SUN RA - LIVE IN ROME - March 28th, 1980 - Double C.D. Set

SUN RA: LIVE IN ROME DOUBLE CD SET - March 28th, 1980


This concert heavily features Sun Ra's piano, accompanied by vocals and very tasteful horn section. From solo blues and lounge on up to a soaring ten piece band. Sun Ra's arrangements span the entire history of music and far beyond, reaching into the future. This release is of such a high quality recording it sounds like a missing studio album.

A great document from the Sun Ra Arkestra recorded live at the Teatro Giulio Cesare in Rome, Italy in the spring of 1980, with Michael Ray, John Gilmore, Marshall Allen, Kenny Williams and Danny Ray Thompson on horns. June Tyson provides vocals, and the large set list includes Sun Ra classics like "Space is the Place", and "King Porter Stomp". An excellent example of the Sun Ra Arkestra's sound and performance.

MEAT IS MURDER! An Illustrated Guide to Cannibal Culture - By Mikita Brottman

MEAT IS MURDER! An Illustrated Guide to Cannibalism - By Mikita Brottman

Violent death, murder, mutilation, eating, defecation, ritualism and bodily extremes - cannibalism combines all or many of these themes to represent one of the most symbolically charged narratives in the human psyche's repertoire.

As a grotesque figure of power - the cannibal has played a formidable role in all cultures throughout history from earliest times - oral, written, films etc. - It embodies the ultimate extent of transgressive behavior that a human being can be driven to.

MEAT IS MURDER ! is a unique and explicit exploration into cannibalism, from classical myths and early primitive natives to contemporary films, fiction and real-life modern age cannibals like Albert Fish, Ed Gein, Jeffery Dahmer and Andrei Chikatilo - and features an in-depth study of cannibalism in the cinema from mondo and exploitation films to horror and art house movies. Includes Film Index.
