Volume 1 features the first half of Sun Ra and his Arkestra's live performance at the Fondation Maeght in France in 1970. Opening with "Enlightment", sung by Sun Ra and June Tyson, and followed by "The Star Gazers", a keyboard piece that introduces "Shadow World", characterized by Marshall Allen's chilling sax solo. However, the apex is reached by "The Cosmic Explorer", a 20 min "multiple keyboards freakout". These inimitable moments captured on this recording, confirm the greatness of this ensemble.
