The closest in competition to best album to "The Helio Centric Worlds Vol. 1" in Sun Ra's collection. Again, Sun Ra at his best. But, unlike Heliocentric Worlds the songs feel like they were done in somewhat the same span of time, rather than being snippets of different things here, and there. It's not as varied, but takes home the advantage of having more lengthy, subtle, sections. Entirely freely improvised, apparently composed through nothing more than Sun Ra's hand signals. Albeit, it doesn't make a definitive album like Heliocentric Worlds, I personally prefer it between the two. Absolute classic, and a true gem for any Sun Ra fans.
