Sun Ra is automatically of interest round here…but THIS takes the cake. This vinyl LP re-issue of Space Is The Place is the soundtrack to the film of the same name starring Sun Ra in all his controversial, afro-futurist glory. There’s little that can be said to prepare you for this film or the album. You’re either along for the ride or you’re left standing on the sidelines hopelessly trying to figure out WTF is going on.

From the opening cries about the end of the world, “Don’t you know that yet?!” to the free jazz freakouts that make Space Is The Place the mad, utterly unique sonic Jackson Pollock masterpiece that it is, you absolutely positively can NOT live without hearing this album OR seeing the film. In the words of the late, great Sun Ra, “Teleport the whole planet here…through music.”

This already sought-after vinyl LP edition of Space Is The Place is a glorious double album gatefold LP pressed on 180-gram vinyl. This will NOT be around long if rumors are any indication. Grab your copy of Space Is The Place while you can…this is one of the finest vinyl releases of 2010 so far.
