Exploded my appreciation for so many Sun Ra tracks. Rocket Number 9 is fantastic, but the vocals on When There is No Sun really landed that song in my brain. Incredible interpretations.

Even at 80 years old, Pharoah Sanders played his tenor sax with the conviction of a gospel preacher. Every second of this album is arrestingly beautiful. As far as I'm concerned, this is essential listening for anyone who considers themselves a fan of music. 3sidesinasquare

Unlike any other. Its feel is both reflective and down to earth, and the compositions are easily differentiated despite their relative shortness. Not only a pleasure to listen to, this album is rhythmically complex, but not in a maddening, hard to process way. Also, very clever album title. ianjworsomething

Freestyle hectic jazz that soars and plummets and goes on weird dixieesque diversions, or gets stuck on an idea and plays it like a mental tic. Aggressively polite, overly welcoming and carrying an edge. Tom Colquhoun
