Fresh 4th World Music Endures

4th World" = a fresh music style that goes beyond the 1st-World's adoption of 3rd-World tunes, and even after 40 years, 4th World music still feels new and ageless.
Hassell's Unique Ecstasy
5 out of 5 stars

Truly one-of-a-kind. Only Hassell could create music like Hassell. When someone seeks out similar tunes, here's the catch: Jon was a pioneer, not a settler, so not many ventured down his path. A intoxicating blend of loops, percussion, airy brass, and gamelan rhythms intertwine and linger. Journeying while standing still, no substances needed. Pure ecstasy.
