Vizil

This is an essential release, if it's not in your collection, you are missing out. The sound-world Hassell and Eno conjure up on this recording was hugely influential. Hassell's entire "4th world" era catalog should be heard, but this, for me, is the stand out release - closely followed by The Surgeon Of The Nightsky Restores Dead Things By The Power Of Sound. Perfect music for those nights when you've had one too many bowls of charas, put this on, tuck yourself in, and drift away. Truly inspiring listening.
