Some words on this issue: SUN RA And His OUTER SPACE ARKESTRA: “Celestial Love” (Saturn – C-1984-SG-9) Original Saturn press issue from 1984 and one of the last issues to see the light of day on the Saturn label. The contents are from the same recording sessions that also produced "A Fireside Chat with Lucifer" and "Nuclear War." The mood is fairly mellow throughout. The title tune is at a medium tempo, with mostly mellow solos. Ra is on organ on it. "Sometimes I'm Happy" features a bop workout on tenor sax. "Interstellarism (Interstellar Low Ways)" is at a very languid tempo. "Blue Intensity" is a blues workout, with Ra on organ. "Sophisticated Lady" starts at a very mellow and cool mood, at a fairly balladic tempo, but, halfway in, kicks into a swinging tempo, with great horn section arranging and solos. "Nameless One #2" maintains the same swinging tempo and arranging. "Nameless One #3" continues in the same vein, but is a more extended harmony blues. "Smile" is taken at a medium slow tempo, highlighting June Tyson's vocals, which are also featured on "Sometimes I'm Happy. All in all, this is a nice introduction to the mellower side of Sun Ra, although the solos are quite out, as is frequently the case with the Arkestra. This has not been reissued on CD. The line-up consists of Ra-p, keyb, org; Walter Miller-tp; Tyrone Hill-tb; Vincent Chancey-frh; Marshall Allen-as, fl; John Gilmore-ts; Danny Ray Thompson-bs, fl; James Jacson-bsn, perc; poss. Hayes Burnett or John Ore-b; prob. Eric Walker-d; Atakatune (Stanley Morgan)-conga; June Tyson-voc on Smile and Sometimes I'm Happy. Variety Recording Studios, New York, 9/82. These are the last known studio sessions on Saturn.
