Our Take
If a musical spaceship were to dock on Earth, it might sound a little like Sun Ra's Lights On a Satellite - a cosmic journey through the outer realms of jazz and funk. This album is a sonic voyage like no other, with Sun Ra's signature blend of avant-garde arrangements and experimental sounds. From the moment the funky bassline kicks in on the opening track, "Space Is the Place", you know you're in for a wild ride. Sun Ra's virtuosic keyboard playing weaves intricate patterns throughout the album, creating a lush soundscape that is both soothing and electrifying. Tracks like "Satellite Groove" and "Alien Jazz Dance" showcase Sun Ra's ability to blend genres seamlessly, creating a fusion of jazz, funk, and electronica that is truly out of this world. The experimental nature of the album may not be to everyone's taste, but for those willing to take the plunge, Lights On a Satellite offers a musical experience unlike any other. The production on the album is top-notch, with every instrument and sound effect perfectly balanced to create a rich and dynamic listening experience. Sun Ra's quirky lyrics and off-kilter vocals add an element of whimsy to the album, making it a joy to listen to from start to finish. In conclusion, Lights On a Satellite is a must-listen for anyone looking to expand their musical horizons and explore the outer reaches of the jazz genre. Sun Ra's visionary approach to music continues to inspire and captivate listeners, proving that the legacy of this jazz legend is truly timeless.
