"The music of Sun Ra is the sound of the spheres - it speaks to each of us individually. We are its interpreters. This series, however, explores for the first time, the spoken word of Sun Ra - his poetry and pronouncements, from the streets to the spaceways. With this first volume, we present recitations that I have selected by Sun Ra and also by assorted obscure voices he hand picked to verbalize his compositions. My intention is to divulge an untapped side of Sun Ra, wherein he sought to verbalize his outer space concepts. These recordings have sat in the vaults for too long, awaiting a time they should rocket from the crypts into a hungry, vapid world." ~ Michael D. Anderson (The Sun Ra Music Archive)
