Black Sun
:Album Description:The 2008 release by Ra is the album, Black Sun, featuring the single 'Broken hearted soul'.There are not a lot of rock bands in the world like Ra.

Lanquidity
: :This 1978 session, coming relatively late in Sun Ra's creative history, is another extraordinary venture into uncharted musical terrain. As the name suggests, it's a liquid and languid musical state, from the lounge area of Ra's cosmos, but it can also be resiliently funky and subtly dissonant in ways unheard outside the orchestra's precincts.

:Album Description:Japanese version featuring a bonus track. :After playing henchman on Jeru the Damaja's first two albums, Afu-Ra steps into the solo spotlight with this solid effort.

Despite the presence of other ...

Heliocentric Worlds, Vols. 1-2
:Album Description:'...Considered to be among Sun Ra's most groundbreaking [albums]...the compositions that comprise Heliocentric Worlds are examples of the free or anti-structure jazz that became synonymous with a majority of Sun Ra's extensive cannon - boasting well over 100 titles. One unifying factor is the percussive nature of not only this particular band, but also on the seemingly unduplicable compositions that Ra and company were exploring in the mid-`60s...one of Sun Ra's best recordings.' - ALL MUSIC GUIDE 1965 was an important year in the shaping of the definitive music formula for the ...
