Sun Ra featuring Pharaoh Sanders & Black Harold
1976

This is the album I was looking for last week, on Pharaoh Sanders' birfday. It's cacophonic colloquy! Ha. It was also recorded in 1964 but wasn't released until '76. I mean, how many artists can wait 12 years between production and release dates and still be all avant-*awesome*? ...Crazy amazing.
