John Hassell & Brian Eno- Fourth World, Possible Musics Vol. 1 (Editions E'G, 1980)

I'm going to assume we all know Brian Eno, here.

"Jon Hassell (born March 22, 1937) is an American trumpet player and composer. He is known for his influence in the world music scene and his unusual electronic manipulation of the trumpet sound."(wikipedia)

"...Hassell, a student of both Karlheinz Stockhausen and Pandit Pran Nath, created a deadly combination that would resonate for decades in world-music compositions: the ghostly sound of his trumpet lost in nightmarish electronic background. His trumpet was both a call of the wild and a wail of grief, both as ancestral as possible in a modernist setting." (text from here)

Brian Eno- The BBC Sessions

Brian Eno rocks it well on this Italian bootleg of his early sessions at the BBC. The record itself has a handful of crackle & hiss moments, but that just comes with the territory. 320 vinyl rip by yours truly.

"Wimoweh"
