Jon Hassell - Psychogeography [Zones Of Feeling] (Black 2LP Vinyl)

Jon Hassell - Psychogeography [Zones Of Feeling] (Black 2LP Vinyl) The bombastic explosions of worldly sounds in Jon Hassell’s City: Works Of Fiction dropped in 1990, depicting an imagined future of thought provoking oxymorons: urban ancients living everywhere and nowhere blasting hypermodern folk hymns from their speakers. Over thirty years later, it still sounds far out yet totally familiar. It was a fruitful time for Hassell, who later drew a map of the city with alternate takes, demos, and studio jams in the form of Psychogeography, released in 2014 and reissued here in all its glory. Charting this oneiric metropolis, Hassell and co wander aimlessly through sonic highways where global architectures meld seamlessly together. “Psychogeography” stems from Situationist philosophy, where one disregards the designed layout of a city and instead moves through its “zones of feeling”. Combined with Hassell’s fourth world concepts, this companion album to his 1990 epic forms an even deeper melting pot of times, spaces, moods, and places, drifting through hypnagogic ambience and electrified sensory overloads. Fusing infinite influences, Psychogeography is a necessity for anyone looking to broaden their musical horizons. TRACKLISTING 1. Aerial View 2. Neon Night (Rain) 3. Cityism Superdub 4. Harambe 5.
