Cosmic Tones for Mental Therapy was recorded in 1963 but not released until 1967 on Sun Ra's own Saturn label, the record has become one of the most discussed of Ra's New York recordings.
Cosmic Tones functions as a kind of blueprint for the sort of large-scale jazz weirdness that would inform much of Sun-Ra's subsequent works, featuring the woozy reeds of And Otherness and the afro-jazz experiments of Thither And Yon.
On Adventure-Equation a space echo treatment on the recording (which is reprised for the sax flurries on Voice Of Space) makes the whole experience even more disorientating than it already is.
A truly exceptional record demonstrating how far the man was light years ahead of his contemporaries

Side A:
And Otherness
Thither And Yon
Adventure-Equation
Side B:
Moon Dance
Voice Of Space
