Splendid post! AFCWL was the first Sun Ra record i ever listened to so it is especially dear to me, being the introductory one, which pulled me into the vortex during a late night session. Mind blown. The next day was something of a revelation, all other music had become secondary. Procuring the Ra discography had become the personal quest (i wasn't a jazz listener) and so a record a day ever since it has been. Two pieces of information would soon shake my very existence: Saturn and Egypt - personal fields of study & fascination for many years previous. So to finish, hearing Mr.Ra declaring "I come from the planet Saturn." was a special moment in time which i interpreted as part welcome, part affirmation that i am indeed on the mystical path of enlightenment.
ReplyDeleteYotte, thankyou, and again for the welcome shout in "Of Mythic Worlds" The name was chosen for the beholder. A little humour is all. Thanks also Paul W for the flac! Gem!
