Complete your Jon Hassell collection. AKA/DARBARI/JAVA is a proposal for a "coffee-colored" classical music of the future - both in terms of the adoption of entirely new modes of structural organisation and in terms of the expansion of the "allowable" musical vocabulary in which one may speak. this structure - leaving behind the ascetic face which Eurocentric tradition has come to associate with serious expression.

Hassell unveiled the concept on his debut album, Vernal Equinox, in 1978. The name Fourth World came two years later, on Hassell’s first collaboration with Brian Eno, Fourth World Vol. 1: Possible Musics. Parting company with Eno – temporarily as it turned out – Hassell co-produced Magic Realism with Daniel Lanois, who had engineered Dream Theory. Hassell’s liner notes describe the new album as the blueprint for a coffee-coloured classical music of the future, in which the allowable musical vocabulary is expanded to include influences from beyond the European tradition, creating serious music with transcultural appeal and a smile – a precise definition of Fourth World.

I've been a fan of his since his Eno collaborations. This album is very much in the same style of the Fourth World series, with Hassell's computer treated trumpet playing over synth loops and Abdou Mboup's tuned drums. The whole album is at once eerie, disturbing, and strangely soothing. The treated sound on the trumpet is mostly a lush harmonized sound, that gives it a moaning quality, like a distant train. Much of the tape loops are sampled sounds from an old Hollywood orchestration.
