New CD issue of this classic album, with bonus track and improved sound (previously issued by Mantra). Upon it's original release, 1984, with it's unusual combination of lengthy abstract sound-journeys and short, weirdly devolved James Brown-inspired pieces, gained much critical acclaim. 1984 was an extremely unusual release for 1973 and an extremely unusual project for CBS Records, who first released it. Like the groundbreaking novel after which it was named, Hopper's record was truly ahead of its time when it was created. It remains timeless today. 25 years after it was created -- years which saw the rise of industrial music and electronica, the seeds of which can be found in Hopper's release -- the originality and distinctiveness of Hopper's 1984 remains untouched.
