A FIRESIDE CHAT WITH LUCIFER/VINYLE JAUNE

Description

A hip-hop saturated call & response club cut... from Sun Ra?! While the most famous track from this omniversal opus is the atomic, profanity-filled retort "Nuclear War," there is so much more in this dark and mysterious journey through Sun Ra's mind. The sprawling title track, akin to a 20-minute suite, maintains a lyrical quality despite an open framework and textures that encourage sounds to surface and emerge from the group as if there were no human intention behind them. In contrast to "Nuclear War," Ra's organ playing here is less built on grandiosity and sonic terror than on whispers, stutters, shivers, and swells. Fireside Chat offers a wide stylistic range, as was the artist's intention, reflecting his eclectic and seemingly irreconcilable approach to the extremes of composition. With Sun Ra, you get everything... except predictability. First reissue of this iconic album!
