Sun Ra and his Solar Myth Arkestra return to Earth after several years in space. Ra proclaims himself to be “the alter-destiny” and sets out to enact his plan to use music as salvation for the black community—even battling with the devil himself to save black people from oppression.

Beyond the sublime frequencies lies astute social commentary of the chess-game fate of Black inner-city youth.
