Free Music Review: classic
Hit: 5 Stars
Space was always the place for this master--extraterestrial act aside, Sun Ra was one hell of an arranger and musician. But he never flew as high as on this album
Unlike a lot of his 1960s work, the title track here is distilled to a simple theme, played by the baratone sax. It is almost like the 1960s modal experments of Coltrane or Miles, except Ra is not filling the space--left by modes--with improvsation, but with electronic noises and voices and textures and layering. Masterful.
The rest here is the usual fun and games my favorate marsian dependably provides on almost every album: and this is not to belittle this work.
Only to say that like the Beatles or Zappa and few others, Ra is so naturally good, two toothpicks and a lamp are enough to create music, and I would even buy that.
