Pathways to Unknown Worlds is an album by jazz composer, bandleader and keyboardist Sun Ra and his Arkestra recorded in Chicago in 1973 and originally released on his Saturn label and rereleased by the ABC/Impulse! label in 1975. In 2000, Evidence Music released Pathways to Unknown Worlds Friendly Love, added an untitled track from the same sessions as well as the previously unreleased Friendly Love album.

Reception

The Allmusic review by Lindsay Planer stated: "the three free jazz instrumental improvisations are in many respects quite similar to the laissez-faire sonic free for alls that had become synonymous with Ra's concurrent Arkestra(s)".
