The Lost Reel Collection continues -- with two great slices of rare Sun Ra work from the early 70s! The first half of the set features a 1971 performance in Berkeley -- one that begins with a wonderful extended improvisation by John Gilmore -- blowing beautifully in near-solo space, and coming across like some lost track on Impulse Records! That one's followed by a beautiful medley of "Strange Worlds/It's After The End Of The World/Outer Spaceways Incorporated/Why Go To The Moon" -- with prominent vocals from June Tyson, some very Eastern-styled horns from the rest of the group -- all giving way to yet another long improvised number. Part 2 of the CD features material from the following year, recorded in an unknown location -- very notable for a long moog solo by Ra at the beginning -- which then leads into a highly electronic take on "Outer Space", and the more acoustic "Intergalactic Research", plus an untitled track! Recording quality is great on all material -- and although the performances are "lost", they rank with some of the Arkestra's most compelling work of the period.
