Art Forms Of Dimensions Tomorrow
1961 released 1965



Tracks

1. Cluster Of Galaxies
2. Ankh
3. Solar Drums
4. The Outer Heavens
5. Infinity Of the Universe
6. Lights on a Satellite
7. Kosmos in Blue

This is probably of all the Ra albums heard so far one of the most head of time. The last one I complimented for being a solid jazz album, and this one is the opposite. This is probably the furthest straying into the abstract(Angels and Demons at Play did a little, but this takes it five steps forward). I wouldn't say it's as solid as a few of the ones before, but definitely a good listen through, and through. My only real complaint was yet again having to hear the composition Ankh which is good but I don't understand why it needs to be on every other album. Still though, fantastic piece.

High points being Kosmos in Blue(A near 40 minute avant-jazz-ambient piece which is very drony. May I add, this was recorded in the early 60s), and the absolutely amazing "The Outer Heavens"(which sadly, I can't find a youtube link to).

8.5/10

Dustin Hoffman and John Travolta declined the role for the same reason. When Al Pacino was considered for the role of John Rambo, he turned it down when his request that Rambo be more of a madman was rejected.
Al Pacino = God
