Product description

Jon Hassell's "City: Works Of Fiction" is a groundbreaking exploration of sound that defies conventional genres, blending ambient, minimalism, avant-garde, and drone into a cohesive and captivating whole. Released in 1990 under All Saints Records, this album is a testament to Hassell's innovative spirit and his pioneering work in the realm of electronic and experimental music. The album's nine tracks, including standouts like "Pagan," "Mombasa," and "Warriors," showcase Hassell's signature processed trumpet work, which floats ethereally over a landscape of avant-garde rhythms, drum machines, and early sampler technology. "City: Works Of Fiction" is not just an album but a journey through time and space, with each track offering a unique sonic experience. The album's expanded edition, released in 2014, includes additional tracks that further enrich this already immersive listening experience. Whether you're a long-time fan of Jon Hassell or a newcomer to his work, "City: Works Of Fiction" is an essential addition to any music collection, offering a timeless exploration of sound that continues to inspire and captivate.

This is a 2014 Reissue Remastered released as a 2LP set.
