    More esoteric offerings from the none-more mysterious and controversial Light Sounds Dark label who have an incredible knack for giving heads what they didn't know they needed.

    One day in the year 2099 a rare comet will pass the earth, the planets will align during an equinox and Sun Ra will come down in his spaceship, emerging from a ball of pure white light as he vomits a purple crystal cloud which will spell out the catalogue number: LSD043.

    These crystals will be kept inside an ice cavern below the earth's core for one thousand years, before mutating into an alien embryo which will recite the track listing of The Gesu-ƨ Plateau (Enslavement of the Species).

    In the meantime, you'll have to wait for the detectives on Discogs.
