Na ilha

O Sun Ra tinha de estar na lista.

Numa noite de Verão vou-me tornar Um com o Cosmos mas vou precisar de uma ajudinha...

Que disco levar? Os Heliocentric Worlds? As noites da Fundação Maeght? O Lanquidity?? Os Singles???

Os Singles!! 

Têm o doowop um bocadinho esgrouviado dos Nu Sounds, dos Cosmic Rays e dos Qualities. O muito esgrouviado Yochanan, o Little Mack , a Juanita Rogers, os blues de Lacy Gibson (onde, num deles, jura que há-de desmascarar o Batman)...

Depois é encher os dedos com os anéis de Saturno, ouvindo todas as Arkestras e Arkistras em formato de single.

O Cosmos é onde um Homem quiser.

A música é o mais cómodo meio de transporte.

A canção
