100 years after the landing on Earth. It is available for free via
a collection of unpublished works and rarities by Sun Ra on the occasion of the centenary of his birth. It was compiled by the Sun Ra Arkive blog, which presents it as follows: “Sun Ra is turning 100. It is time to celebrate! “Sun Ra Solo Works” is a special musical compilation featuring nearly 80 minutes of rare solo performances. The tracks have been carefully selected and mixed. Some of this music has only been heard by the ears of a few. The track listing is intentionally left off to keep the suspense of hearing this for the first time. The sounds contained are the very best, a blend of cosmic beauty. Put yourself in the right frame of mind, sit back and enjoy".
