Product Notes

2009 reissue containing bonus tracks. Horizon (also known as Starwatchers and Sun Ra in Egypt Vol.2) contains a big chunk of the now legendary Balloon Theatre concert (it burned down soon after their visit, as did the hotel in which the Arkestra stayed while they were in Cairo). The Balloon extract is an uncut block and features a lot of Sun Ra's all-hell-let-loose Moog soloing, as well as a great version of 'Discipline 2'. The rest of Horizon is from the Heliopolis concert, kicking off with an instrumental version of 'Enlightment' and 'Love in Outer Space', segueing slowly into 'Space Is the Place' followed by drum orchestra, more Ra soloing on Moog, Tiger Organ and detuned piano leading to a first lurching, then wild, 'Discipline 8'. Two bonus tracks, for the first time restored from the original concert, follow: 'We'll Wait for You' (with June Tyson) and 'The Satellites Are Spinning', which ends in full-on percussion. Wow! Artyard.
