There were horn charts but most tracks came out of improvised jams. Sun Ra just did his thing.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eComprising five effortlessly fluid pieces, the album eases in with Lanquidity. Danny Ray Thompson remembers, “This was one of Sun Ra's on-the-spot compositions. It is almost like an Ancient Egyptian Stargazing Ceremony, mapping out the stars and the planets.” Where Pathways Meet is “Sun Ra's funky version of an Egyptian march. Pharaoh is sending his troops off to fight and this is his pep-talk!” continues Thompson. “The music seems to take different pathways but still converges.” The loping groove of That's How I Feel, features the reflective trumpet lines of Eddie Gale with solos by John Gilmore and Marshall Allen: “Marshall comes in with that snake charming oboe.” Says Thompson. The funky Twin Stars Of Thence weaves around Richard Williams celebrated elastic bassline while the haunting closer, There Are Other Worlds (They Have Not Told You Of), is pure “space music.” The poet Mama Nzinga described it as 'The essence of light. Spirit takes a ride inside the deep dark space of just being.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe new box set edition of 'Lanquidity' features the widely distributed version of the album alongside alternative mixes by Bob Blank originally released in limited quantities for a 1978 Arkestra gig at Georgia Tech. Both versions of the album are cut loud at 45 rpm over 2LPs each.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHoused in a silver foil box, both LP sets reflect the original Phlly Jazz artwork. The first comes in a foil \/ magenta sleeve while the second features 2 x yellow A4 sheets pasted onto a white sleeve. Also included is a 12-page over-sized booklet featuring unseen photos by Veryl Oakland and liner notes by Tom Buchler (Philly Jazz), Michael Ray and Danny Ray Thompson (Sun Ra Arkestra) and Bob Blank. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr\u003e4LP\u003cbr\u003eA1.
