    You are looking for "lanquidity" on philly jazz.

    space is the place on impulse.

    If you like this check the Discipline 27-11 album as well, from the same sessions. Hard to find, but so worth it for tracks like 'Neptune' and 'Pan Afro'.

    Please to send your unwanted Su-Ra LPs to LA for inspection.

    space is the place on impulse.

    I would say that SPACE IS THE PLACE is more haunting keyboards than laserbeam keys.

    Lanquidity is my favorite followed by Strange Celestial Road.

    i don't know if i agree, the keyboard work on the title track is very atari 2600.

    don't know if it's laserbeams, but it's definitely not "tepid piano jazz".

    Lanquidity, Strange Celestial Road, Space is the Place, Sleeping Beauty, and I really like Atlantis[/b]

    Peep the hommie SoulonIce's set sale, he has a Sun Ra lp for cheap.
  • AaronAaron 977 Posts
    Might as well throw Astro Black into the mix if you like strange key tones and haunting, disembodied voices.

    tepid piano jazz really? i like his early caravany sound as well as the cosmic craziness stuff with that space synth organ thingy.



    heliocentric worlds of sun ra, vol 1

    space is the place (big co-sign)

    atlantis

    cosmos (if you want the lasers coming out the keys)

    Did anyone peep the SUN RA DEDICATION album?

  • nickjnickj 53 Posts


    No love for Cosmic Tones for Mental Therapy? Not a lot of piano at all, actually, but those echo effects are ridiculously raw power. Listen closely. Adventure Equation is one of my favorite Sun Ra cuts. I love this album so much.

    Nah, never heard the Dedication album....looks ill.

    Speaking of Batman...



    "Originally released in 1966 as a children's record of "Batman & Robin" for Tifton Records, this Tom Wilson produced session with Sun Ra on organ [/b]features The Sensational Guitars of Dan & Dale. Includes trumpeter Jimmy Owens, trombonist Tom McIntosh, Al K"

    Got it.

    And I need to cop the picture disc version.

    Co-sign on most of the above...Sleeping Beauty is too damn good for someone who doesn't actually like Sun Ra![/b]

    For those unfamiliar with it:

    Pan Afro
    Neptune

    Though probably not really what the topicstarter was looking for...

    Your right!
    I find it to be one of the most accessable albums he has and a good introduction...I can't find an OG but "spring time again" may be my favorite Ra song

    Not in the lasers-coming-out-of-the-keyboards category, but I really like this one:


    Not all the way 'out', but still far from being straight. Ra on the rocksichord.
