Bleep

All time classic from the Ra and his arkestra. Described as one of the mythical jazz mavericks most accessible works, Space is the Place positively glows with the chaotic atmosphere of early 70s jazz cafes and bohemian reckless abandon. The wailing tones of ‘Images’ marks a high point on the album, but even listening to the pieces again after being familiar with them for years now still manages to take us back to some faraway land. If you aren’t already acquainted then you’re in for a treat. One for the cosmonauts!

California jazz label Impulse! continues their resurrection of the Verve By Request series (in partnership with Jack White’s Third Man Records) with this reissue of Sun Ra’s legendary 1973 LP Space Is The Place.
