about
Originally released on Sun Ra’s Saturn label, On Jupiter is a masterclass in cosmic jazz-funk. The album features the irresistibly funky “UFO”—recorded before the Sleeping Beauty sessions—alongside the hypnotic, groove-laden title track and the expansive "Seductive Fantasy", a mesmerizing journey through space and sound. By the late 1970s, Sun Ra was embracing an even broader musical spectrum, incorporating soul, funk, and electronic fusion into the Arkestra’s evolving repertoire. As disco, punk, and hip-hop reshaped the cultural landscape, his “sub-underground” approach connected with a new wave of listeners. On Jupiter exemplifies this era—where deep basslines, swirling horns, spaced-out synthesizers, and Afro-futuristic chants collide to create a truly singular sound.
Now remastered by Technology Works, Strut proudly reissues On Jupiter on vinyl LP, featuring a replica of its original hand-assembled sleeve (selected from the many unique 1979 editions) and newly commissioned liner notes from Arkestra member Knoël Scott and Sun Ra expert Paul Griffiths.

Promises
by Floating Points, Pharoah Sanders & The London Symphony Orchestrasupported by 29 fans who also own “On Jupiter”
Even at 80 years old, Pharoah Sanders played his tenor sax with the conviction of a gospel preacher. Every second of this album is arrestingly beautiful. As far as I'm concerned, this is essential listening regarding all genres of music.
