SUN RA And His ARKESTRA: “Horizon – Recorded Live in Egypt, 1971” (El Saturn Records – 121771) Original 1st pressing on Ra’s own Saturn label – this one is maybe a test pressing with hand written annotated labels. Rare LP documenting during Sun Ra & his Arkestra’s first Egyptian visit. Recorded in Cairo on December 17, 1971, this is one of the only discs to have been issued in very limited numbers. It opens with a bang when the Arkestra launch straight into "Starwatchers" with a choral chant and solo from John Gilmore before the entire Arkestra dive headlong into a languid and free-form high tension jam, creating an arresting experience. Ra’s atonal mini-Moog unleashes in return a deep subterranean schizophrenic high voltage reaction with his sharp staccato injections ravaging the soundscape overtop of the animated strive of the Arkestra. It is simply a lethal listening experience, which comes over as the whole band is engaged in trench warfare, hurtling in and out of focus. Other maniac group fury leaps into renditions of "Discipline 2" as well as "Discipline 8"and although it are Arkestra standards, Ra succeeds in making them again utterly unique. "Space Is the Place" starts out as almost a tribal chant before breaking down into an extended free jazz skronk embellishing a raggedy group dynamic of The Magic Band, all complete with raw breakdowns of huffing brass and droning psychedelic bleeps and once the group are firing on all cylinders it is just impossible to resist, mainlining free jazz, electric boogie, basement crank - allowing the combo to interact at their most melodic -- on this disc, anyway. And everything is blessed with that magic and cool cassette-recorded audio-verite feel.
