Description
Handclaps and the communal chant on the 20-minute Space Is The Place build until Sun Ra’s Minimoog needles through and the horns fan out in waves. Cut in the early 70s, Sun Ra and the Arkestra’s Space Is The Place is the door most people should open first, a blend of ecstatic groove, ceremony and free play that still feels ahead. Discipline 33 cools the temperature with hushed, close-voiced horns and poised rhythm, while Rocket Number Nine snaps into a strutting pulse you can actually move furniture to.
This LP pressing gives the music room to breathe, the low end sits deeper and imaging tightens so chants, claps and reeds separate cleanly. File it near Pharoah Sanders, but expect more prankster electricity and sci‑fi ritual than mystic solemnity. For Melbourne heads who only know the film soundtrack, this album sequence is a different, tighter trip.
Prefer to order from home? You can buy Sun Ra records online through our shop.
Pick it up if you want spiritual jazz that laughs as often as it levitates, and an Arkestra at the peak of its collective telepathy. It belongs in any thoughtful collection and rewards every late-night revisit. Still essential 50 years on.
