Ravember concludes with Strange Strings, in all it's visionary madness.

This has been a blast.
I didn't include the singles collections for space reasons, but I might even listen to them tomorrow.

I would love to hear your favourites- particularly any that I haven't mentioned this month.

I seem to have ended up here.
Night all.

Cosmos
From the very brief time that Sun Ra was lablemates with Weidorje and Heldon.
Sadly this isn't the Arkestra's Zeuhl record, but it's still pretty out there.

Speed, Glue AND Shinki?
In this economy?!

Strange Celestial Road.
Features 'Say' - one of my absolute favourite Arkestra performances.

From Jupiter to Pluto.
A warm, swinging feel.
One of a few to feature Phil Cohran.
November 27, 2025 at 4:44 PM
XXVI

From Saturn to Jupiter.
UFO is great, but the highlight for me is the sidelong Seductive Fantasy, which features some beautiful piano from Ra.

Thinking that I maybe should have saved this one til last.

The pleasant mood continues.
The 70s artwork on this reissue doesn't really match the music at all, but it is a giant lizard/dragon's eye floating in space.
I'll take that.

The last few have been peak Ra, but they have been heavy.
Lightening things up a little bit.
November 23, 2025 at 3:47 PM
There are few artists that light up my brain as much as Deerhoof do.

Watch set to Astro-infinity time, with the drums of Atlantis

And yes, it is XX, obviously.

Lanquidity
Listening to the alt mix that came in the box set a couple of years ago (probably for the first time).
This mix sounds a bit more fizzy and 'in the room'.
November 20, 2025 at 9:34 PM
Good mail day.
I revisited the Demdike Stare Osmosis mix a while ago.
This was a big highlight, so I'm pleased to have gotten hold of a copy.

Cosmic Tones For Mental Therapy
One of the first that I heard, and a big favourite

Super-Sonic Jazz

I've saved back my 12 favourite Sun Ra records until last, to post from tomorrow onward 🪐

Milkweed - Remscéla
Folk song with scratchy banjo, unheimlich tape-looping and beats that don't sit entirely comfortably.
Excellent stuff.

Look out for the OVC.
I should play this one more often- ranges from tight Arkestra swing to dubby DX7 wigouts.
