One (Ra EP)
''One'' is Ra's debut EP and was released in 2000. The songs "End of Days" and "What I Am" were not included on their debut album ''From One''. However, "What I Am" is included in their album ''Black Sheep (Ra album), Black Sheep''. ''One'' was only sold (for $10) during Ra's concerts, and soon went out of circulation when Ra's debut album ''From One'' hit stores. The EP is still available through Ra's online merchandise store, but is otherwise a rare collector's item. In an interview with SoundCheck Magazine, Sahaj Ticotin (the lead singer) talked about ''One'': "It just says Ra One since it’s the first CD. The theme is kind of a double meaning. The record is primarily about loneliness…different variations of loneliness. So I named it One also because of that."
