about

Sun Ra recorded for Black Saint during the last five years of his long career, but the music that emerged from those sessions sounds remarkably fresh. Part of the repertoire resumes the dialogue – that was never fully interrupted - with the language and repertoire of the big bands of the swing era, but there is no lack of "ethereal", hypnotic, and enthralling themes, such as "Love On A Far Away Planet", with its inexorable, rolling bass ostinato, using synths to create alien sounds and then weaving a sort of otherworldly serenade with the flute and the other wind instruments.
"Mayan Temples", from the album of the same name, the last recorded in the studio in 1990, a year full of concerts and traveling that sees Sun Ra's health suffer, is then a spectacular summary - finally recorded as it deserved - of the imaginative polychromy of the Arkestra, between splendid solos, soft exotica temptations and an expressive richness that is still able to amaze.
