![]() ![]() One thing is for sure, you will not hear any other album like this one. It is a 1967 live recording from the Olatunji Center of African Culture in New York. The songs end with the band merrily singing a closing theme. It goes on for some 15 minutes before the band enters with some ensemble playing which could have been beautiful if not Sun Ra had continued to play so strange sounding chords. Again, it has Sun Ra playing his electric keyboards, but now in a free style where he produces chaotic clusters which can remind of pianist Cecil Taylor´s intense improvisations.

The only featured member from his big horn section is tenor saxophonist John Gilmore. The first half of the album has Sun Ra playing some shorter songs on the clavinet with accompaniment by drummers.

He had used the electric piano allready some ten years ago and was clearly out after the strange sound effects electronic instruments could produce. Sun Ra plays what he calls the solar sound organ and the solar sound instrument, which are really a clavinet. On Atlantis he explores a fully psychedelic soundscape. Despite all his strangeness his music of the 1950s had been in the tradition of Duke Ellington and bebop. Atlantis is one of his most weird sounding albums. ![]() He was an underground artist long before the term was coined, and he had his own record label on which he released his own music.
