There Are Other Worlds

Warning: If you have a firm grasp of reality, I mean, you never get that feeling someone is watching you (even when there's no one there) and you never look up the sky and see those moving dots or a speck or something that makes you believe there's more that meets the eye in this world...well: this track will probably not affect you.

But: If you double-deadbolt your doors night and day, you are positive that old lady at the grocery store is following you, you are not necessarily claustrophobic, in fact, you are rather afraid of large gaping spaces because they suggest infinite expansion into the unknown, Gosh! There is definitely more and you are gruesomely afraid that at any moment, some glowing beam will zap you up and horrific creatures or invisible beings will butt-rape you! Then: DO NOT listen to this track, because it will only push you over the edge.

This is, suitably, the last track on the 1978? album Lanquidity by jazz-mogul Sun Ra, who himself was a persistent believer that he was abducted and taken to another planet as a teen--a story which never changed throughout his long eccentric career spanning the American South and replanting in Philly. Indeed, he's one of the jazz greats, often inconsistent in sound, often producing sporadic key-banging noise. BUT: when he peaks, it's celestial, it's hardly suitable for jazz or the concept of genre. Is the world today even ready for this kind of sound?
