Thanks to Kaiserredux I'll forever have nightmares because of that... song. If someone from Devs reads it, here's my message: I hope your PC is so slow, that you will listen to this for a long, long time. Thank you.
I second this message, I have to mute my computer because it’s a potato and takes 15 minutes to load the game, so I get to listen to almost the whole song 🙃
space is all around us but there is no NASA space program. They want us to believe there are aliens from other planets so they can stage a fake War of the Worlds alien invasion with Demon possessed Nephilim Giant/Animal hybrids created on private Rothschild islands. They unearthed Nephilim bones, cloned them & isolated the Giantism gene. By cross hybridizing species they can create any Giant Monster they've shown us in MK Ultra Hollywood movies including Dragons, Lycans, 60 Ft Great White Sharks, Leviathans, Giant Apes, Jeepers Creepers that look like Demonic Fallen Angels, Cat People, Bigfoot Wookies, ALIEN Scorpion hybrids & Dinosaurs that never existed millions of years ago. Think of all the different Lizard species, Giant Flying Fox Bats, Gators/Crocs, Giraffes, Rhinos, Elephants, Whales, Spiders, Scorpions & numerous other species they could cross hybridize & splice in the Giantism gene. Pelicans look a lot like Pterodactyls don't they ? Megalodon looks like a Giant Great White Shark that they may unleash for Ke11y Slater's final pro event which happens to be the 11th championship event of the WSL pro surfing tour in Hawa11, the Bi11abong Pipeline slave Masters Dec 8-20 with the 13th falling on a Friday. Slater won his 11th world title on 11-6-2011. Slater just turned 47 on Feb 11th. 4+11=11. Slater wears jersey #11. Revelation 9:11 They have over them a king, an Angel of the abyss whose name A-bad-don means Destroyer & so does A-pol-lyon.....The abyss is nothingness so who is the king of the abyss ? Lucifer aka Satan is the king of the abyss. The Twin Towers were symbolic of a giant #11. According to the official lie Flight 11 hit the N Tower at 14 minutes to 9 then 911 days later on 3-11-2004 they bombed the Madrid trains. On 9-11-1987 Peter Gabriel won 9 MTV awards for his video SLEDGEHAMMER. On 9-11-1992 HAARP engineered Hurricane Iniki hit Kauai for 3 hours. I is the 9th letter & K is the 11th letter of the alphabet. I check CNN's website daily & the #11 pops up way to often to be a coincidence. The occult love the number 11, they also love the numbers 3,6,9,13 & 18 with 18 containing 3-6's. Currently the Patriots & Steelers are tied at 6 Super Bowls each. SF & Da11as both have 5 each so is Da11as or SF going to win the 2020 SB to complete the 666 trifecta ? How many conference championships have the Pats won ? Silly question, 11 of course. The Yankees have won 27 World Series which is a multiple of 9....999 or an upside down 666. You've heard of the 27 club ? The UK emergency number is 999, the US emergency # is 911. The most popular Porsche is the 911. The end of WW1 was 11-11-1918 also recognized as Armistice day which is a national holiday. Did you know that Chicago has the ZIP codes 60666 & 60606 & they have an apartment complex called the Twin Towers Apartments. Next year will be 11 years since the Sears Tower in Chicago was renamed Wi11is Tower. Is Chicago the next 9-11 ? You'd have to ask the CIA or if you have any friends in the Illuminati they may know ? In Christopher Reeves movie Superman the Hoover dam breaks open which would take a massive earthquake or a HAARP Directed Energy blast. Hoover dam also is destroyed in Dwayne Johnson's San Andreas. When they HAARP the Hoover dam those 30 ft Angel statues will fall like Fallen Angels. Imagine the destruction trillions of water will do to the lakes & dams? Numerous areas rely on those dams for their water supplies including Nevada, LA & San Diego. I guarantee you they are going to destroy the Hoover dam & numerous other dams including dams along the Mississippi. They are using Directed Energy to create all weather systems/Geo disaster including hurricanes, tornadoes, drought, wildfire, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes & tsunamis. They are purposely destroying homes, crops , & drinkable water sources. Control the food & water & you control the commoners. It's obvious they are staging fake mass shootings with crisis actors who can't cry on cue. They interview parents who allegedly lost a child in a mass shooting hours before but there are no tears streaming down their faces ??? I guarantee you they will disarm America ! Then they will begin herding us into FEMA Death camps equipped with XL plastic stackable coffins, microwave death chambers & guillotines. Revelation 20:4 explains the guillotines. We are living in End Times but most people are in denial
A cabdriver friend of mine once took Sun Ra and members of his band to the airport from Ann Arbor. He was describing the trip to me. He said, "We didn't *drive* to the airport, we *flew*!"
I had a cassette recording of a performance they did at an Eclipse concert in 1978, I think it was. They broadcast it over CBN. Somebody stole it out of my car about 35 years ago...
@@louishead4495 I remember what I recall the second time seeing them in 74 or 75 maybe at the Jazz Showcase in Chicago. I remember being lower case disappointed to see some members of the Arkestra sitting at the bar like normal humans lol. Not sure alot or any of them were actually drinking alcohol, saw in one doc or another most or all tend to avoid it, could be wrong. Anyway the tall guy who plays that conga with the sticks told me that Sun Ra had pointed at some tree across the street from their place in Philly and said it would be hit by lightning and he wanted him to make a drum out of it, which was the one he was using. Pulling my leg? Very possibly. But a cool story anyway. I think I'm remembering it right over 45 years.
The pride of the universe: Sun Ra and Arkestra. And thank you to an old friend who introduced me to Sun Ra as part of my musical coming of age. Has anyone know of a site or place (sorry about that. . ) to see the transcribed lyrics to this song? Any leads will be appreciated.
Just finished the full whopping 21 minutes and I think I've been transported to another place, definitely don't hear anything other than the words "space" and "place".

