as omnipotent and all-knowing ruler of the planet Speck you can certainly call yourself Speck Ra, or the Artist Formerly Known As 60 Beans with no overtones of hubris. p.s., i’m diggin’ this track a bunch.

Isn’t it a sign of severe narcissism to talk about oneself in third person with a pseudonym? There was a European king, don’t remember who, probably French, who used to refer to himself as just “he”. “He wants food” when he was hungry and so on.
Anyway, you get away with calling yourself whatever you want because you always deliver excellent stuff.

jazz for the space age - and traveling through space you are bound to meet yourself anyway in some shape or form

So interesting and so very nice to hear Ivan’s piano piece in this lovely interlude. For me, it was like spending time in an attic and rediscovering things that I’d missed without knowing it.

The organ solos are incredible, I can assert I have never heard something like that ever before. Thank you for that. It was a lil painful, but thats also is part of the concept of pleasure, right? Love what you do.

I’ve been trying to figure out if I’ve heard anything like this before, it seemed strangely familiar to me. Its just dawned on me, I was remembering a little known space-rock-improv album from about a decade ago..

Spaceheads and Max Eastley - The Time of the Ancient Astronaut

Very weird album to listen to if you’re out at night in a foreign city (which is the way I heard it).

Classic Speck. Have you read Orson Scott Card’s “Ender’s Game”? Listening to this musical journey reminded me of the story :)
