Hit: 5 Stars
This 2-CD set was released in February 2008 and is a companion to Disco 3000, as both chronicle Sun Ra's experimental 1978 concert tour of Italy.
Utilizing a Crumar Mainman synthesizer - which allowed for pre-programmed bass lines and electronic percussion - Sun Ra was on the cutting-edge of what was soon to become a revolution of sound in the avant-garde/free jazz movement.
The band is down to a quartet, with John Gilmore (s), Michael Ray (t) and Luqman Ali (d) filling in the spaces to Sun Ra's sonic vision, while being given the space to blast off into incredible solos. The most solid performances are Constellation and the title track.
The original tape source had deteriorated, so there are rough spots in the recording. But the historical importance of this tour makes for a satisfying journey.
