The weekend of January 29 - 31, 1988 - The Arkestra's three night stand at The Knitting Factory, NYC, produced some amazing music. Saturn's Hidden Fire 1 & 2 are from these dates as is the 2nd half of this Leo Records release. This same track (which took up one side of Hidden Fire 2) resurfaced on a tape sold to Leo Records; there the title was given as "My Brothers the Wind and Sun #9," and the provenance was incorrectly given as a concert in Europe in 1990. Leo reissued this track in May 1995 as part of the reorganized CD LR 149, A Night in East Berlin.

Duxiland, a kind and generous Adventure-Equation reader shared with us a link to his mp3 320k copy of a recording from 01/31/88. The file includes a short excerpt of Sun Ra's lecture and some "untitled" music that will send shivers. Amazing performances, to be sure. Chris Trent mentions in the CD notes above that additional material was recorded this weekend and may someday see the light of day. We can only hope, eh?
