SUN RA - SPACE IS THE PLACE

• sun ra: soundtrack to space is the place
  (1993, cd, usa, evidence 22070)

The actual title of this album is "Soundtrack To Space Is The Place", the movie that Sun Ra co-wrote, that he starred in, and that he wrote the music for.
The music is very impressive. It goes from the classic Sun Ra tunes to spacy, almost psychedelic, jazz.
For my taste, this album belongs in the same category as the "Somewhere Else" album that I recently mentioned. Essential listening.

The presentation of the disc is awesome. Great cover, great pictures, and a very informative story on Sun Ra's lectures on the Berkeley University in 1971 and how this lead to the "Space Is The Place" movie.
