Description Hide Show Strut proudly presents Nuclear War, a powerful collaboration between UK collective The Heliocentrics, Sun Ra Arkestra legends Marshal Alen and Knoel Scott, and vocalist Bilal – issued on limited-edition hazardous orange and yelow vinyl exclusively for Record Store Day 2026. The Nuclear War recordings stem from a rare session at Malcolm Cattos Quatermass Sound Lab in January 2015 – The group had assembled in London to rehearse for their performance at Giles Petersons Worldwide Awards, where Alen received the Lifetime Achievement Award and Catto the John Peel Award – With The Heliocentrics trademark raw, psychedelic energy as the backbone, the ensemble captured a series of reimagined Sun Ra classics in a spontaneous, one-off studio moment, and these tapes that have remained unheard in Cattos archive until now. The 4-track EP features a sinuous take on Ronnie Boykins Angels And Demons At Play, originally recorded in 1960, a strident version of Where Pathways Meet which was originally created for the much-loved Sun Ra Lanquidity album in 1978, and a dense and deep re work of 1972s Astro Black featuring Bilals incredible otherworldly vocals – The title track Nuclear War is re-worked into a cavernous groove featuring Heliocentrics vocalist Barbora Patkova- Nuclear War is mixed by Malcolm Catto, mastered and cut by Frank Merritt at The Carvery, and designed by Alex Evans of Reason For Being Studio.
