This is just a curious observation that I want to put up for discussion on this unrivalled and beautiful album. The 'Tracks Empire III' and 'Darbari Extension II' undoubtedly have a very similar basic rhythm. But their overlapping rhythms are strikingly similar in their structure to an Indonesian-Western popular style, namely the - today somewhat dusty - Kroncong! This is all the more interesting because the album is strongly influenced by Indonesian music culture, but I don't believe that this similarity was consciously brought about! ...

For me this is the high water mark of the work of Jon Hassell. A tremendous synthesis of Fourth World soundscapes which resonates to this day.
