Music reviews of Space Is the PlaceMusic Review: There's no limit...
This is probably the best place for neophytes to Sun Ra to start. It contains music that is both reasonably "in" and completely "out," and the extraterrestrial "Space is the Place" is both dissonant and catchy simultaneously. The band is inspired and inspiring, with "Images" and "Discipline" sounding something like Duke Ellington if Duke had been from Alpha Centauri. "Sea of Sounds" is a sound sculpture that can't exactly be described; it must really be experienced. "Rocket Number 9" is an oddity that closes off the album in a not-so-serious way, dropping you back down to earth after the extended space excursions of the other tracks. This is music that is absolutely great to listen to with your eyes closed; it invites your imagination to conjure up all kinds of imagery. In spite of the fact that this is very much oriented towards free jazz, there is a great deal of structure here; it's just not obvious structure. Even more importantly, there is a warmth and a communal joviality in this music that is missing from a lot of free and avant-garde jazz, a sense of play and amusement that makes "Space Is The Place" a lot more accessible than most free/avant jazz allows itself to be. Highly recommended for either the advanced space traveller or those still contemplating boarding Rocket #9.
