Great.......2007-02-09

Jon Hassell if I am not wrong was highly influenced by Miles Davis and plays the muted trumpet like him. However he was also a collaborator of Brian Eno and you can really get the feeling of these influences on this spectacular record. An ambient classic!

Behold, one of the original masters!.......2005-12-25

If one were ahead of the pack and twenty years later the pack had caught up and stomped all over one's then newly demarked turf, is one to blame and to be scorned as cliched by "today's standards"? Certainly not.

The problem is, sometimes it happens. Hassell, Riley, Reich et al are usually in this situation. Now that their studies of non-Western music have been exploited and rampantly overused by anyone from hip-hoppers to electronica artist as well as avant-garders, their legacy is muddled by nay-sayers and not very knowledgeable folks. A shame indeed.

Hence, the music of Hassel in Power Spot and Fourth World Music is what the latter day acolytes should be measured against, not viceversa.

That said, the music itself is a thrill to experience for the first time (and well beyond). Its use of microtonics, polyrhythms, etc puts to shame many a contemporary ripper-off, setting a standard that still has to be upped. Pure class!

Today's Standards, Today's Schmanders.......2003-04-30

Timeless, sublime, beautiful, otherworldly. Forget most of today's derivitive, mixing hip hop, copy cat, [stuff]. This is the real thing. Hassell was there on Terry Riley's original "In C" recording that changed music for all time. He's the first trumpeter with a new sound since Miles. He's deep into it, micro rhythms, polyphony, microtones, electronics everything. THERE IS NO ONE ELSE LIKE HIM. And this is arguably one of the best. Those who think Eno and his ilk invented alternative music should do a little more research, and find out who the real progenitors are.

boring/cliched............2002-03-21

I loved Eno ,hassell et al when I was growing up,and they introduced me to an invaluable wealth of other styles of music....The thing is, most of those music forms are very easily available now (eg heavy dub, indonesian flute/gamelan,indian classical,armenain duduk,arabic chant, arabic strings/percussion etc etc...) so in a way, Eno et al have made thyemselves redundant...this cd sounded AMAZING back in the 80's...now? It sounds like a corny cliche,"arabian nights" corny arabic melodies,sticky dub bass lines mixed up with Gamelan weaving patterns....

This is not a diss of eno et al....they TOTALLY CHANGED my musical landscape in the 80"s and i believe many many others too...(Adrian Sherwood of ONU dub sound, Hank "Schocklee" of Public Enemy...the list of thier praisers is ENDLESS, so PROFOUND was thier influence....) but, choose carefully when buying in the year 2002...I think "Possible Music" and "bush of ghosts" still sound fresh....This disc? Powerful in 1980"s, now? A dull cliche...

Not very innovative.......2001-05-21

I'm no sure of the original release date, but it sure sounds like 1980's style avantgarde stuff. Most of the sounds and "melodies" are virtualy cliche by today's standards. If you like Eno's "music for airports" this album will probably bore you and you'd be better off with other Hassel albums or Harold Bud.

Music to do Vulcan mind-melds by.......1999-07-04

In the Ayn Rand book "The Fountainhead", a young music student finds the architect protagonist, Howard Rourke, standing on a ledge in a Pennsylvania forest overlooking his latest architectural achievment: a set of buildings for a retreat center. They both look at the elegantly proportioned structures which fit perfectly into the surrounding woods. The student finally tells Rourke that he now has a reason to go on with music, with life--just for knowing there are such people as Rourke and there is such accomplishment. Hassell has taken modern Minimalism, so wonderfully expressed in art and architechture, and created aural Minimalist art. My particular music-student-meets-Rourke experience happens every time I hear Passage D.E. I can feel Spock's fingers at first, but then everything goes, well, somewhere else.

One of the best from one of the best.......1999-02-22

Too bad we haven't heard from Hassell lately other than his forays into dub / electronica (which really has about a billion practicioners, really...) Power Spot is a perfect name for this recording - it has the power to transport you to a amphibious world in the swamps while riding on the back of the winding/swimming reptilian beast evoked by Hassell's processed trumpet. (Note: if you like Kenny G, Celine Dion, Rippingtons' - leave this review as fast you can - this music requires sincere listening and thought).

Album Description

I like to think of Fireking first as friends, secondly as artists. As artists they are a great stimulant; their growth never stops; each step is forward and Fireking are perfectionists in every area they enter.

It has been my pleasure to have a great personal rapport with the group, and working with them has made business a pleasure. Rather than clutter up this site with well-worn cliches concerning their achievements, I will come straight to the point.

This is "Live A Little, Love A Little," the groovy new long-player from Fireking.... And it's the best they've ever made (except for the one they're about to make).

Finally, a real live rock band! Fireking knows who they are and what they do best. They Rock! Refreshing, inspired and honest. The first time I listened to "Live a Little, Love a Little" I was blown away. I want more please.

The Power of the Hat.......2000-02-08

This CD gives me tremendous hope for the music industry. I can only hope more and more composers emulate Mr. Madsen. He has the ability to feel.In turn,I do too. I love this one. Every moment.

Wide range of styles. Defies description........1999-12-07

The Power Of A Hat is an eclectic selection of some of the oddest semi-funk, semi-pop, semi-jazz, always quirky music you'll ever have the chance to hear. It's certainly quite different from Gunnar Madsen's work with The Bobs, and it is a joy to hear how varied Mr. Madsen's talents really are. The song "The Pants" is alone worth the cost of this CD.
