sun ra - space is the place(1lp/180g/gf)

An avant-garde jazz masterpiece, Space Is the Place is Sun Ra’s cosmic manifesto—both musically and philosophically. Blending free jazz, experimental noise, funk, and Afrofuturist ideology, this 1973 album is a transportive experience. Its sprawling title track alone is an odyssey, channeling Sun Ra’s vision of Black liberation through space-age sounds and collective improvisation.

Featuring the full Arkestra, the album is both chaotic and transcendent, challenging traditional jazz norms while offering spiritual elevation. This record isn’t just music—it’s a world-building exercise, a utopian vision, and a genre-defying statement that remains essential listening for fans of boundary-pushing sound.
