CMRCD 002 SUN RA AND HIS ASTRO INFINITY ARKESTRA My Brother The CD 11.2017
Wind, Vol. I (Expanded Edition)
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. 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."

CMRLP 003 SUN RA : GOD IS MORE THAN LOVE CAN EVER BE LP 05.2018
CMRCD 003 SUN RA : GOD IS MORE THAN LOVE CAN EVER BE CD 05.2018
"God Is More Than Love Can Ever Be is something of a rarity in the Sun Ra catalog
- a cohesive album with none of the stylistic eclecticism and musical chair shifting
many of the artist's self-released LPs were known for. Recorded at Variety Studios
one day in 1979, the album's five tracks comprise a solid jazz trio set.

Triple-LP version. Tri-gatefold cover. "Considering the monumental depth of Sun Ra's
recorded oeuvre, there are surprisingly few solo piano albums. Monorails & Satellites
Volumes 1 and 2 were the first commercial LPs of the artist's solo keyboard excursions.
Recorded in 1966 and released on his Saturn imprint in 1968, Volume 1 featured seven
idiosyncratic originals and one standard ('Easy Street') delivered in Sunny's singular
manner. Volume 2 was released the following year, and contains five compositions, all
originals. A third volume was prepped but shelved, and this deluxe edition marks its
premiere release. As with all Cosmic Myth releases these volumes are superbly mastered,
and are available with copious liners notes by renown American jazz pianist Vijay Iyer,
and additional overviews by jazz historian Ben Young and producer Irwin Chusid."

CMR 005 SUN RA AND HIS MYTH SCIENCE ARKESTRA : WHEN ANGELS CD 12.2019
SPEAK OF LOVE
"One of a number of sessions cut at the Choreographers' Workshop, this 1963 set
establishes Sun Ra's Arkestra as a New York band, sonically coupled to developments
in the decidedly urbane downtown arts underground. The stargazing clamor of the music
reflects the intensity of a cultural crossroads where concrete and dust pervade any
skyward view, from East 3rd Street to Mars and beyond. One of Sun Ra's rarest releases,
it had negligible circulation through shops. While most of the Saturn output couldn't
get any rarer or mysterious than it already was, When Angels Speak of Love was released
in 1966, it was the most elusive and mysterious in the Sun Ra catalog. It's speculated
that the record was issued in two micro runs, with estimates around 150 copies. Hard
core collectors around the world had been searching for this gem to no avail until
Evidence Records' released a CD of the music in 2000. This updated offering utilizes
the actual master tapes and we get to hear the Arkestra in its cosmic mid-60's prime
via mono and stereo fidelity. Features three additional stereo tracks, with liner
notes by jazz historian Clifford Allen."
