    He sucked so hard the floor was left dust free.
    Horribly pretentious wankering.

  7. is it a DX 7 I cant see it, but then I have never seen a DX7 for a LOOONNNGG time.
    I know SunRa did use a Crumar and a Model B Minimoog at one stage..

    One of my fav recordings is Oblique Paralax on vinyl only its all Model B Moog, and it is a live concert which sounds like a rocket journey for 20 mins, at the end you can hear people say "what was that!" :-) I would think it is one of the first all noise tracks, if Xenakis didnt beat him to it.

  8. I like his name.

    But a lot (not all tho) of the footage/music I've heard makes him come across a ultra pretentious ultra wanker.

    Anyone can do what he does when full of enough drugs. ultra drugs.

  12. He may have never done drugs, but the CIA had a special program to genetically modify famous artists at the time so their sweat would spread a special variant of Epstein–Barr virus encephalitis designed to fuddle the mind and render it incapable of opposing the reptoid government at the time.

    Since those days however, the world has been ruled by more benevolent reptoids and budget dollars have been properly focused on fighting the real threat: The second coming of Gozer the Destructor, Gozer the Gozarian, Gozer the Walmartian.

    In fact, Gozers temples have sprung up all across the Mid-west and beyond!

    So.... back to Sun Ra. There is a project, I've only heard rumors about, in which Cobra Commander (funded by the CIA no doubt) is building a super-funkster out of all the DNA of the past great funky-people to brave the heart of Gozers Walmartian temples. Yes, Walmartian, for the main temple of Gozer is a Pyramid on Mars.

    Sun Ra even took his name from the martian pyramid (it was his CIA anti-Gozer code-name). The BBC tried to introduce the public to the horror via screen-programming: http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/classic/episodeguide/pyramidsmars/

    I mean, you can just read the Wikipedia:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Doctor_Who_villains#Sutekh

    "Suketh the Destroyer" "Suketh the destroyer of all living things"...

    His real name is Gozer however, just like in that Ghostbusters movie.

    Is it any wonder the stars of Ghostbusters never won an Oscar? It's the power of using the true name Gozer without Sun Ra SPF 50 protection.
