The Heliocentric Worlds of Sun Ra, Volume Two
1966



Tracks

1. The Sun Myth
2. A House of Beauty
3. Cosmic Chaos

An astonishing album from start to beginning. Albeit, it lacks the sheer forceful genius of the first volume. the second Heliocentric worlds is not one to be missed. Especially, in terms of percussion experimentation. There's really scaresly any albums I've ever heard with the same multitude of layering in terms of percussive genius as this album. Even by Sun Ra standards, it's ambitious. This album is a monument to progressive improvisation. Obviously, at this point Sun Ra's been doing this for years, and has his. This is a monument to progression through jams, and truly a Sun Ra masterpiece.

9.5/10

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
