There were some interesting loose ends in the last posts to this thread. Unfortunatly, I don't have any knowledge of the areas being brought up, but maybe someone has something to add?

I'm pretty sure they'll get to show it on BBC two at some point so maybe we can all talk about this a bit more then.

"Fate" is kind of typical of Arkestra stuff from Chicago '60/'61, a mix of influences - Latin/ exotica/ big band/ some bop - all nice stuff, that track "Space Mates" (a flute/piano ballad) is especially good.
"When Sun Comes Out" is an odd sort of record. First track is ca. 4 minutes of gongs and assorted tinklings and patterings with a female vocal towards the end which suggests Sonny owned a few Yma Sumac records! The second track sounds like it was recorded at the bottom of a mineshaft - a very deep mineshaft - but the rest of the album is very professionally recorded (it's in stereo!), with none of the heavy reverb and sonic jiggery-pokery of other albums recorded around the same time (NYC '62-'63). It's not as "out there" as contemporaneous Sun Ra recordings but still pushes a few boundaries and has THE definitive version of "We Travel the Spaceways", which lurches menacingly and unsteadily ever onwards like an evil robot in cheesy 50s sci-fi movie.
