Free Music Notes for Space Is the Place
Free Music Review: As much a classic as "Kind of Blue"
Hit: 5 Stars
After watching the excellent film, I decided to go out and pick up the soundtrack. I certainly was not dissapointed. The opening "Space Is the Place" is a bit tedious, but who said art had to be entertaining? The album's other classic, "Rocket Number Nine", was subsequently covered by NRBQ. This is truly what galaxies thousands of miles away must sound like. Any avant-garde jazz fan or just 50s - 70s jazz fan in general must pick up this album. Greatest jazz album ever? Possibly.Free Music Review: SPACE IS A GOOD PLACE TO START!
Hit: 5 Stars
For those about to leap into the Sun Ra catalogue, this is one of the essentials. The expansive title track is one of the most ambitious things Ra committed to vinyl-- and it works, despite its seemingly unwieldy length. It's hard to write about an album which needs to be heard to be believed... certainly it's one of the best jazz records of the 1970s. And two decades later-- Blur quoted from it!Free Music Review: Outer Space
Hit: 5 Stars
Not being a great conoisseur of Sun Ra's work, I still feel confident enough to say that, in spite of psychodelic "spices" that might seem trendy, in spite of "etno" components, this CD shows deep and profound jazz feeling on the part of the band leader and his musicians.
And even if youre not a true jazz fan you still might enoy this eccentric music.
Free Music Review: Fantastic
Hit: 5 Stars
The title cut is one of the most amazing songs ever recorded in the history of music recording. It is one of the very few pieces, of all time by anyone, which deserves adjectives such as "mindblowing." The shorter pieces are upper level Sun Ra recordings. Powerful, incredible music.Free Music Review: Not a Spinoff, Not the Soundtrack
Hit: 5 Stars
This is a CD release of the album "Space is the Place," originally on Blue Thumb. It is neither the soundtrack to the film of the same name, nor a spinoff. It predates the film by a couple of years. It is an essential Sun Ra release from the 1970s.
