Recently I've been digging through Sun Ra's vast discography (yet again). I'm not really sure if this is an official release. Could be a live bootleg or something but it certainly is a vinyl rip so sound quality isn't exactly clean and nice. In any case it's a recording of one of Arkestras live performance so you have his signature sound present. What I especially like is the fact that during this performance Sun Ra approached a lot of classics from jazz and also some soundtracks and gave them his magic intergalactic touch. So ever wondered how Over The Rainbow sounds in full space orchestra? Well that was the moment when I realized that I need to hear this album. He also sort of "reworks" the Gone With the Wind theme and dibbles a little with jazz standards. Overall this isn't exactly something mandatory from his vast career but it certainly is worth checking out if you are a fan of Sun Ra.

01. We Live To Be
02. Gone With The Wind
03. Make Another Mistake
