Wavelength Infinity: A Sun Ra Tribute

Wavelength Infinity is a double album of Sun Ra tributes, released by Rastascan Records two years after the composers death. The Residents' contributed to it an edited version of their American Composers Series outtake, Daydream In Space (Is The Place).
==History==
Sun Ra was born in Birmingham, Alabama in 1914. He released his first album in 1957. Over the decades leading up to his death, he created one of the largest and strangest discographies in the music industry. His experimental and abrasive approach to Jazz music was influential to countless artists. Including those who call The Residents. This compilation, which collects 32 tracks comprised of Sun Ra covers and tributes, showcases his wide influence and features an exclusive shortened edit of The Residents' Space Is The Place cover. 
The track was conceived during The Residents' ill fated Sun Ra / Ray Charles cover album, recorded between February and May of 1987. It was first released on the compilation Daydream B-Liver in 1991.
This compilation also marks the first time that The Residents and the Gamelan Sekar Jaya would cross paths, but they wouldn't officially collaborate with until 1998's Wormwood at The Fillmore performance.
