These two volumes are a grab-bag of tracks from various undocumented US sessions in the 60s, while some possibly date to the late 50s. A kind of sonic odyssey which has no end of twists and turns, as befits a group of such singular character.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThis second installment picks up where its predecessor left off but also has several interesting new focal points. While the echoes of Ellington are clear throughout the session there are compelling passages of Afro-centric polyrhythmic invention as the spotlight falls on drummers and percussionists Clifford Jarvis, Lex Humphries and Nimrod Hunt. But it is vocalist June Tyson, perhaps one of the most overlooked of Ra’s accompanists, who takes a star turn on the mesmerising ‘Strange Worlds’.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eRestored and remastered from the original tapes, so all the fine details of the orchestrations can be fully appreciated, this new version of ‘The Solar Myth Approach Vol 2’ is a highlight in Sun Ra’s sprawling discography, and an essential companion piece to ‘The Solar Myth Approach Vol 1’.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BYG Records","offers":[{"title":"1LP \"White\" Colored Edition","offer_id":46086903889964,"sku":"529.341","price":906.0,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0388\/0461\/9308\/files\/sun-ra-and-his-solar-myth-arkestra-the-solar-myth-approach-vol-2.jpg?v=1788608747","url":"https:\/\/whitenoiserecords.org\/en-tw\/products\/sun-ra-and-his-solar-myth-arkestra-the-solar-myth-approach-vol-2","provider":"WHITE NOISE RECORDS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
