Where this album fits

Career context
Released in 1976, this album came during Sun Ra's prolific period, following his acclaimed work 'Space Is the Place' (1973). By this time, he had already established himself as a pioneer of avant-garde jazz, and collaborations with notable musicians like Pharoah Sanders marked a further exploration into cosmic themes and free-form experimentation.
