Sun Ra is one of the most respected, and perhaps most misunderstood creative minds in jazz music. To commemorate what would have been Ra's 100th birthday, we've teamed up with Art Yard for a very special release. In The Orbit Of Ra is a new collection presented by the longest serving member of the Arkestra and current bandleader, Marshall Allen. Bringing together Sun Ra highights from over 25 years of music, the album is the first internationally released compilation to provide an introduction to the music of Sun Ra, all mastered from the original tapes. Vinyl edition features a full interview with Marshall Allen along with rare and previously unpublished photos by Val Wilmer.A1 -Sun Ra And His Myth Science Arkestra* Somewhere In Space 3:04 A2 -Sun Ra & His Solar-Myth Arkestra* The Lady With The Golden Stockings (The Golden Lady) 7:43 A3 -Sun Ra And His Astro Infinity Arkestra* Somebody Else's World 4:03 A4 -Sun Ra & His Solar-Myth Arkestra* Plutonian Nights 4:24 B1 -Sun Ra And His Myth Science Arkestra* Angels And Demons At Play 2:55 B2 -Sun Ra And His Arkestra* Island In The Sun (Extended Version) 10:22 B3 -Sun Ra And His Myth Science Arkestra* Rocket Number Nine Take Off For Planet Venus 6:22 C1 -Sun Ra And His Arkestra* Astro Black 10:51 C2 -Sun Ra And His Intergalactic Infinity Arkestra* Have You Heard The Latest News From Neptune 5:53 C3 -Sun Ra And His Myth Science Arkestra* We Travel The Spaceways 3:21 D1 -Sun Ra And His Solar Arkestra* Reflects Motion (Part 1) 3:23 D2 -Sun Ra And His Solar Arkestra* Reflects Motion (Part 2) 8:11 D3 -Sun Ra And His Arkestra* Ancient Aiethiopia 9:17
