Fourth World was a term that the trumpeter Jon Hassell used to describe the music he began producing in the 1970s. His vision was "a unified primitive/futuristic sound combining features of world ethnic styles with advanced electronic techniques."

The Fifth Circuit is part of the 8 circuit (or system) model of human conciousness as proposed by Dr Timothy Leary and explained and expanded upon by Robert Anton Wilson. The 5th (Neurosomatic) Circuit is the 1st of the "higher" circuits of the right brain which are dormant in most humans. Upon it's activation the compulsive, terrestrial mechanisms of the 1st 4 circuits begin to seem facile and outmoded. Neurosomatic turn-on perhaps prepares us for the next stages of evolution, even pre-capitulates the experience of life in space. "What are you here for? We are all here to go."
