- sun ra and his outer space arkestra: a fireside chat with lucifer
(2020, cd, usa, modern harmonic)
November 2020, the Modern Harmonic record label released a remastered version of Sun Ra's 1983 "A Fireside Chat With Lucifer" album.
I somehow missed this re-release so I'm catching up here.

4 tracks and the sound of this recording is excellent.
The disc kicks off with 'Nuclear War', one of Sun Ra's famous chant songs. It's pretty clear and direct in what it's about.
'Retrospect' puts the Arkestra in the spotlight, where 'Makeup' has a focus on Sun Ra's organ. Both sound great, but the gem of this album is 'A Fireside Chat With Lucifer', a 20-minute (improvised?) epos.
