Jon Hassell – The Surgeon Of The Nightsky Restores Dead Things By The Power Of Sound LP
Much like the majority of Hassell’s output, there’s an unmistakable dreamlike quality that blankets this record. This one in particular treads deeper into dark mysterious corners, revealing itself at a slower more considered pace, making it one of his most intriguing works.
Originally released in 1980; “Recorded live and mixed by none other than Brian Eno, ‘The Surgeon…’ is one of Fourth World inaugurator Hassell’s most breathtaking full-lengths, capturing the physicality of his performance and matching his lopsided trumpet work with hypnotic synths and ghostly, muted percussion. If you’ve not jumped into his catalog before, this is the perfect starting point!” -boomkat
