      In this album Sun Ra blends elements of free jazz, off-key synth explorations, and experimental theatre into an other-worldly concoction that doesn’t crop up anywhere else in the Arkestra’s massive discography.

      Although Sun Ra wouldn’t have called Earth home, there were a couple of cities that proved to have considerable significance on him and his music, and Philadelphia was one of the places that he really felt in his element. The vitality you can hear on Antique Blacks is a testament to the unique energy of the community around The Foxhole Cafe in Philly.
