Our Take

The Solar-Myth Approach / Vol. 2 by Sun Ra and His Solar-Myth Arkestra is a cosmic journey through the outer realms of jazz and experimental music.

From the first note, Sun Ra's eclectic mix of freeform jazz, avant-garde soundscapes, and space-age theatrics will transport you to a world where anything is possible.

The album opens with the hypnotic "The Utter Nots", a frenetic swirl of horns and percussion that builds to a fever pitch before dissolving into a cacophony of electronic noise.

Tracks like "Outer Nothingness" and "Infinity of the Universe" showcase Sun Ra's mastery of improvisation, with each member of the Arkestra given ample room to explore their own sonic universe.

But it's on the epic closer, "We Travel the Spaceways", where Sun Ra truly shines. The 25-minute odyssey is a transcendent blend of pulsating rhythms, celestial melodies, and otherworldly vocals that will leave you breathless.

The Solar-Myth Approach / Vol. 2 is a masterclass in musical experimentation and a testament to Sun Ra's visionary genius. Whether you're a die-hard jazz aficionado or a casual listener looking to expand your sonic horizons, this album is guaranteed to captivate and inspire. So buckle up, dear reader, and prepare for a mind-bending trip through the outer reaches of the musical cosmos.
