Jon Hassell's later albums were increasingly influenced by the post-jazz composer's favourite philosophies and thinkers. 'City: Works Of Fiction' - reworked into 'Psychogeography: Zones Of Feeling' here - is a strong case in point. Inspired by the work of French anarchist Guy Debord, who wrote extensively on topics such as surrealism, anti-consumerism and art, culminating in an umbrella philosophy known as situationism, Hassell's later works are perfect hazes, indeterminate ambient jazz storms through which to experience the past via psychic explorations of one's immediate surroundings.
