"There are many sides to Sun Ra's genius, and the relentless explorer is one of his best. With the same minimalist rapture he found in such 60's classics as Heliocentric World, le Sonny continued his experiments into the early 70's, now augmenting the sound with his beloved mini-moog. The Solar Myth Approach gathers together some truely spooky, and beautiful, sounds that will liven up your dreams (maybe). If you're into some serious alchemy, this is what your looking for."

Moog For The Mood

"The vision of Sun Ra is placed within an experimental framework, as ambient music is shaped through the use of a Mini-Moog synthesizer in the pair of releases that were recorded in 1970-1971.



The Solar-Myth Arkestra capture the special textures through the oboe, flute and drums of James Jacson. The landscape has a wonderful symmetry of colors and Sun Ra brings a sonic harmony to some of his most challenging works within his vast discography.
