Sonny Sharrock - Space Ghost: Coast To Coast (1994, Cartoon Network) | Free Jazz, Fusion, No Wavish

[@KERSTEN27]

For the episode entitled "Sharrock" they invited Thurston Moore and made him listen in silence to long impros by Sonny Sharrock. Haunting, unforgettable music. S S was a genius..

[@kwancolon]

I think I just found my favorite guitarist

[@muffin_j_lord]

Been doing a rewatch of Coast to Coast and realizing just how much of the vibe of this show is supported by Sharrock's incredible soundtrack. All rise for the Ghost Planet National Anthem.

My dad just introduced to me to ask the ages yesterday, it's probably the best fully musical album I've ever heard I and hearing this now I can feel his fingerprints all over it, I hope a live to see another guitarist as incredable as sharrock.

[@okay5045]

Highlife is good too but Ask the ages is my favorite and Seize the Rainbow Sonny was a great guy.

[@SplendidCoffee0]

@@okay5045 even though ATA is a better album, Highlife is so infectiously positive, I love it. RIP Sonny

[@Grant-ud2ws]

@@SplendidCoffee0 all three albums produced by the legendary Bill Laswell!

[@okay5045]

Sonny was an amazing guitarist and a great person. Miss you cuz

[@BabelRedeemed]

I think the national anthem is what they played to commemorate Sharrock after he'd died. I was blown away, and it gives me chills as I listen now, 25 years later. Heartfelt gratitude and heartbreak that I had only found out about this genius as he had left us. I liked the show for what it was in my high school days, but the music is the best legacy it has bequeathed me.

[@jizz_moat]

I swear I hear some keys... Or is that all just Sonny mangling his guitar?

[@FireLightning16]

Cinnamon Ghost may be my favorite.

[@charlesclark3840]

I wanna live with a Cinnamon Ghost.

I have Sonny Sharrock’s super-experimental free jazz album ‘Monkey-Pockie-Boo’ on vinyl, released on the BYG Actuel label in 1970. I was reading his bio and just found out that he was responsible for the Space Ghost theme…. I never knew that; have always loved that cartoon. What a treat to discover this. 🐾

[@ba_charles]

no one cares

[@waypoint99]

me too dude! what a great guitarist he was

[@Thecuervogold]

Fantastic album, love sharrock

[@nickg421]

30 years ago now, this show helped lay the foundation for what would become Adult Swim. And honestly I don't think they could have succeeded without such a kick ass theme.

[@fantomasfanto8469]

it’s the hit single - couldn’t be more obvious of the one to radio 😎 i bet you cartoon network was like “😳who the hell is sonny sharrock?!?!! it doesn’t sound like a late nite talk show band. you want to release this on cd? 😳”

[@shanewilliams5150]

best part of the show

[@honeymoonisover]

wdym this was made by sonny sharrock whaaaat?

[@darwinsaye]

He did the theme song for this cartoon, and when he died, they did a whole episode of the show where they just played his music. I don’t know who created the show, but they must have been big fans.

[@quarzoazul1570]

What means No Wavish?

[@thatawfulsound]

Sounding similar to the genre No Wave
