Description

Originally released on Sun Ra’s Saturn label in 1979, On Jupiter captures the Arkestra in full galactic funk mode, blending deep grooves, hypnotic horns, and astral synths into one of their most infectious records. Recorded during a prolific period at Variety Arts Studios in New York, the album features the all-time Arkestra favourite “UFO”, the heady and soulful title track, and the sprawling 17-minute closer “Seductive Fantasy”. With contributions from Arkestra mainstays John Gilmore, Marshall Allen, Michael Ray, and many more, this album showcases the ensemble’s ability to navigate between improvisation and danceable rhythm. This definitive reissue from Strut remasters the original tapes and recreates the unique artwork design, making it essential listening for longtime fans and new explorers alike.

For fans of: Alice Coltrane, Herbie Hancock, Funkadelic, Pharaoh Sanders, Archie Shepp
