Our Take

Sun Ra's Excelsior Millin is a mind-bending journey through the outer realms of jazz, space, and everything in between. This album is a wild ride from start to finish, with Sun Ra leading the way with his signature blend of avant-garde experimentation and cosmic exploration.

The opening track, "Space Is the Place", sets the tone for the rest of the album with its spacey synths and funky bassline. Sun Ra's saxophone playing is at its best here, soaring through the galaxy with effortless grace. It's a sonic adventure that will leave you breathless.

As the album progresses, Sun Ra continues to push the boundaries of what jazz can be. Tracks like "Journey to Saturn" and "Interstellar Low Ways" are a testament to his unparalleled creativity and musical vision. The way he effortlessly blends genres and styles is a testament to his genius.

But what really sets Excelsior Millin apart is Sun Ra's ability to create a sense of otherworldly beauty. Tracks like "Saturn Moon" and "Nuclear War" are hauntingly beautiful, evoking a sense of wonder and mystery that is truly unique.

Overall, Sun Ra's Excelsior Millin is a masterpiece of avant-garde jazz that will captivate and enthrall listeners from start to finish. It's a must-listen for any fans of experimental music, and a testament to Sun Ra's enduring legacy as one of the most innovative musicians of our time.

About the artist

Sun Ra

SUN RA: The Space Age Jazz Pioneer Picture this: It’s 1914 in Birmingham, Alabama. A baby is born under the name Herman Poole Blount, destined to become one of the most influential figures in jazz history. Fast forward a few decades, and that baby has transformed into the intergalactic jazz overlord known as SUN RA. SUN RA first made waves in the 1950s with his groundbreaking blend of jazz, free improvisation, and Afrofuturism. He famously claimed to be an alien from Saturn, and his music certainly sounds like it’s beamed in from another planet. With his Arkestra in tow, SUN RA became a force to be reckoned with on the jazz scene, pushing boundaries and challenging conventions with every note. His discography is vast and varied, ranging from the chaotic cacophony of "Atlantis" to the sublime beauty of "Space Is the Place." SUN RA's music is like a cosmic rollercoaster ride, taking listeners on a journey through the outer reaches of the universe and back again. But SUN RA was more than just a musician – he was a spiritual leader, a philosopher, and a visionary. His live performances were legendary, featuring elaborate costumes, fantastical stage sets, and mind-bending visuals. He truly was ahead of his time, laying the groundwork for generations of experimental jazz musicians to come. So if you’re looking to expand your musical horizons and take a trip to the outer limits of the cosmos, look no further than SUN RA. Strap in, buckle up, and prepare for a sonic adventure like no other.
