Editorial Reviews

Two separate concert recordings from 1971 and 1972 on one CD. The first features a haunting 'Egyptian lounge' piece, Intergalactic Research that takes the listener to some magical place. The second has wild synth playing and Arkestra freakouts all around June Tyson's beautiful vocals.

This review is from: Intergalactic Research (Lost Reel 2) (Audio CD)

Part of an ongoing series of releasing tapes from a variety of sources, the 57:07 features seven selections from a pair of concerts; Berkeley 1971 and an unknown location in 1972.

A few ticks over 24 minutes comprise the three pieces from Berkeley, with saxophonist John Gilmore delivering an amazing solo on Untitled Improvisation and vocalist June Tyson taking center stage in a four-song sequence - but considered one number - that begins with Strange Worlds.

The 1972 concert is Sun Ra at his experimental best - Moog, Outer Space - with The Arkestra in full flight on an untitled track and Intergalactic Research.

The Sun Ra concerts were very special experiences for the audience and this 2007 release takes the listener back to a time when a special connection was achieved through ground-breaking free jazz.
