"Live at Montreaux" Great overview of a little bit of everything he does.

This basically boils down to how much 'out' you can take. If that's not a concern, I'd recommend Atlantis, The Heliocentric Worlds (Vol. 1/2), and Space Is The Place (either the soundtrack or the studio album). If you want something a little more normal, I'd recommend Angels & Demons, The Futuristic Sounds Of Sun Ra, and Visits Planet Earth.

Sun Ra's catalogue is jammed packed with brilliance but it is massively daunting. It is well worth the effort though!
