Our Take
"Sun Ra Artyard in a Box is a mind-bending journey through outer space and inner consciousness. This album is as elusive as it is captivating, with Sun Ra's unique blend of free jazz, electronic experimentation, and cosmic philosophy. It's like taking a trip on a spaceship with a mad scientist at the helm. The opening track, 'Space Is the Place', sets the tone for the rest of the album with its frenetic drums, erratic saxophone solos, and otherworldly synths. It's a sonic assault on the senses that leaves you gasping for air and clutching at your headphones. Throughout the album, Sun Ra's band The Arkestra showcase their incredible musicianship, effortlessly blending genres and pushing the boundaries of what is possible in jazz. Tracks like 'Interplanetary Music' and 'Satellites Are Spinning' are masterpieces of improvisation, with each member of the band taking turns to shine. But it's not all serious space jazz on Sun Ra Artyard in a Box. Tracks like 'Rocket Number Nine' and 'We Travel The Spaceways' inject a healthy dose of funk and groove into the mix, ensuring that this album is as danceable as it is thought-provoking. In conclusion, Sun Ra Artyard in a Box is a wild and wonderful ride through the mind of one of jazz's true visionaries. Strap in, turn up the volume, and prepare to have your mind blown."
