Sun Ra is an acquired taste ... he scored very 'theatrical' music and so went his live shows ... saw him once by accident and found the music interesting in context ... to hear his charts without the live show is indeed a challenging listen ... always thought he was to jazz what George Clinton is to funk ... though not necessary, it helps to see Funkadelics / Parliament to 'get' them ... though the freight train rhythm section comes through anyway
good luck with your exploration, maybe YouTube the Arkestra for some context if you haven't and things might click ...
