Our Take
Sun Ra's "Angels and Demons at Play" is a cosmic journey through the outer reaches of jazz. The album opens with the playful and enigmatic "Tiny Pyramids," as Ra's otherworldly melodies blend seamlessly with the chaotic percussion and wailing horns. It's like being transported to a parallel universe where bebop reigns supreme and avant-garde improvisation is the norm. Tracks like "Angels and Demons at Play" and "Island in the Sun" showcase Ra's unparalleled ability to blend genres and styles with effortless grace. His use of dissonance and unconventional chord progressions creates a sense of unease and mystery, keeping listeners on their toes throughout the album. But it's not all avant-garde experimentation and angular melodies. The album also features moments of pure joy and exuberance, such as the jubilant "Lights of a Satellite" and the funky "When Angels Speak of Love." Ra's band, The Arkestra, is in fine form throughout the album, with each member delivering virtuosic performances that push the boundaries of traditional jazz. "Angels and Demons at Play" is a testament to Sun Ra's visionary genius and his ability to transcend musical boundaries. It's a wild and unpredictable ride that will leave you both puzzled and delighted, wondering where exactly Ra's music comes from. But one thing's for sure – once you enter the world of Sun Ra, you'll never want to leave.
