CD Reviews

Awaken to the Sounds of Spring
Mr. Richard D. Coreno | Berea, Ohio USA | 10/02/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

"With up to 28 musicians - including both acoustic and electric bass, electric guitarists and the signature reed and brass sections - Sun Ra is delving into groove-orientated performances in this 1979 release.



The title track is the centerpiece, with Sun Ra's introduction on electric piano and the band then setting a mystical foundation for the vocals, led by June Tyson. Springtime Again and Door of the Cosmos have a sublime beauty which transcends time and place.



As if the vestiges of winter has finally given way to spring, there is a freshness of outlook and vision in the music which makes the album a gem in the vast Sun Ra discography."
