Our Take

In a world where jazz reinvents itself with every note, Sun Ra and his Solar-Myth Arkestra are the ultimate pioneers, pushing boundaries like no other. The Solar-Myth Approach Vol. 1, pressed onto pristine white vinyl for extra cosmic vibes, is a mind-bending journey through the outer reaches of musical possibility.

From the moment the needle hits the groove, you're transported to a universe where saxophones sing with alien tongues and drums pulse like the heartbeat of a distant star. Ra's avant-garde compositions defy definition, blending free-form improvisation with complex harmonies that defy conventional logic.

Tracks like "Friendly Galaxy" and "A House of Beauty" shimmer and sparkle with otherworldly beauty, inviting you to lose yourself in their kaleidoscopic textures. Each musician in the Arkestra brings their own unique energy to the table, creating a sonic tapestry that is at once chaotic and harmonious.

The production on this reissue is top-notch, with every instrument shining through with crystalline clarity. The White Vinyl adds an extra layer of mystique to an album already dripping with cosmic energy.

So, if you're in the mood for a musical odyssey that will challenge your preconceptions and expand your sonic horizons, look no further than The Solar-Myth Approach Vol. 1. Sun Ra and his Arkestra are here to take you on a journey through the stars - buckle up and enjoy the ride.
