Sun Ra Arrival Day Mix - Black Classical (2010)


Does anyone else remember and miss the amazing blog, Black Classical?  No one created mixtapes with such depth and diversity as these guys.  Of all the blogs that have disappeared over the last couple of years, this is one of a handful that I miss the most.

In May 2010, Black Classical presented this mix by Monohub who deftly blends both rare and familiar snippets of Arkestral performances into a fascinating long form composition.  I hope you enjoy his 2-hour tribute as we remember and celebrate the arrival of one of the world's great thinkers and musicians.



Many Thanks to Greg and Monohub of Black Classical for the original broadcast.

    Thanks Reza!!

    I lost track when he went to Space Invader... streaming just isn't conducive to my lifestyle. I seldom have net access when I have the opportunity to listen. Dang firewalls!!

    I thought I probably would post the departure mix. Back in 2010, you sent me a 128k copy of it. If you would like to send a higher res copy, I'd love to have it! Thanks so much for the offer!
