space is certainly the place for sun ra's exploratory, incandescent and erratic music. i'm still fairly unversed with his large and varied discography, but i have a current fondness with "night of the purple moon."
discarding the fact that sun ra claimed to belong to the angel race, the music is - on its own account - unpredictable and beautifully strange. even if you have absolutely no affection or tolerance for jazz music as a whole, sun ra communicates something singular, engrossing. the atmosphere on "purple moon" is like walking around a zoo filled with foreign creatures and undiscovered species encased in glass bars staring unevenly as you pass -- pure curiosity. it also seems to have a uniquely colored sound, something like daguerreotype. anyhow, hope you enjoy.
