One of the few limitations of Mixcloud is that no mix is *technically* allowed to have more than three tracks by an artist on any mix….fortunately in the case of Sun Ra he had a seemingly infinite number of monikers for the endless permutations and rosters of his Arkestras. This mix is by all accounts not an entry point or an introduction to Sun Ra, but a heady drop in the deep end. The selections lean heavily on the after hour, sparse and meditative wildness that one might associate with psychedelic interplanetary travel. Certainly Sun Ra is a fixture in so much of Ghostropolis and Ghost Gumshoe’s listening and is found and will undoubtedly continue to be featured on future mixes, but here is the first entry into both Pternodon’s Spiritual Free Space channel and Grandma’s Classics channel–a mix length best of/favorites of Sun Ra for the whole family. Enjoy!