One of the amazing, mesmerizing extended moments on record. By the 4 minute mark I am always uplifted to where the heart is a source and his travels so real, so present and elevating. Yeah. Friend of mine typed "space is the place" on a comment of mine elsewhere so of course I was moved, I was placed here with this amazing music of an amazing man, a being of music so rare and so here.
Imagine capturing the pure, chaotic, everchanging, quantum entanglement aspects of consciousness, that we call "space" (outer, inner, neither) via a jazz ensemble? Sun Ra was a God, traveling through "space" on notes and tunes. I can dig it.
Sofi is led by her spirit animal. He introduces himself as her grandfather. he appears as a mix between a turtle and a spider. his name: Mover they go to the blood mines so that sofi can regain consciousness Her mind is a confused mess of weird sounds and occasionally spontaneous beauty but she can dig
Agreed. This IS jazz, 'Standards' don't make sense at all. Jazz is a free-form expression, and Sun Ra and the Arkistra were pioneers. Parliment, Pfunk, Chilli Peppers, as well as the ecology movement were all influenced by this legendary artist.
Never listened much to PINK FLOYD. PINK FLOYD fans at my hs were out there. But the music and concept albums sustain interest among music lovers. Same to be said of SUN RA. Killer bill would had been SUN RA, PARLIAMENT FUNKADELIC and PINK FLOYD. Would had been highlight of an outdoor music festival.

Do not forget Marshall Allen. 47th and State. The Regal Ballroom. All gone. All forgotten.
Thank you my brother. That evening on the Great Lakes was very special. 2 years earlier, me and my gal were in NYC, and went to the Village Vanguard to see Rahsaan Roland Kirk, and during the second set when he was playing Ellington ballads, on flute (are you kidding)? Pat Patrick walked out of the audience, maybe 20 people, and brought his baritone to the stage, the rest? Bliss. Thank you for your reply.
SPACE IS THE PLACE!!!!!!!!!! if you ain't ready...don't go.....KNOW YOUR FRUITS......BEFORE ENTERING STRANGE ORCHARDS.........🙏🙏🙏...for real.......(HOME OF THE EXTRATERRESTRIAL BROTHERS)..........peace...
Saw SUN RA at Squat Theatre in NYC near Chelsea (a space that became NELL'S, I believe) and could not believe how much PF had mined, for popular consumption, the migratory freedom of blues based sound that spread simultaneously into jazz, rock and funk. One of a kind card, and I mean 55th card in your purchased deck of 54, is this artist. Art Ensemble of Chicago is high brow Lawrence Welk compared with this Arkestra.
P-Funk comparisons are more common than Pink Floyd. Almost forgot about Pink Floyd. I remember now that Yes with Rick Wakeman was also mentioned as being influence by Sun Ra. Quite possibly the technology and Sunny's use of it in the mid to late '50s is the source.
Also, I remember both Sun Ra and Rick Wakeman were included in Robert Moog's movie Moog, Along with Bernie Worrell of P-Funk fame, with Bootsy Collins...
The first jazz show I ever saw was Sun Ra when I was 19. I haven't been the same ever since.
Maybe about 10 years ago i took some codeine and fell asleep listening to Sun Ra... haven't been the same since 😅
Profound experience, indeed ...
I was fortunate enough to see him and his Arkestra live twice in the 1986-1988 time period.
Once in a small club in Greenwich Village where the Arkestra took up about one-third of the room, a place called 'Sweet Basil' then later in Philadelphia, the Chestnut Street Cabaret.
At Sweet Basil the group did their customary 'processional' off stage and through the audience at the end of their last set. Sun Ra patted me, sitting in a aisle seat, on the shoulder as he walked by, while I enthusiastically tapped and snapped to the back beats.
The. East , Claver Place , Brooklyn NY , late '80s . The Arkestra touched down and SUN RA lifted us into ORBIT

