Great early Ra, just after the band had moved to NYC & was just starting to expand upon their Chicago style (piano heavy & without vocals, pretty straight rhythm section, but still pretty much going for Ellington-on-acid). A rare Saturn, with an even rarer bonus cut that was slated to be released on a single but remained unissued until now. Gilmore plays with grace, Ronnie Boykins holds everything steady, & drummer C. Scoby Stroman sounds really excited! Tracklisting: Friendly Galaxy, Solar Differentials, Space Aura, Love in Outer Space, Reflects Motion, Solar Symbols, Flight to Mars.
