Crystal Spears [LP] [ VINYL LP ]

Sun Ra - Crystal Spears [LP]

Vinyl LP pressing, Recorded in '73 and rejected by tin-eared major label execs in '75, Crystal Spears (or "Crystal Clear" as it appears on the tape box) subsumes a cathartic brawl between Minimoog and Yamaha combo organ, with percussionists providing tonal textures, and plaintive oboe colliding with roaring electronic keyboards over waves of rollicking marimba, devilishly chattering below the fray. Crystal Spears is Sun Ra's once lost aural cinematheque! Includes a quad-ra-color Sun Ra poster!
