The complete album + 6 bonus tracks - limited edition pressing on 180g vinyl in a gatefold sleeve

This edition presents the complete Sun Ra album Fate in a Pleasant Mood (Saturn-202) featuring the brilliant Arkestra with John Gilmore and Marshall Allen, plus the leader on piano. It was one of the many albums recorded by Sun Ra for the Saturn label from the mid-ffties to the early sixties. Recorded in 1960, it fnds the Arkestra at the very end of their Chicago days. The tunes still have that '50s Arkestra sound (great horn arrangements), although there is an increasing use of dissonance and the arrangements are sparser, thanks to a dwindling Arkestra.

Features the bonus tracks: Space Loneliness / Somewhere In Space / The Blue Set / Enlightenment / Tapestry From An Asteroid / Hour Of Parting.

Tracks: The Others In Their World / Space Mates / Lights Of A Satellite / Space Loneliness / Somewhere In Space / The Blue Set / Distant Stars / Kingdom Of Thunder / Fate In A Pleasant Mood / Ankhnaton / Enlightenment / Tapestry From An Asteroid
