Introducing you our Premiere, Mothership #2 

Talal Al Saymaree can be regarded as anything but your typical producer. Inspired by IDM, Vaporwave, the eclectic Brainfeeder label, Playstation Memory and Footwork. Ch4ins4w sets out to always be neck deep in an uncanny and,   at times, euphoric waters. Never the one to shy away from taking left turns and injecting a healthy dose of humor  into his productions, Talal doesn’t seem to try to subvert expectations, but his work speak volumes to his love for  the foreign and off-kilter.

[PREMIERE] Ch4ins4w- Vandal Feat. Sirens And Satyrs

title track from the forthcoming LP :::

Within Sun Ra’s vast-as-outer-space discography, the album that orbits the furthest away from the known jazz universe is Strange Strings. Calling it a “study in ignorance,” Ra directed his Arkestra stalwarts to pick up unusual stringed instruments and homemade percussion with which they had little familiarity, and improvise without any guidelines or direction; the resulting record is one of Ra’s best. Now, Roaratorio is proud to issue a satellite around that lonely planet: Other Strange Worlds, recorded in Ra’s NYC apartment in May of 1965, dates from the same era and employs the same methodology as Strange Strings. But while the latter album featured the full Arkestra, Other Strange Worlds pares the players down to a core quintet of Ra, John Gilmore, Marshall Allen, Art Jenkins, and Ali Hasaan. There’s plenty of freewheeling collective improvisation in the Ra catalog, but rarely in a small-group setting such as this. Half of the pieces are texture-over-tonality string experiments, while the rest feature exotic reeds and percussion. Other Strange Worlds is a significant addition to Sun Ra’s body of work, and a brilliant example of free improv from the days before it had a name. 

“There’s always more Ra being issued than anyone can keep up with. But this one’s essential. Don’t skip it.” – Byron Coley



Sun Ra & His Astro-Infinity Arkestra - Other Strange Worlds

In 1972, Sun Ra inked a high-profile deal with ABC / Impulse, bringing his recorded work to the widest audience he’d had to date.  A slew of Saturn back catalog titles and two newly-recorded albums (Astro Black, Pathways To Unknown Worlds) were issued before ABC cancelled the contract, dumped the records into the cut-out bins, and left the unreleased albums to languish.  Now, over four decades later, Roaratorio is proud to offer one of the lost Impulse recordings for the first time.  Sign Of The Myth hails from the same studio session as Pathways, and shares its emphasis on guided improvisations.  With a constantly shifting palette of Moog textures, Ra tosses off a dazzling array of ideas throughout, supported by the usual Arkestra stalwarts; in particular, bassist Ronnie Boykins and drummer Clifford Jarvis are in shining form here, giving shape and solidity to these pieces.  Sign Of The Myth is a welcome augmentation to an especially fertile period from Sun Ra’s time on Earth.

Heavily melancholic since 2005, Jesus Is My Son goes pop in these 2 lighter songs taken from his recent set: Peaceful and tense on 'Innocence' with its clear melody and natural harmonics; With an arabian feel and detachment on 'Insouciance'.
