This hugely popular 1979 album features Sun Ra's most groovy and danceable space disco classic, "UFO"!
This masterpiece, El Saturn, was recorded in New York in May and October 1979, just before the release of his classic "Sleeping Beauty."
The large-scale ensemble, performed by the Solar Arkestra, is both profound and sublime.
The title track, M1, boasts a funky groove and a cosmic sense of floating amidst its graceful swing, while the 17-minute long track, M3 "Seductive Fantasy," is as captivating as its title suggests, with its leisurely, dreamlike beauty.
But the album's greatest highlight is undoubtedly the miraculous spiritual disco-funk number, M2 "UFO"!
This stunning groove! This overwhelming sense of exhilaration! This is undoubtedly Sun Ra's most dance-ready track, and a huge favorite among DJs, making this a must-have album worth listening to just for this one track alone.
This is also the first CD in Japan!
