Jon Hassell - The Surgeon of the Nightsky Restores Dead Things by the Power of Sound (1987)



I was going to upload this but you can still buy it on iTunes. A perfect soundtrack to some unmade surreal horror film...

"Raga" trumpeter Jon Hassell's The Surgeon of the Nightsky Restores Dead Things by the Power of Sound utilizes the core ensemble of players previously heard on Power Spot, but with quite different results. Surgeon of the Nightsky is considerably more ambient and less rhythmically animated than its predecessor. Each of the five tracks is named after a city, a theme Hassell would further explore in the subsequent City: Works of Fiction. The tracks of Surgeon of the Nightsky melt seamlessly into one another, forming an unbroken arc that spans the entire album." via iTunes
