Album Description
Dive into the cosmic jazz universe with Sun Ra's definitive edition of "Lanquidity," a reissue of his 1978 classic that seamlessly blends free jazz, avant-garde, and hard bop elements. This expanded release offers a rich, immersive experience with both remastered and alternate mix versions of the original five tracks, spanning over an hour and thirty minutes of otherworldly soundscapes.

About Sun Ra
Sun Ra, born Herman Poole Blount, was a visionary jazz composer, bandleader, and pianist renowned for his experimental music and cosmic philosophy. Claiming to be an alien from Saturn, Sun Ra's performances were as much about the spectacle as the music, incorporating exotic instruments, ancient Egyptian costumes, and a futuristic aesthetic. He led The Arkestra, a dynamic ensemble known for its free jazz explorations and theatrical stage presence. Sun Ra's prolific career spanned over three decades, during which he composed nearly 500 pieces and released over 125 albums. His influence extends beyond music, touching on Afrofuturism and electronic music, making him a pioneer in multiple genres. Sun Ra's legacy continues to inspire, with ongoing releases of archival material and celebrations of his unique contributions to music and culture.
