The late seventies were a very fertile period for Sun Ra and his Arkestra and this is one of many overlooked gems, released on Ra's own El Saturn imprint in 1979. A rare trio outing (backed by Richard Williams on the bass and Luqman Ali on drums), the captivating and instantly intoxicating mastery Sun Ra possessed at the piano becomes apparent even in absence of a larger group. The poetry in the title is indicative of the other worldly beauty truly on display here.
