This is Michael Mixerr. Today I am going to review the Moon Ra - Lunacy album from 2016.

When you listen to Lunacy, you will automatically think about that alternative trip hop sound which is quite similar to DJ Shadow or Orko Eloheim. The album Lunacy is out of this world! It's quite futuristic for its time period that it was released in. Lunacy is an amazing extraordinary virtuoso masterpiece album.

Moon Ra discusses his purpose in Hip Hop and Rap on the track Ramanism. His job and purpose is to compose music as a means of communication to the people on the planet Earth.

Inturluna is a hodgepodge of electronic music, hip hop, instrumentals, spoken work, and other sampling used as well. Inturluna is basically an interlude. A lunar (moon) version of an interlude. Voices of various peoples can be heard throughout the minute and a half interlude.
