The second album from SpaceArk. More brilliant self-released, private-press
jazz/soul from 1976 Los Angeles.
‘SpaceArk Is’ came out on Color World records in 1976, on a limited run of
about 5,000 copies. It followed their self-titled debut (also available now on
Mr Bongo) on the same original label, the year before.
For a handful of years in the Seventies, SpaceArk was one of the most
promising and electrifying bands in Southern California. Although their music
was far greater than the sum of its parts, those parts made for a very
original style. R&b, soul, rock, pop, jazz, classical … it all came together
in blissful stream of intricate compositions that swept up crowds from US
military bases to Northern Soul clubs around the UK.
SpaceArk wrote and performed more than 100 songs during their time together.
Most of them were not recorded and are now either lost or forgotten.
Official Mr Bongo reissue with liner notes by Amar Patel. Licensed direct from
