CommentBoth Oblique Parallax and Horizon were albums released by Sun Ra but are no longer available in print, unless you want to pay $300 a copy for some vinyl on eBay. It's some major mind bending jazz, I hope people like it. I can't stress enough the impact that this recording has had on my ideas about music and art.

Oblique Parallax also is known to have the date of December 1980 when he was in residency at the Jazz Center.
