemble
13. Stereo Kiss - Ondas
14. Congo! - Silver Sound - (featuring Lisa Carbon)


Replicant Rumba Rockers was compiled and edited by Flanger co-conspirator and Nonplace label boss Burnt Friedman, himself a rather prolific musician. For this album, Friedman went through the Rather Interesting back catalogue to extirpate some of his favourite Atom™ Latin excursions. A rather heteroclite and humorous collection by all standards, Replicant Rumba Rockers is desperately disconcerting.

Jon Hassell-Last Night The Moon Came Dropping Its Clothes In The Street (2009)





















Jon Hassell is the only consistently original successor to Miles Davis' electric output and one of the most original instrumental stylists of the last 30 years. His regrettably low profile is ascribable to the unique nature of the 13 albums he has recorded. Though primarily associated with his own Fourth World tribal/technology concept, his oeuvre reveals a range of other possibilities including bayou jazz (Fascinoma), digital cut-up (City: Works of Fiction) and hiphop (Dressing For Pleasure). Everything, including this album, is worthy of serious attention.

" Trumpet player Jon Hassell is one of the true pioneers of modern music, having played with enigmatic microtonal drone godfather La Monte Young and on Terry Riley’s minimalist masterpiece of the late 1960s, In C, before becoming a student of Indian vocal guru Pandit Pran Nath and finally evolving his own distinctive breathy, sensual, gliding trumpet style as a result. He then went on to record perhaps the most incredible albums of the early 1980s – records that still sound like nothing else on the planet – a beguiling mix of tambora-esque drone backdrop, carefully-processed trumpet, peculiar shimmering moires, and organic ‘world music’ samples the size of atoms "

Kurt Schwitters - Ursonate





















Fumms bö wö tää zää Uu, pögiff, kwii Ee


Kurt Schwitters was born in Hannover in 1887. Refused by the Berlin Dadaists, he started a one-man Dada group in Hannover called Merz . He made paintings, collages and objects; he wrote poems, sound poems and plays, which he published in his own magazine, also called Merz.

Schwitters used phrases such as this to provoke audiences at literary salons, who expected traditional romantic poetry, by endlessly repeating them in many different voices.

Their tracks over the previous releases have licensed to many jazz / breaks related compilations. > This new Flanger album is all about reimagining a period when music was still playful. Back then, people would come to call their songs Spirituals, for the inspiration to sing and play them came from above and would leave them in high spirits. All the more reason to sing and play. > It\'s this spirit that Atom and his longtime Flanger comrade, Burnt Friedman, are trying to catch. Here they explore and relive the emotional sides of this jazzbeforejazz, its moods and sentiments.

Gino Marinacci - ... Idea






















Really hip work from Italian flautist Gino Marinacci -- a player with a sound that's unlike anyone else we can think of, recording here in a group that really matches the best side of his talents! Gino plays a bass flute -- which has a nice low-end, rumbling sort of sound -- quite different than some of the higher-toned flutes usually used in jazz, and mixed here with trombone work from Dino Piana, which makes for a nicely bottom-heavy record that's really great. Other players include Antonello Vannucchi on piano and organ and Angelo Baroncini on guitar -- and the rhythms on the record are often as unique as Marinacci's sound -- not quite modal, not quite bossa, not quite soul jazz -- but with cool elements of all of them. Arrangements are by Marinacchi and Vannucchi, but Piero Piccioni also arranged one tune too -- and titles include "Idea", "Metropoli", "Club Privato", "Comunicativa", "Dialogo", "Intesa", and "Un Volto Una Storia".

D4 You're Getting Better (2:15)


Ken Nordine is world renowned for his sensational spoken words delivered through powerful baritone diction. He’s the most instantly recognizable voice personality in both broadcast radio & commercial television history and his articulate vernacular & dramatic vocalizations earned him the apt title of ‘King of the Voice-overs'. The 1972 release ‘How Are Things In Your Town?’ (deriving its title from Nordine’s spooky tale about a tall stranger in ‘Flibberty Jib?) is a rather nice collection of Nordine’s early seminal works. Although not cohesive in its presentation it is a solid representation of Nordine’s creative range. His speech method encompasses you completely demanding strict attention to his timeless social commentary and even the more strange scenarios and nonsensical utterances. Nordine is very effective at invoking descriptive imagery that chaperons you through numerous portraits of unstable men and journeys through their nerve wracked minds on ‘Looks Like Rain,? obsessions with clocks & time in ‘What Time Is It?,? the ‘Original Sin’ of vermin killing and rat poison disposal, and how ‘You’re Getting Better? by just avoiding conformity. This is excellent material and essential listening for everyone!

Ken Nordine - The Best of Word Jazz Vol 1 (1990)

2 Original Sin
3 What time Is It?
4 Confessions Of 349-18-5171
5 Hunger Is From
6 The Vidiot
7 Reaching Into In
8 Adult Kindergarten

14 Faces In The Jazzamatazz
15 I Used To Think My Right Hand Was Uglier Than My Left
16 Looks Like It's Going To Rain
17 Down The Drain
18 You're Getting Better

Nordine is far better known for his voiceover work than for his albums, but those who do know the albums know the Word Jazz series best. This 1990 compilation gathers together a good selection of the earlier material, recorded between 1957 and 1960. It has a beatnik sensibility, with rhythmic poetic lines underpinned by hip cool jazz backing. It would be a fruitless pairing if it wasn't for two key things: First, Nordine's voice is amazing, polished by years of professional work behind the microphone. Secondly, Nordine's storytelling is solid, and you find yourself being pulled into his world despite the offbeat nature of the material. When you are offered a tour of his brain, as in the CD-only "Looks Like It's Going to Rain," you're glad for the chance to go. A great overview of the crucial formative years.

During his freeform period Hyman played electric piano and later added the organ and synthesiser to the instruments at his command. From the late 50s through to the early 70s Hyman worked as a musician, arranger and composer for Enoch Light's Grand Award, Command Records and Project 3 labels, though as he was still contracted to other labels during this period many of his recordings were released under a pseudonymous title. The surprise 1969 US Top 40 hit "The Minotaur", credited to Dick Hyman And His Electric Eclectics, was the first single ever to be entirely performed on a synthesiser.

Despite being distracted by commercial corporate money music for hire (as well as occasional substance abuse), Tipsy has finally assembled a much anticipated new album, BUZZZ, on Ipecac Recordings; more rhythmically oriented, less loop-heavy than before.

Frenchman Jean-Jacques Perrey is well-known to anyone interested in electronic music, and especially to those who are familiar with the many records from the late sixties and early seventies on which the Moog synthesizer plays a major role. While his colleagues mainly recorded cover versions (varying from Bach to Burt Bacharach), Perrey whether or not together with Gershon Kingsley brought out a number of LPs packed with catching tunes he composed himself. These tunes are all based on the strange squeaking, buzzing and growling Moog effects. At first hearing it all sounds deceptively simple. However, these tunes are always ingeniously put together, especially when you realize the primitive nature of the equipment used.

Thanks to the Dutch Basta label, Eclektronics recently became available on CD. The CD edition contains five bonus tracks, which Perrey and Chazam recorded after the original LP had been released. Amazing album!
