About

“A bona fide Sun Ra classic, 'Discipline 27-11' was recorded by Impulse! producer Ed Michel in October 1972 at Streeterville Studios in Chicago and involved the largest Arkestra line-up Sun Ra had ever taken into a studio session. The recordings spawned two albums, the celebrated 'Space Is The Place' and 'Discipline 27-11' which would remain its rather mysterious occult twin. This official reissue was remastered from original tapes and was released for Record Store Day 2017.” – Bandcamp

“Discipline 27-II, a companion album to the better known Space Is the Place and culled from the same 1972 sessions. It’s inviting to imagine an unearthly pedagogical tome, bound in some elaborate non-terrestrial fabric, containing the score to the title piece and its earlier numerical brethren. Ra’s predilection for stringency and orderliness came in handy, particularly when commanding the larger variations of his ensemble like the eighteen-piece group employed here.”– Dusted Magazine
