they certainly wear their influences on their sleeve! - sounds like a young Gary singing, I wonder what he'd make of it
Been playing some of Muse:
The Resistance again recently. For an album that on first play left me scratching my head in uncertain be'muse'ment
parts of it have now really grown on me. Was listening to the lovely orchestrated trio of songs at the end while walking home from work the other evening and during the gaps between tracks I could hear the birds chirping at dusk, really went so well with the music.

Jon Hassell… I've seen him once in the early eighties… they had a huge palmtree on stage under which Jon sat and played his prepared trumpet.
...has this album other musicians playing on it?
Actually,
The Moon Came Dropping Its Clothes In The Street was mentioned in this thread last year, by Radiobeach and Mr Ilektrik (I think), that’s what reminded me to go check it out, and quite a few other musicians do make their contribution on it
I love Fourth World Vol 1 & 2, though Possible Musics is a bit of a sore point as I have to make do with my old cassette version, I’m really hoping it will get a new CD reissue. In fact Fourth World Vol 1 was my first experience of anything as musically different as it is, a college friend I lived with in ’83 (a big Eno fan) had bought the LP on its release, I remember he played it to me one day and I couldn’t listen to it, I likened it to the aural equivalent of being stuck indoors and watching the rain through a window.
Its funny how your tastes change, in ’87 I remembered it, and bought the Vol 1 & 2 tape edition, and played it religiously!
