SUN RA - SPACE IS THE PLACE



First ever US BluRay release of this iconic beacon of Afro-futurism!

Out on vinyl and on CD

CD Box Set limited to 1100 units world wide.
Includes Mathematics Of The Altered Destiny, a full CD of unheard music from Sun Ra featuring June Tyson!

CD Set Ingredients:

2CDs (one previously unissued)
A BluRay Disc of the Entire Film with bonus content
A DVD Disc of the Entire Film with bonus content
A 28 panel booket with photos and liner notes by esteemed Afrofuturism scholars.
All secured in a pizza box style package

This deluxe package includes 2CDs, a BluRay Disc, and a DVD. The audio portion contains the original music composed for the film, which was eventually released as a soundtrack in 1993. It also features The Mathematics Of The Altered Destiny a third previously unissued LP recorded in the same soundtrack sessions but is finally being released half a century after it was recorded. This newly discovered LP is heavy on the prose of Sun Ra, as he and June Tyson bestow countless bits of information and inspiration onto the listener. The film soundtrack is an entirely different journey than the 1973 Blue Thumb LP it shares its title with. We suggest you take both journeys. These recordings were sourced from the Sun Ra tape vault, then were digitally restored to make an album this special sound the best it possibly could.

The BluRay contains the entire glorious film complete with film artifacts, and was sourced from the restoration prepared by Rapid Eye Movies of Germany. The bonus features on the BluRay are composed of Ra and Ra-centric material from the Modern Harmonic archives, including video from the Outer Space Visual Communicator footage.
