The Chill Room, 22 August 2009, 00:00 PST, on killradio.org.

192k, 65 minutes. Sun Ra 1971-1972, lecture and music at a time of particular genius.

All tracks by Sun Ra and his Intergalactic Solar Research Arkestra from the Transparency sets:
The Lost Reels Collection, Volume One, The Creator of the Universe, and Volume Two, Intergalactic Research.
Helsinki 1971 -- The Complete Concert and Interview.

Music: Theme of the Stargazers / Love in Outer Space / Strange Worlds / It's After the End of the World / Outer Space Race Incorporated / Why Go to the Moon? / Watusi / Enlightenment / Space Is the Place / Somewhere Else / To Nature's God / Intergalactic Research

In 1971 Sun Ra and his Arkestra served a residency in Berkeley, and Ra taught a class called Black Man in the Cosmos at UC. In the fall they traveled to Europe and performed in Scandinavia, Italy and Egypt. This to me is one of Ra's strongest periods, where the movement was beyond jazz and into what i think of as magic tribal music. This show primarily comes from the new Transparency Helsinki release, licensed from the Finnish Broadcasting Company.

Ra was here to show us the way it could be if we were truly free. His clan of musician/angels, including June Tyson, John Gilmore and Marshall Allen, shine with that freedom.

Special thanks to Michael Transparency and my listeners, killradio and podomatic.

I do the Chill Room on killradio.org, and have been here for years. Radio is an extraordinary medium in which you can actually make magic and conjure spirits without even knowing that you're doing it. Somebody got lucky, but it was an accident. The Chill Room is collage, art, literature, science and history rolled into one. (Secrets sometimes are necessary. The Chill Room is designed as a radio narcotic. It will comfortably assist you in relaxing and withdrawing into the sleep, but it can also be habit forming. Some have been known to experience withdrawal symptoms missing only one week of shows. Use with skill and abandon. Eyes wide eagle vision. Disappear like the tail of a lizard.)
