  • Ra's Musical Escape Journey

    5 out of 5 stars
    wuzacqezxuDecember 11, 2025United KingdomπŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

    Media dreams truly shines as a complete piece in my ears...I haven't explored his entire catalogue yet(that's an impossible task in one lifetime) ... But there's something magical about Media dreams that keeps drawing me back... It's a purely analytical listening journey... It's all about Ras Ark UFO that he crafted with his arkestra to soar away through frequencies created to escape this dull planet where only animals and nature should thrive..Ra, who harbored no Hate, still used slavery as his muse but in a unique way unlike others...just picture this, without slavery there'd be no blues, no blues means no jazz, no jazz means no funk, no funk means no hip hop so all African American musicians have and still use racism as inspiration for their art..but Ra did it differently... Let's break down how.. Just dive into Media dreams, a true 'Ra'rity within the Saturn collection, and uncover the answers

  • Ra's Sonic Odyssey

    5 out of 5 stars
    ratapgoskoJune 5, 2025United KingdomπŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

    Media Dreams truly shines as a complete piece in my ears...I haven't explored his entire catalogue yet, though it might take more than one lifetime... But there's something magical about Media Dreams that keeps drawing me back. It's an experience that demands pure, focused listening. It's about Ras Ark UFO, the vessel he crafted with his arkestra to soar through frequencies away from this dull planet, where perhaps only animals and nature belong. Ra, who harbored no hate, still used slavery as his muse, but in a unique way. Just imagine, without slavery there'd be no blues, no jazz, no funk, no hip hop. So all African American musicians, past and present, have taken racism as inspiration for their art. But Ra did it differently. Let's break down how. Just give Media Dreams a listen, a true 'Ra'rity within the Saturn collection, and uncover the answers for yourself.
