Tracks list

The excellent Live at Montreux set from 1976 was released on vinyl by both
Saturn and Inner City before disappearing from print for many years. In 2003,
the set was reissued by both Universe/Akarma and P-Vine. A full 20-member
Arkestra (plus dancers) turns in a typically freewheeling set. From Take the A
Train (featuring a killer solo from Marshall Allen), to the gospel-influenced El
Is a Sound of Joy, to the almost exotica Lights on a Satellite, to the free and
raucous Gods of the Thunder Realm, and on to We Travel the Spaceways, the
Arkestra covers as much musical territory in this set as anyone would expect
from a live Sun Ra show. This is considered to be another classic in a vast
discography. [Completists take note: the Universe edition inexplicably fades out
the last four minutes of On Sound Infinity Spheres, which are present on the
P-Vine edition.]
