This twofer combines two early-1960s releases from the period when Sun Ra was just starting to get truly cosmic. Certainly he'd utilized celestial themes in his work before this, but on these albums, Sun Ra & his Arkestra actively pursue their idea of what outer space actually sounds like. Breaking with the more (relatively) traditional aspects of his earlier albums, Ra begins to focus on sound as an end in itself; Ra's right-hand man John Gilmore explores all the sonic possibilities of the saxophone, while Ra's organ whirls into otherworldly dimensions; the whole ensemble heads in a direction far more "out" than anything even the most forward-looking jazz artists were thinking of in the early '60s. COSMIC TONES and ART FORMS are avant-garde, downright psychedelic, and way ahead of their time.
Recorded in New York, New York between 1961 and 1963.
