INTRO: It's hard to convey how revolutionary this music sounded
when it was released in 1980 — the product of maverick avant-
garde trumpeter JON HASSELL. (Yes, that unearthly lead
instrument is a trumpet, alchemically transformed beyond
recognition by HASSELL and producer BRIAN ENO.)

The album kicked off a projected series called "Fourth World"
music — a fusion of Third World ethnic sources and sophisticated
electronics. HASSELL pronounced the genre "classical by structure,
popular by textural appeal, global-minded."

On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we track the evolution
of the Fourth-World vision to a new generation, on a program
called POSSIBLE MUSICS.
