What Planet Is This? (180 gram pressing)

LP (Item 503121) Vinyl Lovers/Lilith (Italy), 1973 — Condition: New Copy

The early 70s Arkestra at the height of their power – recorded in a brilliant live set from 1973, one that showcases the bold soul of the Impulse years! There's a resonance here with other spiritual jazz experiments going on in the US at the time – and Ra and the 25 members strong group seem firmly committed to exploring new freedoms in jazz, yet still work with messages that can reach out to a larger group – themes explored vocally on versions of "Astro Black", "Enlightenment", and "Space Is The Place", juxtaposed by longer instrumental passages that have a cohesiveness that's sometimes missing from other live sets. Other titles the 2LP version include "What Planet Is This? Opening Improvisation", "Love In Outer Space", "The Shadow World", "Watusa/Egyptian March", and "Discipline 27" and "What Planet Is This? Closing Improvisation". (180 gram vinyl. Please note: the 2LP version features alternate artwork and differently titled improvisational pieces than the 2CD version from Golden Years UK, and a bit less running time overall.)  © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.
