Sun Ra – Stray Voltage

Description

If you’re looking for melodies, structured compositions, pleasant harmonies, songs you can whistle, and serenades for social gatherings – seek elsewhere. This is Triple-A Ra: Audacious, Aggressive, Adventurous. In the collection we’ve titled Stray Voltage, Ra is not so much composing music as painting soundscapes with electronic keyboards. Ra doesn’t simply play these consoles – he attacks, cajoles, and pounds them. Stray Voltage compiles unissued electronic peregrinations during the 1970s and ’80s, pressed on frosted orange vinyl!
