《在木星上》是深沉放克、星际爵士和先锋音景的宇宙融合之作，是太阳·拉最具标志性的作品之一。该专辑于1979年在纽约Variety Arts录音室的高产时期录制，捕捉到Arkestra乐队在创作力巅峰时的状态，将未来主义的即兴演奏与富有感染力的节奏和超凡脱俗的质感相结合。太阳·拉在Variety Arts录音室的录音（1978-1982年）颇具传奇色彩——他每周在那里录音两到三次，通常是在深夜音乐会之后，上午10点将乐手们召集到西46街，进行持续到凌晨的马拉松式录音。这些录音的核心团队包括约翰·吉尔摩、马歇尔·艾伦、丹尼·汤普森、迈克尔·雷、泰隆·希尔、克雷格·哈里斯、卢克曼·阿里和萨马赖·塞莱斯蒂尔，以及轮换的参与者，包括吉他手斯基特·麦克法兰和泰勒·理查森，还有贝斯手维克多·斯普罗斯和年轻的诺埃尔·斯科特（负责萨克斯风和人声）。
《在木星上》最初由太阳·拉的Saturn厂牌发行，是宇宙爵士放克的典范。该专辑收录了极具感染力的放克作品《不明飞行物》——在《睡美人》录音之前录制——以及催眠且充满律动的同名曲目和广阔的《诱人幻想》，后者是一场穿越空间与声音的迷人旅程。到20世纪70年代末，太阳·拉开始拥抱更广泛的音乐领域，将灵魂乐、放克和电子融合融入Arkestra乐队不断发展的曲目库中。随着迪斯科、朋克和嘻哈重塑文化格局，他的“亚地下”风格与新一代听众产生了共鸣。《在木星上》正是这个时代的典范——深沉的贝斯线、旋转的号角、空灵的合成器和非洲未来主义的吟唱碰撞在一起，创造出真正独特的声音。
现在由Technology Works重新混音，Strut自豪地以黑胶LP形式重新发行《在木星上》，其特色是复制了原始手工组装的 sleeve（从1979年众多独特版本中挑选），并配有Arkestra乐队成员诺埃尔·斯科特和太阳·拉专家保罗·格里菲斯新创作的 liner notes。

A cosmic fusion of deep funk, interstellar jazz, and avant-garde soundscapes, On Jupiter stands as one of Sun Ra’s most iconic releases. Recorded in 1979 during a prolific period at Variety Arts Studios in New York, this album captures the Arkestra at the height of their creative powers, blending futuristic improvisation with infectious rhythms and otherworldly textures. Sun Ra’s Variety Arts Studios sessions (1978-1982) were legendary—he recorded there two to three times a week, often after a late-night concert, gathering his musicians on West 46th Street at 10 a.m. for marathon sessions that stretched into the early morning. These recordings featured a core group of John Gilmore, Marshall Allen, Danny Thompson, Michael Ray, Tyrone Hill, Craig Harris, Luqman Ali, and Samarai Celestial, alongside rotating contributors, including guitarists Skeeter McFarland and Taylor Richardson, as well as bassist Victor Sproles and a young Knoël Scott on saxophone and vocals.
Originally released on Sun Ra’s Saturn label, On Jupiter is a masterclass in cosmic jazz-funk. The album features the irresistibly funky “UFO”—recorded before the Sleeping Beauty sessions—alongside the hypnotic, groove-laden title track and the expansive "Seductive Fantasy", a mesmerizing journey through space and sound. By the late 1970s, Sun Ra was embracing an even broader musical spectrum, incorporating soul, funk, and electronic fusion into the Arkestra’s evolving repertoire. As disco, punk, and hip-hop reshaped the cultural landscape, his “sub-underground” approach connected with a new wave of listeners. On Jupiter exemplifies this era—where deep basslines, swirling horns, spaced-out synthesizers, and Afro-futuristic chants collide to create a truly singular sound.
Now remastered by Technology Works, Strut proudly reissues On Jupiter on vinyl LP, featuring a replica of its original hand-assembled sleeve (selected from the many unique 1979 editions) and newly commissioned liner notes from Arkestra member Knoël Scott and Sun Ra expert Paul Griffiths.
