Not only is the album a defining moment in the development of what Eno coined as “Ambient Music” but it also facilitated the introduction of Hassell’s “Future Primitive” trumpet stylings and visionary “Fourth World” musical theories to the broader public. These vectors continue to enrich contemporary audio culture. Eno’s Ambient strategies are now fixed in the DNA of electronic music and the cross-cultural legacy of Hassell’s “Fourth World” concept is apparent not only in the marketplace genre “World Music” but also more persuasively in the accelerating number of digitally driven, borderless musical fusions we now experience. The album has been remastered and includes an exclusive interview with Jon Hassell for the liner notes, as well as a short essay penned by Brian Eno about the influence of Hassells work on his own. The LP is a single vinyl with gatefold sleeve, 180gm pressing and a CD included. The CD is a digifile with a 12- page booklet. youtu.be/0xQdKJUNk3w
