My Brother The Wind - Vol. 1 - Remastered & Expanded Edition
Format: 2xLP Label: Cosmic MythCondition: Used (I opened this copy and played the records through once just to check the condition - there are a few pops and clicks here and there inherent with most vinyl pressings nowadays - the gatefold album jacket has some very slight wear around a few edges - I put it in a plastic sleeve and separated the records to prevent any possible seam splits during shipping)
Shipping Terms: All of my prices include free USPS shipping, however many items you buy - if the package weighs 1 pound or less I will mail it 1st class - if it's over a pound I will upgrade it to Priority Mail
Note: the price for this record includes free, and expensive, USPS Priority Mail shipping
Double album reissue released in 2017
My Brother The Wind, Vol. 1 captures Afrofuturist visionary Sun Ra's initial 1969 encounter with the Moog synthesizer. The album has been meticulously remastered from archival session tapes and includes rare and previously unreleased studio material. Recorded in 1969 and self-released by Sun Ra in 1970 on his independent Saturn label, My Brother The Wind is one of several albums that showcase Ra's initial reckonings with the then-recently introduced Moog synthesizer. Although the Astro Infinity Arkestra is credited on the original Saturn LP sleeve, only three sidemen were on the session - reed players Marshall Allen, John Gilmore, and Danny Davis, with Moog performance pioneer Gershon Kingsley serving as synth programmer and technical consultant. The original 1970 Saturn release featured four tracks, which are included on this remastered edition. Features the complete tracking session of Ra's Moog-centric single "The Perfect Man," with three full takes of the title, including two previously unissued versions and the monumental 18-minute "Space Probe," an outrageously freewheeling Ra solo work recorded on a Moog (or two) around the same time. The remastered editions include liner notes by Moog historian Brian Kehew. Technical notes are provided by jazz historian Ben Young, who also restored and remastered the album with Joe Lizzi.
Track Listing:
LP1: My Brother The Wind / Intergalactic II / To Nature's God / The Code Of Independence
