about

Of all the labels that have attached to the work of Sun Ra over the years – Afrofuturism, experimental music, avant-garde, neo-swing – the one that makes most sense is “space music”. It’s also the one that most often misleads. It isn’t all about flying saucers and alien civilisations, but it is about space, which is the dimension in which music functions. Has any composer/arranger ever used it more effectively? Listen again to Heliocentric Worlds ... but without dwelling on the scientistic or sci-fi title, and you’ll hear – and see – what I mean ... (Brian Morton)

Stir Crazy Episodes 1-15

supported by 7 fans who also own “Sun Ra - Heliocentric Worlds 1&2 revisited”

the artists seem to downplay their achievement as something they just tossed together in the living room during pandemic lock down. Yet, it is a highly original take on the classic drums/sax duo. A huge range of musical ground is covered, and emotional content. A great album in any context, I listen to it often. bob3

This band is quick, eccentric, and surprising; and keep everything in the air with a beautiful suppleness and flow. A great record from all time greats. Adusam
