Description:

Introducing a musical treasure from the enigmatic Sun Ra's expansive discography, Strut Records proudly presents "Inside The Light World: Sun Ra Meets The OVCâ?. This extraorinary album unveils previously unreleased recordings from the year 1986 for the very first time, showcasing a unique chapter in the Sun Ra catalogue. Crafted by the forward-thinking technological innovator and rocket scientist, Bill Sebastian, during the mid-1970s, the Outer Space Visual Communicator (OVC) stood as a groundbreaking invention. Instead of producing traditional sound, this keyboard-triggered "instrument" harnessed the power of light, casting mesmerising kaleidoscopic, multicoloured patterns onto a screen suspended above performers on stage. Ra first performed with the idiosyncratic fractal light projector in the late â??70s and, in 1986, two grainy VHS tapes surfaced featuring Ra performing â??Calling Planet Earthâ?? and â??Sunset On The Nileâ??, both accompanied by the OVCâ??s radiant light painting. The end result is nothing short of a revelation, featuring exceptional performances by the Arkestra. This release unveils previously unheard renditions of Sun Ra classics such as 'Love In Outer Space,' 'El Is A Sound Of Joy,' and 'Calling Planet Earth.' Additionally, it offers a complete performance of 'Discipline 27-II,' making it a musical gem for fans and collectors alike. -

Introducing the inaugural release of "lost" sessions from 1986, where Sun Ra encountered the OVC. These remarkable recordings were, until now, confined to two tracks exclusively available on VHS videos. These recordings have undergone a meticulous process of full remastering, executed by Joe Lizzi and Peter Beckmann, directly from the original reel-to-reel tapes. Features remarkable, previously unheard versions of Ra classics 'Calling Planet Earth', 'Sunset On The Nile' and 'Theme From The Stargazers'. Featuring captivating images sourced from Sun Ra and Bill Sebastian's videos. Includes comprehensive sleeve notes and an in- depth interview with Bill Sebastian, providing valuable insights into this extraordinary moment in time.
