Jon Hassell: Vernal Equinox Vinyl LP

“I arrived in New York on a beautiful spring day in April 1978. I didn’t know many people, and I had time on my hands, so I was open to things in a way that I might not have been in a more familiar landscape. I listened to a lot of live music and bought a heap of records. This record fascinated me. It was a dreamy, strange, meditative music that was inflected by Indian, African and South American music, but also seemed located in the lineage of tonal minimalism. It was a music I felt I’d been waiting for. I discovered later, after I met and became friends with Jon, that he referred to his invention as Fourth World Music. We had a lot to talk about.” -Brian Eno
