The cover declared the album a \"21st Century Limited Edition.\" The compositions on Supersonic Jazz conveyed optimism and hope, bringing a message auguring the World of Tomorrow. Ra declared this the first dimension of a fresh art form, as he set about evolving a new American music - a composite of the past and future, the known coalescing with the unknown. The album, not very well received upon release, reveals a vibrant universe of sound, with highly developed arrangements and sophisticated musicianship, especially Ra's innovative keyboard work and John Gilmore's astonishing soloing. \r\n\r\nOfficial expanded 2xLP \/ 2xCD edition with fourteen tracks of alternate versions and studio takes, and the CD version contains an additional four CD only tracks. Liner notes by avid fan Ira Kaplan from Yo La Tengo, and additional essay from longtime Ra blogger Rodger Coleman (NUVOID Sun Ra Sundays). Vinyl includes a 12x12 insert reproduction of original jacket art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack List\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Sunology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Advice to Medics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Super Blonde\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Soft Talk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Sunology Part 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Kingdom of Not\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Portrait of the Living Sky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Blues at Midnight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e El Is the Sound of Joy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Springtime in Chicago\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Medicine for a Nightmare\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Journey to Discland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e October\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Somebody Else’s Idea (Take 1)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e New Horizons (Take 1)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e El Viktor (Take 1)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Adventure in Space\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Delilah\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Soft Talk (Take 1)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Medicine for a Nightmare (Alternate)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Saturn #2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Delight (Take 2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Space Aura (Take 2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e State Street (Alternate)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Stratosphere 3:01\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Velvet (Alternate)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Somebody Else’s Idea (Take 2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Super Blonde (Take 3)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Big City Blues (Live at Budland)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e UPC \u0026gt; 881626809129 \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Format \u0026gt; New CD \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Label \u0026gt; Cosmic Myth Records \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Release Date \u0026gt; Release Date: 9.26.25 \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShop online at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46644909867229,"sku":"881626809129","price":33.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/4448714-3429693.jpg?v=1754495740","url":"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/mi-nz\/products\/sun-ra-his-arkestra-supersonic-jazz","provider":"Darkside Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
