Secrets of the Sun
1965



Tracks

1. Friendly Galaxy
2. Solar Differences
3. Space Aura
4. Love In Outer Space
5. Reflects In Motion
6. Solar Symbols
7. Flight to Mars

Not a bad Ra album but not a particularly good Ra album. Seems quite cut down compared to previous works. there's a lot of experimentation in there as always with songs like 'Solar Symbols', but in general this one feels a tad bit just kind of meh in comparison to the rest of the catalog. Worth a purchase if you see it in a shop, or for a listen if you're wanting to explore the Sun Ra discography but nothing really worth seeking out for. Albeit, it does end with a damn good 17 minute jam track at the end. Which is the only thing that bars it form a lukewarm 5.0 rating.

5.5/10

Terence Hill, as recently confirmed during an interview to an Italian TV talk-show, was offered the role but rejected it because he considered it "too violent". 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
