Sun Ra - Lanquidity (1978) / Heliocentric Worlds Vol. 1 (1965)









Currently sucked into Sun Ra's expansive space jazz universe. Two shares, a pair of mind-benders. It's astounding that Heliocentric Worlds was recorded in 1965. I don't usually buy the phrase 'ahead of its time', but that applies here in a way--at once of another time, the future notably--and timeless. There, you see, I'm even beginning to sound like Sun Ra.

The sample here should motivate you to get both of these masterpieces...















LANQUIDITY


HELIOCENTRIC I
Apologies. The folder you're about to snatch says Vol. III. It is most certainly Vol. I. Please fix this after you grab... I'll fix when I get a minute.

  3. Thanks for the links! Although the second link is in fact "Nothing Is..." from 1966, not Heliocentric Worlds Vol 1
