A New Sun Ra LP touches ground in the earthly bins, 50 years after it's creation! Sun Ra is still trying to get our attention 50 years after dispatching this transmission. Humanity's path since then makes his message even more urgent today. Years after Herman Poole InchLeSony'r RaInch Blount Inchleft the planetInch he's still trying to reach us, to wake us up and to change our destiny. Sun Ra and the Arkestra weren't a traditional studio band, and every star in the vast galaxy of their discography reflects this. The origins of these records can be hard to pinpoint at times, but when it comes to Thunder Of The Gods, it's a bit easier. InchCalling Planet Earth - We'll Wait For YouInch was discovered on tapes from Ra's, Universe In Blue, believed to be recorded in '71. The raucous title track and InchMoonshots Across the SkyInch are unearthed from the '66 Strange Strings sessions. Modern Harmonic has once again paired Ra's sonic art with the visual art of InchThe Father of Modern Space Art,Inch Chesley Bonestell, whose 1952 work InchFormation of the Earth's ContinentsInch sprawls across the front and back covers.
