Atlantis is an album by American jazz musician Sun Ra and his Astro-Infinity Arkestra, released in 1969 by El Saturn Records.
The title track covered the second side of the LP and is regarded as a key prototype for Sun Ra's performances through the 1970s.
[5] It was recorded at a 1967 concert at the Olatunji Center of African Culture in New York [6] and has been described as "a masterpiece that twists and turns through many soundscapes".
While virtually indescribable, the sonic churnings and juxtaposed images reveal a brilliant display of textures and tonalities set against an ocean of occasional rhythms.
Its diversity alone makes this is an essential entry in the voluminous Sun Ra catalog.—Lindsay Planer [8]Side one was likely recorded at Sun Studios, New York (the Arkestra's commune) between 1967 and 1969;[1] The title track on side two, Atlantis was recorded at the Olatunji Cultural Center on 125th Street, NY, in 1967.
