Here's an intriguing complement to Dylan Howe's outstanding Subterranean. Like Howe's work, Brian Eno's aesthetic underwrites much of Hassell's vision, and Works of Fiction was originally released on Eno's Opal label. Now All Saints have re-released it in a 3CD pack, with a live recording from September 1989, mixed by Eno, and a third CD, Psychogeography: Zones of Feeling. And of course there's a lush wide-grooved LP edition for you growing clans of vinyl freaks. Eno and Hassell had collaborated on the likes of Possible Musics, but Works of Fiction is altogether more muscular, with throbbing bass, urgent synths and samples and of course that signature raga trumpet. It also sets up alliances with dance floor and hip hop, more evidently on the live recording, as on ‘Mashujaa’ which morphs from folky found-sounds to a nasty little groover. Psychogeography veers more to the electronica domain, but to try and cage any of this liquid, city meets surreal music is to set limits which it readily dissolves within it own terms. A seminal release now re-contextualised for a new generation. Lummy.
