Long-sought Saturn reissue from Sun Ra with a mid-size ensemble of some of his most prominent players, the electric side of Ra in amazing compositions mostly unique to this release.
 

Sun Ra and His Intergalactic Myth Science Solar Arkestra
The Antique Blacks



Label: Art Yard
Country: UK

"Another much sought after and long unavailable title recorded in 1974 with a smallish ensemble consisting (probably) of stalwarts Marshall Allen, John Gilmore, Danny David, James Jacson, Akh Tal Ebah, Clifford Jarvis, Artakatune, and new electric guitarist, Sly, that was released on Saturn in the same year. This sounds like a studio recording, carefully thought out - most of the compositions appear only on this record (apart from versions of "Nature's God" and "Space is the Place"), and include a chain of very interesting accompanied /interpolated) spoken texts: "There is a Change in the Air", "The Antique Blacks", "The ridiculous "I" and the Cosmos "Me"" - as well as a very long and scary coda to "Space is the Place". Ra plays Rocksichord and Moog throughout (solo on track 7 and at the end of track 8). Theatrical and political; this is a fascinating release."-ReR Megacorp
