Just put together a Sun Ra compilation for lovely Hannah which has involved ripping a load of stuff from vinyl. She's been bugging me for this since last June, I'm not ALWAYS super-reliable! Hannah's getting married to her girlfriend at a special ceremony in Iceland soon. She asked me along as a mate, and also to do the DJ thing, but I had to let her down (family/cost). And yes, like you dear reader, all my friends are super-groovy...
Here's what I put on her CDs:
Bassism (from The Futuristic Sounds of Sun Ra)
Satellites are Spinning (from Solar Myth Approach Volume One)
Love in Outer Space (from Out There a Minute)*
Adventure Equation (from Cosmic Tones for Mental Therapy)
Nuclear War (from Eponymous 12")
Sleeping Beauty (converted from mp3)**
Strange Celestial Road (from Eponymous LP)
Interplanetary Music (from Interstellar Low Ways)
Twin Stars of Thence (from Languidity)
Walking on the Moon (from My Brother the Wind II CD)***
The Golden Lady (from The Nubians of Plutonia)
Worlds Approaching (from Strange Strings)
Friendly Galaxy II (from Nuits de la Fondation Maeght Volume II)****
* This is better than the version on The Night of the Purple Moon.
** "Honest like Dave Stelfox!"
*** I have My Brother the Wind I on vinyl, but it's nowhere near as good.
**** Again, Volume One is the clinker.
The only thing is.....now I don't have a functioning email address for her.
