Some words on this issue: SUN RA & HIS ARKESTRA: “Disco 3000” (El Saturn - ?) Original 1978 1stpress issue on Ra’s own Saturn imprint. 2nd press has totally different jacket. The main instrument, at least on the twenty-six minute title track, is a prototype made by Crumar called the 'Crumar Mainman' which Sun Ra described as 'like a piano, organ, clavichord, cello, violin and brass instruments', quite a stunning piece of gear then. The most interesting thing is the way Ra uses pre-programmed percussion, underpinning the track and allowing him to make in-roads into the murky world of electronic music, with one foot in disco, one foot in free jazz and two hands stretched out into space. Elsewhere we drop into safer territory (just) with Sun Ra allowing his fellow players John Gilmore, Luqman Ali, Michael Ray and June Tyson a chance to shine, but this is peculiar music from start to finish and I wouldn't have it any other way. Amazing and transcendent music.
