My personal primer on where to start with Jon Hassell - The entry point: "Fourth World, vol. 2: Dream Theory in Malaya" / If you only listen to one: "Fourth World, vol. 1: Possible Musics" / If you’re in a rush: "Aka/Darbari/Java" / The autobiographical one: "Last Night The Moon Came Dropping Its Clothes in the Street" / The one to give a miss: "Fascinoma" / The one to cheat a bit with: "City: Works of Fiction" / Honorable mentions: "Power Spot", "Vernal Equinox", "The Surgeon of the Nightsky Restores Dead Things by the Power of Sound", "Maarifa Street"

Imho the essentials are Fourth World Vol. 1 and 2, Vernal Equinox and Aka / Darbari / Java. You can choose one of these to start with, they're all great, and the approach isn't drastically different between each album. From there, I think you can choose between his jazzy stuff (Earthquake Island, Maarifa Street, Fascinoma, Last Night the Moon etc.) and his electronic side (The Surgeon of Nightsky etc., the last two Pentimento albums). If you just want more fourth world stuff, Power Spot is good as well.

Listening to his music more and more, I came to a conclusion that Jon Hassell might be a genius.

Welp, looks like he's broke and needs help with medical expenses. Here's a gofundme link for him https://www.gofundme.com/f/jon-hassell-fund

Hello everyone! I would like to present my audio/visual project Królówczana Smuga (the name sounds like Royal Streak but didn't have a correct equivalent in English). If you like experimental, drone, ambient, soundtrack music, I encourage you to listen. I wish you interesting experiences! Greetings from Poland. https://krolowczanasmuga.bandcamp.com/releases

The sound is so ECM-like, I definitely like it, and that's a discovery for me the sound influenced by indian classical music!

Last Night the Moon Came Dropping Its Clothes in the Street is everything I want in an album.
