Atlantis by Sun Ra and his Astro Infinity Arkestra
I just purchased this album and I'm not sure what to make of it yet. The liner notes describe Sun Ra as "[Thelonious] Monk on acid lost in Africa" and I'd have to say that that's a fairly accurate description. Lots of African percussion, some weird organs, horns, Sun playing the "Solar Sound Organ" -- more avant-garde than the avant-garde. I can't tell if it's genius or absolutely horrible.
Anyone out there like/dislike Sun Ra?
Best,
ron
