Sun Ra Hidden Fire

Hidden Fire captures one of the final cosmic journeys of jazz visionary Sun Ra, originally recorded in 1988 and now reissued as a remastered 2LP. The album showcases Ra on Yamaha DX7 synthesiser, accompanied by an unusual lineup including strings and space-vocals, creating a darker, more experimental sound than much of his earlier work. Tracks like “Retrospect – This World Is Not My Home” and “Hidden Fire Blues” span from almost meditative passages to intense improvisation, highlighting Ra’s late-period exploration of tone, texture, and orchestration.

This vinyl edition features restored artwork, full liner notes, and archival photographs, making it an essential release for collectors and adventurous jazz listeners alike. Hidden Fire stands as a powerful statement of Sun Ra’s enduring creativity and his ability to push the boundaries of jazz into uncharted territory.
