Meanwhile, it makes the proceedings consistently rhythmic, admirable considering thereвЂ™s not a trap-kit in sight here. The band states the prominent themes of Sun RaвЂ™s songs like his classic вЂњSpace Is The PlaceвЂќ but leaves plenty of room to improvise around them. Sun Ra himself was no stranger to keyboards, using them very early on and throughout his career, and one imagines this commitment to keyboards as tools to execute his visions would make him smile. Even better, the BajasвЂ™ Daniel Quinlivan turns in charming vocoder-treated vocals on вЂњOuter Spaceways IncorporatedвЂќ and вЂњWe Travel The Spaceways,вЂќ giving this trek through the stars a captain. Then, guest Jayve Montgomery adds an Akai EWI-4000 as a solo voice on a few tunes, just to get some air-blown signal in there, and this serves as a natural shout-out to the ArkestraвЂ™s Marshall Allen, a master of the electronic wind instrument. This is a long look into Sun RaвЂ™s space, seen through the telescopic lens of 18 keyboards. Moving past the tactics of the approach taken, this is a broad and deep burst across Sun RaвЂ™s entire catalog, going as far back as the bandleaderвЂ™s 1957 debut, Jazz By Sun Ra, for вЂњA Call For All Demons,вЂќ and, moving forward, plucking gems from the early вЂ™60s (вЂњMoon Dance,вЂќ вЂњWe Travel The SpacewaysвЂќ), late вЂ™60s (вЂњOuter Spaceways IncorporatedвЂќ), early вЂ™70s (вЂњSpace Is The PlaceвЂќ), late вЂ™70s (вЂњLanquidityвЂќ) and all the way to 1990 for вЂњOpus In SpringtimeвЂќ from his final album, Mayan Temples.

The cassetteвЂ™s case lists a dizzying lineup of synthesizers from Casio, Crumar, Korg, Moog, Realistic, Roland, Sequential and Yamaha, as well as CrainвЂ™s trusty Ace Tone Top 8 organ. Not that thereвЂ™s much horn to be heard here, as the band interprets Sun Ra via another musical figure, noted synthesizer pioneer Wendy Carlos, she of Switched-On Bach fame, hence the title. The band is also no stranger to jazz, as Bajas member Rob Frye layers saxophone and flute over its meditative soundscapes. If released digitally and manufactured on cassette, this new project could come out within months, which Crain said felt in the spirit of Sun Ra - creation as a decisive, immediate action.Д«itchin Bajas is no stranger to a cassette release - in fact, in double-cassette format, Bajas Fresh had more songs on it than its vinyl counterpart. So Bitchin Bajas searched for something else to do, and Sun Ra rose into its sights. When Bitchin Bajas submitted its first album in four years, it was told it wouldnвЂ™t be pressed and out until June 2022. The bandвЂ™s last album, 2017вЂ™s Bajas Fresh, was mastered at half-speed for vinyl at Abbey Road Studios in London. But Switched On Ra came about because of an adjacent issue - the massive delays at besieged vinyl pressing plants.Д«itchin Bajas finished its new album back in May, and the Chicago-based trio, centered on multi-instrumentalist Cooper Crain, is particular about how it issues music. Many albums over the last year-and-a-half were born out of, and inspired by, the pandemic and the subsequent quarantine.
