Oh my god! If there was something stranger than Sun Ra, Then humanity should be alarmed a bit '.
Nothing is in perpetual motion like this album And I fear that the Earth will never again be graced by something like that.
Sun Ra was a eccentric screwball who came from Saturn, played a clavinet (A keyboard instrument played by archetypal), field feeding on piles of garbage from George Lucas, dressed as ancient Egyptian, was a fire-eater in his shows, because you do not fucking believe how pure a angel, attended the Rotary Club of Grosseto and often went to dinner at Bill Gates. Sorry, the last two are not true, but Sun Ra himself was a absurd liar ...
This is free-jazz stage more experimental, Using instruments never heard before then to create a'Only to plot music as in its intentions, something alien and at the same time spiritual. Sun RaAmong other things, was also a musician a invented the day music cosmic.
Using electric keyboards under a years after their appearance, Sun Ra quickly pushed the new technology to the extreme limit.
Surprise, intrigue and terror, then, and the fact that Sun Ra believed to have met these extraterrestrial people is really the most normal thing in the middle of everything.
And, among other things, was also a musician ..

Well, I still prefer his rendition of Pink Elephants on Parade, a revorking of an old Disney tune appearing on Stay Awake compilation. He could do all sorts of things in an unique way.
Watch out for a standout track „Dawn“ recorded live in Egypt with some local allstar musitians. This is a real order of the songs and their correct titles. Forget mp3 tags since they are splendidly wrong. This cd is long time out of print and thus I hereby am correcting this injustice.

Ole Lukkøye

Ole Lukkøye are part of the Russian underground. The band was formed by Boris Bardash and Andrej Lavrinenko in St. Petersburg in 1989. With the release of their second album "Toomze", the band showed the high ambition they aspired to: It's a concoction of British ArtRock, musical influences from all parts of the former Soviet Union and elements of ambient and trance which makes this music so intriguing. The group fuses traditional Russian styles (for example that of the Tuva-region in southern Siberia) with current western rhythms and sounds. The result, a dark and shamanistic psychedelic trance rock with much percussion and many acoustic instruments, opens a door between east and west. Ole Lukkøye knew the early albums of Faust, which found their way into the Russian music scene and acquired a cult following there. Thus the contact was established and after a meeting, the two parties agreed that Ole Lukkøye's fourth album Crystal Crow Bar was to be produced at Faust's studios in the spring of 2000.

Ne Zhdali!

Gloriously wild, shamelessly blending elements of punk, Rock in Opposition, and traditional party music from Russian and Jewish extractions. Exit the mathematical instrumental compositions; these songs scream, shout, and laugh. They tap into the Ex's energy but pair it to the craziness of Palinckx and the Stick Men to cover up the sweet-and-sour feelings of a country freed from communist oppression but unable to fulfill aspirations. The horn section (Vadim Veeremaa and Oleg Davidovitch) plays intentionally out of tune; the rhythm section (Ilya Komarov and Vitaly Redchits) grooves through complex beats and sudden left turns, making them sound logical, almost inevitable. On top of it all, Soybelman sings his songs of surreal love in Russian and occasional Hebrew. Sounds like Melt Banana an Naked City covering beloved Soviet popular songs but in a wild & joyous mood.
Saw them play live twice and both concerts were damn good. I remember that guitar had an amp "Dinamit" (dynamite), of course made in USSR. It did not sound like that you know...

here are a few nice soviet guitars... but I wasn't able to find a picture of the amp anywhere. Anybody?
