Yesterday found Jon Hassell teaming up with Mandalay. Today he's hooked up with Bluescreen to try his hand at the ole Trippitty-hoppity hisself. So, OK, it's not really Trip-hop but if Hassell tried it & wants to call it that, whatever...it's close enough for rock 'n' roll.
Jon Hassell was an American trumpet player & composer best known for developing the concept of "Fourth World" music. According to Hassell, "Fourth World" is a "unified primitive/futurist sound" combining various world ethnic music with modern electronics. The concept first appeared on Hassell's 1980 collaboration with Brian Eno, Fourth World, Vol. 1: Possible Musics.
Bluescreen was a loose collective of musicians made up of keyboard player Pete Scaturro, drummer Bryan Mantia, guitarist Joe Gore, & DJ/sampler/programmer BLK Lion.
On Dressing for Pleasure, Trevor Dunn, Islam Shabazz, Flea & Buckethead provide bass on various tracks.
