dnt know if anyone mentioned it, but there's JOHN CAGE MEETS SUN RA which you can actually download on thewire.co.uk website.

thanks for all the info. Yeah I'm mostly interested in his keyboard heavy stuff. And his abstract jazz. I've heard his regular sounding stuff like Jazz in Silhouette, Futuristic Sounds and such. But yeah I'm mainly more interested in abstraction and keyboards. Thanks for the reccomendations

The Solar Myth Approach vol1 and 2 are probably the most out there of the Sun Ra records I've heard. Atlantis, as has been mentioned, is one of his best I think. And My Brother The Wind Vol2 (I think) is pretty keyboard/synth heavy and pretty wild.

His arkestra are playing Toronto on Oct 21...

If any loco locals are interested in going PM me...
