Sun Ra and his Astro Infinity Arkestra : Atlantis

Recorded in 1969, Atlantis is a bold and highly atmospheric Sun Ra album that moves away from traditional swing into a more experimental sound.

The centerpiece is the 20-minute title track on side B, built around Sun Ra’s heavily amplified Hohner Clavinet. Around this, the Arkestra layers percussion, horns, and collective improvisation to create a dense, hypnotic texture.

Atlantis stands as a key example of Sun Ra’s Afrofuturist vision, presenting jazz as cosmic storytelling and pushing the genre toward electronic experimentation and abstract sound design long before these approaches became common.
