- sun ra and his year 2000 myth science arkestra: live in london 1990
(1996, cd, uk, blast first bffp60cd)
June 1990, Sun Ra and his Year 2000 Myth Science Arkestra played three nights in London. The last one of these concerts got released on three 10" LP's in a limited run (by The Wire) in 1990. Fortunately, it got re-released on CD in 1996 on the Blast First label.
The actual concert is very good. A nice mixture of big band music and free jazz soloing. Sun Ra's keyboards are very prominent on this album. Great stuff. Great solos.
And the album not only includes the typical Arkestra chants, but if features Ra on lead vocal on 'Down Here On The Ground' and June Tyson and James Jackson on 'Cosmos Song'.
The only minor thing is that "Live In London 1990" is an average audience recording. The sound isn't too good and you can even hear people talking during the concert. Too bad, 'cause the concert itself is great.
