We would like to point out that the incidental music used in this episode is NOT by Jon Hassell, who never played the Bassoon…

OK, let’s start here. This is a film of the night before the one that ended up on the record.

…and here’s an interview with Hassell about the album that the concert was kind of based on.

Here’s another live concert that Tom recommends…

…and, although this page is starting to get very YouTube video heavy, here is the album that got Gav into an altered state.

* HERE is a link to Jon Hassell’s website.

* HERE is Hassell’s obituary, which provides a succinct overview of his life and work.

* …and here is Tom’s sampler -

The Elephant and the Orchid - Power Spot

Voiceprint (Blind From the Facts) - City: Works of Fiction

Buzzsaw - Bluescreen: Dressing for Pleasure

Abu Gil (Live) - Last Night the Moon Came Dropping its Clothes in the Street

Caravanesque - Jon Hassell & Ry Cooder: Fascinoma

Viva Shona - Vernal Equinox

Paris I - The Surgeon of the Nightsky Restores Things by the Power of Sound

You might have to look around for these, we’re not sure if all of them are available on the same platform.
