I've been a bit obsessed with electric pianos recently, and this track's piercing Roksichord has become my baseline mind music of recent weeks -- which is to say that when I don't have something else on the brain, this song starts playing. I'm not a Sun Ra expert, so I can't say how this compares and contrasts with the rest of his extensive discography, but there's an unrushed meander to the melancholy of this piece that keeps me coming back. A lot of the magic of music is the right melody meeting the right instrumentation, and this is an excellent example.
