One of the greatest Sun Ra albums, and scarcely imaginable that almost none of the compositions here were ever played anywhere else again (the big exception being a minute of so of Space is the Place). El Sunny Ra kept steaming ahead, just creating more and more for the people in the coming centuries to gradually come to love and understand....
I like how Sun Ra's music shoos away people who have not been experienced. He speaks to your spirit and for some people that is an unsettling experience. His music is not always nice or pleasant or cool but that is how life is and so his music is a more accurate portrayal of our spirits procession through life.
You have to listen to a buch of Sun Ra before you get the full range of his abilities. Jazz, new orleans, Do Wop, Disco, avant guard, swing... its all part of his Omniverse.
good album with sun ra and his Arkestra, has that funk jazz thing going on. always loved this bands free flowing jazz style. with 100 albums to their name and over 1000 songs, what a legacy they have.
+Jamie Warrior Warlord McCallum yeah they have SOOO many albums.. I been just getting into sun ra a couple months now and every single day I find a new album I haven't heard haha.. Love it!
we are just now starting to figure out what these cats were up to all those years ago.Sun Ra,Albert Ayler,Don Cherry all light years beyond the days in which they worked and lived and created their best stuff.
My dad uttered pretty much this same sentiment 20+ yrs ago about this cat and had me convinced that Sun ra was the 1st Original Mothership 'aka Maggot Brain.! Not that me and my old man agreed on a lot of things but after listening to an array of Sun ra's music, I had no rebuttal to my old man's assessment .
+TheSUNRA21 I love the keyboard sounds...somehow they sound like mid 80s Casio keyboards! He achieves some wonderful sounds that float my boat. Drum machines too. Fantastic.

@@michelepiteo7179 I can't think of who said this term except they 're a Rasta revolutionary activist, the physics of love, he was talking about reggae but I think it applies here and I believe there is a book out called the physics of jazz as well so there's some other people out there thinking like you.

Just when I am yet again convinced that Ra was a genius, there comes along something like this to blow me out of the water in greater amazement.
That bass line in the beginning. OMG

Absolutely correct, brother. Also, included in that range is the great master of collective improvisation, Fletcher Henderson.
WUV the Fletcher, and Joe King Oliver, and Jelly Roll and especially the Duke.
+doren garcia "Omniverse", I like that

He is one of Jazz's best kept secrets.

Just tried this on 3 tabs - such a fuller sound!
After listening to Sun Ra & Zappa I feel so intellectually more enlightened & fulfilled. Thanks guys!'
Try Throbbing Gristle or Coil. Different, darker, but uplifting in a unique way.
I'm sorry but you can't compare the God Sun Ra with Zappa
try faust
@@SaccidanandaSadasiva two different styles both sophisticated music
You can never go wrong, only right into ethereal bliss, listening to a Sun Ra album.
Fela got some tune from Sun RA!
Great keyboards. Love this album!

Written while listening to Sun Ra’s disco 3000
2/19/15 2:11 a.m.
Tapping into new gateways
Sun Ra’s magical fingers playing the keys
Opening the Gates of Heaven
Cosmic sounds, vibrations, frequencies
breathing new forms of being into existence
Space is the place is what the Grand Architect said
Cosmic Godfather
take a funky ride wit’ me
flowing reactive energy eternally burning me free
energy manifested physically is spirit first before it manifests
so everything is spirit energy
extended life forms of the Masterpiece
get a piece
you are the piece
together we unify in mastery, purity
Sanctified in the Eye of Truth
Ase Amen Ra Ma'at Tehuti
deified matter
Matters
Melanin is the creative force that activates eternity
The truth(reality) of it all and nothing at all shall set us free
Emancipation of Soul
Omnipresent flow
Mystical, Spiritual, Celestial
Galactic Black Hole
everything is you everything is me
If we didn’t exist what would we be
everything you need to know you came (to Earth) equipped with
Activate it through knowledge of S.E.L.F.
Spirit Elevating Life Forever
Tell your story
Tell your truth
Speak from your relation to the ALL
share in your experiences
preserve your blood, your life, your lineage
Revere your Ancestors, Know your Ancestors
Pay homage to your Ancestors
by continuing the truth of their legacy
which is yours

SUBLIME
Oh MAN :)) The title is correct
but sun ra was very specific about costumes
as a sort of color therapy he called it.
...parts of the new radiohead cd sounds like this...
Since it was recorded in Italy, where "disco" just means "disc" as in "record album," I wouldn't read too much into the title.
...where s DANCE OF THE COSMO ALIENS? the best song of this album and may be one of SUN RA s best
Does anyone out there have the album My Brother Wind Vol. I, and could they please post it? I don't think that one's ever been reissued.
1977 or 1978 @ the Jazzbunker in Rotterdam
a mi me trajo j.rocc !!!!
that's disco?....far out.....!!
the mothership has sailed
Got my copy from hhv.de
Parts of this sound like the new radiohead cd.
