Double 180gm vinyl LP pressing. Contains bonus tracks not found on the CD. Forever alterable, young again and freshly strengthened, the Sun Ra Arkestra under the direction of Marshall Allen presents itself on Live at the Babylon the 14-piece Centennial Dream Arkestra at Istanbuls Babylon music club. It is a landing to the spot on the hundredth birthday of its founder, Jack-of-all-trades Sun Ra, kicking off the jubilee tour 2014, which led the band around the globe. The ensemble sparks with a briskness that is testimony to the timelessness and infinity of the mission. The jubilee-concert at the Babylon is an illustration of to the enthusiasm of the brothers Mehmet and Ahmet Ulug. The tenacious Sun Ra fans indeed made it happen, to bring the Sun Ra Arkestra to Istanbul for the very first time on April 1990. These recordings stem from the never-ending rehearsals in Sun Ras headquarter, and their musical treasure has never before been unveiled in front of an audience, and also never before been recorded with decent quality. Being reconstructed from the original, compositions such as Ra #2 and Carefree #2 experience a splendid resurrection, be it in the live concert or on the recording Live at the Babylon. It is a sensation. It is Sun Ra rediscovered. Track List: Disc: 1 1. Astro Black 2. RA #2 3. Saturn 4. Discipline 27B 5. Stardust Disc: 2 1. Care Free #2 2. Sometimes Im Happy 3. Dancing Shadows 4.
