Podcast Episode Summary
Space – Jupiter
And finally, something I know the Squeaker loves dearly but may not have had out in a while… something to help shattered new parents relax, and if they’re lucky it might even help send little Max off to sleep.
Space is probably the best ambient house record ever made. To listen to it is to journey across the Solar System, at times experiencing true beauty and at times being afraid, very afraid. This part of the journey – Jupiter – comes from the end of Side 1 and is a beautiful mellow section which calms the nerves following Mars, the scariest most darkside part of the LP that really gets your heart pounding. The album is a continuous mix and makes sense best in its entirety rather than on a track-by-track basis, so it was tricky to pick a single track to post. The lullaby at the end of this makes it most appropriate I think.
If you don’t know it then go and get it now. You need Space in your life.
Space is the work of Jimmy Cauty, who is most famous for being half of the KLF (Space was released on KLF Communications). Over the years he has been involved with loads of interesting & subversive music and visual arts projects too numerous to mention here – he featured in a very early incarnation of The Orb, has remixed various people as “The Scourge Of The Earth”, and one of my favourite of his recent works is a set of “Scab” stamps issued during the UK postal strikes a little while back, and which you can buy here if you have a lot of money to spare.
