Sun Ra - 2 CDs, 1961-1963

Two notes-first, this is a CD release, combining two albums. Second, the info included in the files states that the recording session of Cosmic Tones for Mental Therapy was 1961 or 1962. I'm sticking to the AstroBlack discography and saying 1963.

Art Forms and Dimensions of Tomorrow is an experience. I highly recommend listening to tracks 6 through 11/12 separately from tracks 1-5.. The first track, Cluster of Galaxies, uses feedback or some sort of electronic device to an amazing effect. It is in stark contrast to what was the last track on the vinyl edition, Lights on Satellite.
As far as Cosmic Tones for Mental Therapy goes--also a very solid album. Thither and Yon is memorable. After listening to this album last night, and it had been awhile, I liked Voice of Space much more than earlier listens. Maybe it was the mood?

Enjoy.
