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…

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