1.Greatest Hits: Easy Listening for Intergalactic Travel by: Sun Ra October 09, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £15.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £9.98 You Save: £6.01 (38%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £7.65
This 78-minute CD is an ideal entry-point into Sun Ra's astonishing and expansive catalogue numbering around 200 albums. There are 18 tracks arranged in chronological order and drawn from Sun Ra's Saturn label with the exception of 'We Will Wait For You' recorded for the film 'Space Is The Place'. It's fascinating to hear how Sun Ra's music evolved over the period 1956-73. Sun Ra's 'Greatest Hits'(which probably reached the charts only on Saturn!) should suffice for anyone who wants just one CD of this remarkable composer and bandleader in their collection, but it's also a perfect launching pad for those who want to explore further.

a surprisingly accessible & well-produced set, from a disciplined & swinging outfit. very effective deployment of baritone sax, thoughtful & enjoyable arrangements & good melodies should appeal to listeners well outside the reach of sun ra's usual "far out" reputation. a richly textured and rewarding treat. try it!

It's great that reviewer "beenykleesox" likes Ra's album, although he must be mistaken about seeing Sun Ra himself in 2001. Sun Ra "went back to Saturn" (died) in 1993! Maybe it was the band under the direction of Marshall Allen . . . .?

Imagine if you will two bands playing at once - one improvising freely and noisily, the other playing hard-hitting jazz-rock-funk riffs in a selection of interesting tempi - with an overlay of plush brass arrangements. The Test Card scored by Albert Ayler? Not quite. But Metropolis remains an extraordinary work, even by Westbrook's own standards. His biggest ensemble assembled outside of Marching Song (23 musicians in all, including a double rhythm section, electric and acoustic) works to create an astonishing melee of impressionistic urban onomatopoeia which can sometimes ("Part I") come across like a noisy neighbour hi-fi battle (no bad thing in this instance), at other times a delicate tracery of pointillistic free interaction (the immaculate Norma ...
