#1774 Sun Ra - Secrets of the Sun

I do not know what these guys are doing. I don't know if they do either. There's obviously /some/ structure here, the occasional actual tune (Space Aura), the actual planned jazz moment, but this is mostly total freeform freakout, chanting and spattering and skittering and shitting on all yer rules.

It's possibly brilliant, all that rulesshitting. But it also sounds lazy and scattershot, not bothering to put any kind of through-line for the listener, never conjuring any real atmosphere beyond "weird".

If that's all you want though? If you want something /weird/, something to soundtrack a good solid chinscratch, sure, you could do a lot worse 2.5/5
