“Sun Ra was, for me, one of the three or four most important musicians in the 20th century. With Hank Williams, James Brown and Curtis Mayfield he has made me what I am. Both as a visual artist and a musician. I once saw him in New York when he played a weeks residency at The Squat Theatre on 23rd Street. I went five times and each time was a revelation. One of the best weeks of my life.”

– „Country Hustle“ is such a fuckin‘ great record. Slow Motion killer groovers, hush-hush vocals, irresistible vibes, melodies to sink in (again and again), deep bass rolling, turn the lights down blue – and dance!“
– Michael, isn’t this a little bit too enthusiastic?
– No, not all. You know what tells you quite often that you have a damned great record in your hands? You just can’t decide what your favourite song is!
