*(((*)))(((SUN)))*(((RA)))(((*)))*



















so i've been digging thru a trove of outrageously good videos on
youtube as of late. lots of outside jazz related stuff. the following
is not so much an outsider thing (especially considering that it
comes to us from the bbc), but it sheds a bit of light on one of the
most misterioso bands slash bandleaders to have ever graced
the cosmos: SUN RA!!!  i say a bit of light because le sony'r ra
was one of the most dedicated and unfliching personas of all
time.  many believed and still believe that he truly came from
another planet. if you are unfamiliar with SUN RA & his variously
named Arkestra then you ought take this worm-hole for a ride:

COSMIC EQUATION

Then another tomorrow
They never told me of
Came with the abruptness of a fiery dawn
And spoke of Cosmic Equations:
The equations of sight-similarity
The equations of sound-similarity
Subtle Living Equations
Clear only to those
Who wish to be attuned
To the vibrations of the Outer Cosmic Worlds.
Subtle living equations of the outer-realms
Dear only to those
Who fervently wish the greater life
