Sun Ra has a huge discography and while this is great it is also very bad at the same time for those who wish to start listening to Sun Ra. Lanquidity is one of those albums I would certainly recommend to a casual jazz listener to check out if he never heard of Sun Ra and I would also recommend it to those who heard his other works as well. So why is this album exceptional? I love Sun Ra and all that but there are some albums that just drift too much in the noise sphere or sometimes are just plain swinging jazz we heard in the 40s and 50s. Sometimes on albums there are few calm songs and a 20 minute experimentation which can ruin the mood. Lanquidity on the other hand has that perfect balance. It's not exactly straight forward jazz experimentation yet it's not total random bollocks he sometimes did. It has that special things of his I can't really explain exactly.
Tracklist:
| Lanquidity | 8:19 | |
| Where Pathways Meet | 6:30 | |
| That's How I Feel | 8:09 | |
| Twin Stars Of Thence | 9:30 | |
| There Are Other Worlds (They Have Not Told You Of) | 10:58 |
