Everyone talks about Spirit of Eden and Laughing Stock - rightfully, they're 2 of the best albums ever made - but The Colour of Spring gets just as much if not more play around my house. Immaculate bridge between synthpop and.. well, heaven.

an intriguing narrative or a novel context can’t save you if your music is just ok. i don’t care if “he recorded the album on his grandma’s decaying 8track machine while his house was slowly flooding with water” if the tunes are mid worth remembering this IMO

Farewell to Jon Hassell. His music is pure magic to me. Ever since I heard his recordings the first time, and seeing his concerts, I was completely mesmerized by it's beauty .. surely my most favorite composer of all time. R.I.P. #jonhassell

And now farewell to Jon Hassell (1937-2021), on a relentlessly cruel weekend for the musical avant garde. His body of work joined the dots between Talking Heads, @brianeno and Terry Riley, offering us a mesmeric new way of hearing the trumpet. Just listen to his music!!

rest in peace Jon Hassell. an explorer who traced paths for so many after him to follow. entire schools of tonal shaping, effects processing, & production/arrangement carry his influence. I feel like I hear something every day that I think “oh, sounds like Jon Hassell.” a king 🙏

Hi @stephanmathieu Curious: is 'incredevirrA' built around Kronos Quartet's arrangement of Tallis's 'Spem in Alium'? Wow, I love it!
