Description
• SUN-RA AND HIS ASTRO INFINITY ARKESTRA - My Brother the Wind (El Saturn Research ESR1970)
• Original U.S. Stereo Pressing
• Original El Saturn Research Label (black label with silver text & logo)
• I GRADE THE VINYL AS VG++ Some light topical abrasions (mostly superficial sleeve marks inflicted in storage over the years) are visible but are not visually distracting or audible. For the most part, the vinyl looks great. The original luster is completely intact, the vinyl still shines and sparkles almost like new.
• The labels are clean with no writing.
• The cover (VG++) has some minor shelf ware that is a bit more noticeable do to the fact that the cover is so white. The seams are completely intact and the spine is perfect. The graphics are sharp and vivid. DO NOT let this opportunity pass you by.
• My Brother the Wind is actually more a companion piece to Night of the Purple Moon than its Vol. 2namesake. My Brother the Wind, Vol. 2 is split between Ra's solo Moog workouts and full Arkestraproceedings, while My Brother the Wind shares the same lineup as Night of the Purple Moon, with Marshall Allen's alto, piccolo, and flute substituting for Stafford James' electric bass. Ra plays two miniMoogs instead of miniMoog and Rocksichord, with Danny Davis on alto and clarinet and John Gilmore on drums. But while the focus on Night of the Purple Moon was on composed numbers, My Brother the Wind is a much freer session. The title cut is just Ra on his two miniMoogs and Gilmore on drums. One Moog has a bass type setting, while the other sounds something like whistling white noise (wind?). "Intergalaxtic II" is a full freakout session, with both altos going crazy in the right channel, Gilmore's drums in the left channel, and the miniMoogs in the center. "To Nature's God" is just Ra and Gilmore again. "The Code of Interdependence" has Ra really putting the Moogs through their paces, although Gilmore also gets some tenor space (with Danny Davis moving to the drums, presumably). If you're into the "out" side of Sun Ra, and like his singular and unorthodox Moog playing, try to find a copy of My Brother the Wind.
