Ra to the Rescue

is a live set recorded at the in New York in 1982. It's quite well recorded, although some of the tracks are faded or edited somewhat abruptly. is an insane solo synthesizer workout that has in full sci-fi mode. He does things with a synthesizer that you never would have thought possible. For Chapter 2, it's 's turn, doing things you never thought possible with an alto saxophone. Then the album shifts gears into a very nice arrangement of that leaves out the lyrics, but has nice "la-la-la" vocals and hand claps. The second side of the album heads in a direction. is a very swinging basic , with just bass and drum accompaniment. starts with a bluesy piano intro, then and singing. switches to synth, then takes the vocal lead while continue in the background. "They Plan to put the White House on the moon, soon! and the Kremlin on a satellite!" This is another great vocal track. closes the set with a fantastic - stomper. may be tough to find, but it's well-worth seeking out for fans. ~ Sean Westergaard
