"Lanquidity" is a studio album by American jazz musician Sun Ra, recorded July 17, 1978 at Blank Tapes Studios, New York City, and originally released in 1978 by Philly Jazz (with a shiny silver cover)
This clone-cover copy was reissued on the Philly Jazz Label, the date is unknown
It is quite different from his earlier recordings, drawing heavily on funk, R&B and jazz fusion. "Lanquidity" is also unusual in featuring two guitarists, which were seldom used in the Arkestra. The funk influence is also considerable, especially on "That's How I Feel". That track also contains a prominent tenor sax solo by John Gilmore, Sun Ra's sideman from the 1950s until Sun Ra's death in 1993.
"Where Pathways Meet", "That's How I Feel", and "Twin Stars of Thence" are played in a jazz fusion style
Spin magazine called "Lanquidity": "a beautiful place to enter Ra's psych-jazz omniverse", while Alternative Press wrote that it is "impossibly funky": "Often compared to Miles Davis' heaviest jazz-rock-funk fusion, " "Lanquidity" is dense, rhythmic and curiously hypnotic". Music journalist Robert Christgau is a fan of the album
