[blackandtanful]

[wshandyman]

Thats sun ra.

[aqualash]

I bought this on vinyl and its one of the most extraordinary jazz albums.

Its timeless.

[Antisyzygy]

This Jazz does not sound like space. It sounds like being stuck in some weird elevator with a cigar smoking midget in a tuxedo that keeps asking you "What Floor?" while a flapper couple is making out and you are sweating from the heat. When you finally reach your floor after traveling upwards for several minutes, you look out and a notice you are back at the floor your started from, but it drastically changed color and the door man is now an alligator.

@Antisyzygy Okay Hunter S Thompson, nice imagery. ^.^ .. this feels like space to me, at about 1:50, it's kinda sad or melancholy. It reminds me of how lonely it must have been on distant worlds or our own millenia ago before Jesus shot his load all over our solar system.

[Cherenkeke100]

Again speechless.

[djpeteret]

'nother home run by ra.

[live360]

I've heard many versions of this song. All offer something unique. Ra's work is remarkable.

[ESSENCEOFEACHTHING]

Who else has done it?

[live360]

Oh, I've never heard any other groups cover this song. However, Sun Ra recorded it many times during each stage of his career. As his overall stylistic approach changed in each period, so too did his approach to performing this song.

[ptose]

to my knowledge there's only a version very slow with electronic effects by the Two banks of four... quite interesting

[tcumbie]

Please check out Respect Sextet's recent version, record is called "Sirius Respect: Sun Ra and Stockhausen." Their version is quite nice!

[ptose]

thank you very much for the reccomandation :)

[ESSENCEOFEACHTHING]

I get a vision of a woman dancing on stage.The club is dim.She's belly dancing,along with other moves (dancing very slowly to the music) The sun is shining through the half open door which is the source of light.There are about 4 people in the club.The woman is not that attractive,but the way that she dances makes her sexy.

[live360]

That's interesting. Sun Ra's music does inspire movement. Ra however disapproved of displays of sexuality. One time a woman began to do a striptease to his music and he refused to continue playing until she clothed herself.

[tcumbie]

Yes, probably because he felt what he was doing was spiritual, not carnal! Many people seem to think it's somehow an invitation to debauchery, which I can understand he might not like. He was a very serious musician.

[soulrebel68]

@tcumbie I understand your defence, but actually Sun Ra and an early group of his did in fact play bump-and-grind music to accompany strippers at one point. (I think this is on his Wiki bio.) They needed to pay the bills, and probably also had semen in their balls like any other men.
