Probably the earlier stuff like I mentioned above... I've heard the first four or five albums listed in his discography on Wiki- and they're very approachable. Supersonic Jazz, the one I listed here, still might be my fav of them, though. So much goodness. They were all remastered not too long ago, so you can find them relatively easily I think. But I'm still very much a Sun Ra beginner...

I think though, he's kind of like Zappa --- you sort of just have to plunge in at some point and then listen til you figure out what he does for you, then go from there.
