BOOKLET

Three new archival releases from Ndeya that showcase Jon Hassell and group in the late 1980s exploring a radical tangent on his Fourth World sensibility.During this period Hassell was inspired by the increasingly innovative production techniques being used in hip-hop, in particular the hyper-collaged sampledelic barrage of the Bomb Squad's work with Public Enemy, hearing it as a kind of extension of the tape splicing that Teo Macero brought to his work with Miles Davis. He began to incorporate more of this aesthetic into his own music, playing over loops of his own performances and riffing on angular juxtapositions of noise, rhythm and melody. The resulting sonic stew is a kind of futuristic sci-fi funk with an appropriately melted production aesthetic - instruments and samples jumping to the forefront then disappearing in themanner of the best dub records.Further Fictions is a double CD anthology of the music on the vinyl editions, with a disc devoted to each album in hardbound book style packaging, and an extensive booklet containing sleevemotes and archival images.DISC ONEThe Living City1 Ituri2 Alchemistry3 Adedara Rising4 Mashujaa5 Paradise Now6 NightskyDISC TWOPsychogeography1 Aerial View2 Neon Night (Rain)3 Cityism Superdub4 Harambe5 Freeway6 Cuba Libre7 Midnight8 Waterfront District9 Favela10 Emerald City11 Cloud-Shaped Time
