{"product_id":"luna-surface","title":"Luna Surface","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginally released in 1969, this explosive, large-scale work by Silva’s Celestial Communication Orchestra remains a towering achievement in free jazz and avant-garde composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn in Bermuda and raised in Harlem, Alan Silva was a key figure in the New York avant-garde scene, performing with visionaries such as Albert Ayler, Sun Ra, and Cecil Taylor.\u003cbr\u003eWith Luna Surface, he reached new creative heights, leading a transatlantic ensemble of American and European improvisers. Together, these musicians create a sound that is richly layered — uproarious, torrid, and intensely moving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComprising two lengthy pieces, From the Luna Surface (Parts 1 \u0026amp; 2), the album unfolds like a constantly shifting landscape of sound, full of the boundless originality one would expect from such a talented group under Silva’s skilled direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRooted in the legacy of Charles Mingus yet boldly forward- looking, Silva’s music reflects not just the unrest of the late '60s, but a yearning for unity, transcendence, and deeper cosmic understanding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLuna Surface was — and remains — a radical proposition: music not just to entertain, but to transform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis deluxe reissue offers a timely rediscovery of a work that still feels futuristic — a sonic reminder that the search for new worlds, whether musical or metaphysical, remains as urgent as ever.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Charly","offers":[{"title":"LP - Black","offer_id":53448004862283,"sku":"R2218-8245","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":53448004895051,"sku":"R2218-8954","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/5060767443163.jpg?v=1758545637","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/luna-surface","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
