Jon Hassell: Vernal Equinox Vinyl LP

In April 1978, on a lovely spring day, the debut album 'Vernal Equinox' by avant - garde musician Jon Hassell was born. Brian Eno recalled being captivated by this record upon arrival in New York. It features a dreamy, meditative sound influenced by Indian, African, and South American music, fitting into the tonal minimalism lineage. Hassell called it Fourth World Music. This black vinyl LP is remastered from the original tapes and is available on vinyl for the first time since 1978. It comes with a full - color reproduction of the original artwork and a printed inner sleeve, along with liner notes by Brian Eno and Jon Hassell. The music is released under the Ndeya label in 2020.

To enjoy this vinyl LP, first, make sure your record player is clean and in good working condition. Gently place the vinyl on the turntable and use the tonearm to lower the needle onto the starting groove. Sit back and relax as you listen to the unique sounds of Jon Hassell's music. When you're done, lift the tonearm carefully and return it to its rest position. Store the vinyl in its sleeve to protect it from dust and scratches. Avoid touching the playing surface with your fingers as it can leave oils and dirt. If the vinyl gets dirty, you can use a soft, anti - static brush to clean it. Keep the vinyl in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent warping.
