Title:
Strange Strings
Label:
ATAVISTIC
Format:
CD
Price:
$15.00
Catalog #:
ALP 263CD
"A deluxe reissue in a new O-card pack from the Unheard Music Series -- released in conjunction with El Saturn Records. '...all this considered,
Strange Strings
, the culmination of all Sun Ra's string studies, is without doubt one of Sun Ra's master works.
Strange Strings
, standing squarely alongside Sun Ra's other epics of the mid-1960s,
Atlantis
and
Magic City
, absolutely shines as his most painterly of expositions in its surface richness and play with deep space and coloration. He has offered no world more strange than this in his entire output as a composer and orchestrator. These explorations are only hinted at in scattered moments on other recordings from this period. The full exercise of his very original and very imaginative powers as musical adventurer and visionary bursts forth in the masterful cosmic clattering of
Strange Strings

Title:
Pathways to Unknown Worlds/Friendly Love
Label:
EVIDENCE
Format:
CD
Price:
$14.00
Catalog #:
ECD 22218
"This package combines two LPs on one CD.
Pathways
was originally released on vinyl in the mid-70s at the very end of Sun Ra's relationship with Impulse and remained in print for less than one year. Evidence has remixed the original four track tapes and has added a track that was intended for the original album but omitted for technical reasons that have now been corrected. Like
Cymbals and Crystal Spears
,
Friendly Love
is an early 70s album that is being released for the first time. Sun Ra biographer John Szwed wrote the liner notes, and provides an in-depth glimpse into Sun Ra's recording and Evidence's mastering techniques."

Strange Strings
Label:
SATURN
Format:
LP
Price:
$11.00
Catalog #:
SATURN 502
Tracklisting: "Worlds Approaching," "Strange Strings" featuring vocals by Arthur Jenkins, "Strange Strings" featuring lightning drum. Recorded in New York, probably 1966. A very uncommon Sun Ra LP, originally issued on Thoth (a Saturn-subsidiary?) in '66 or '67. A concept album of sorts, dealing with musicians playing unfamiliar instruments ("Chinese lutes, moon-guitars, mandolin, bass, koto," according to Tam Fiofori). "It is a piece of astonishing variety...Sun Ra here succeeds in creating perhaps the most completely improvised but organic piece in the history of jazz, with no prepared rhythmic, melodic or harmonic material, performed by players on instruments foreign to them." -- John Szwed.