+AMBASSiDOR EHANi Yeah dude, the uploader originally probably wanted to post it sometime in december 2009 or something ;). Well worth the wait. Seriously I think it's a coincidence, but we will never know...
no such thing as coincidence, just unplanned by human and planned by the universe! we cant always comprehend why :)
2.1K also.
Those vocals starting ~8 minutes in give me hope for being a musician
Love the intro. Anyone know the instrument used in the very beginning? I want to say ethervox, but I don't think that's right.
+Jacob Baird Moog Synthesizer?
Thanks for making my brain squishy again .it was getting awful rigid.
i enjoy this description
I feel like someone is playing a big joke on me with this
it's a really fucking good one though and I have absolutely no clue why
ABSOLUTELY lOve SunRa. I am a long time fan. I remember them playing at Vernon Park in Philly. I was a preteen and it was Pfunk and PinkFloyd time as well...yes they but, hard off SunRa... I do believe that space is the place but y'all go, I am staying here to help heal the earth
The event is near Soon all shall leave earth and go back home. Your friendly space traveler . also thanks for helping earth it hasn't been easy LOl .
Off topic, Jonzun Crew did a "Space is the Place" also. Its good! Totally unrelated music...but quite good.
As I listened to this I without warning had a nosebleed. Good stuff.
Signs of your 6th chakra opening up, it's a good sign.
One of Greatest Mind in DeepDeeperJazz!
The works of a genius
Trout Mask Replica 2: Neon Meate Dream Boogaloo
Finish it, damnit!!! Neon Meate Dream of a Octafish!!!!!

Forever the man! SUN RA!!
beenThere,dunThat...~ so what'sNext::::~sunRa pushed my envelope back in 73'.
here I am 42 years on still waiting for the cacophony to die down.
I'm just an earthbound misfit learning to fly.
sun ra pushed the enveiop in 1959
Is it me or are the backing vocals on a tape loop?
This is improvisational jazz, they were all there at once generating this beauty
butt we stuck here on earth ,,,,,...., fuckk ;(((
Space is everywhere, man.
+benjamin molina It's alright, Earth is both travelling through and a part of space.
You are space
For now. @dimensionesimaginarias For now.
The baritone sax is not in 5/4. If you beat 1/4 with your hands, you notice that it is shorter (than 5/4) ... and longer than 4/4.
Is right in the middle
For me, the sax that accompanies the whole song, can only be 9/8
if played backwards this summons demons!
cheers.
Did you ever give a listen to his album titled, "Angels and Demons at Play"?
Crazy good, can be a hard listen, but definitely worth it

Notes
All compositions and arrangements Enterplanetary Koncepts, BMI
Recorded October 19 and 20 (Sea Of Sounds, Rocket Number Nine), 1972, at Streeterville Recording Studio, Chicago
Mixed at The Village Recorder, Los Angeles
The Arkestra and Space Ethnic Voices perform with permission from El Saturn Records
Note: Space Is The Place was originally released on Blue Thumb Records in 1973 as BTS-41. Impulse producer Ed Michel supervised the recording session. Impulse, then owned by ABC, was releasing many of Sun Ra's albums under a distribution agreement with Saturn Records during the same time. For these reasons Space In The Place has been returned to its rightful place on Impulse.
one of the GOAT albums
Lets play it on the jukebox!
Musical Chess not Checkers!!! \o/
If space is not the place then I don't know where the hell It Is. Too good.
advanced Dixieland---love it--all instruments making a complete musical statement. swinging
Quasimoto/madlib introduced me to this track.
lets all go to Saturn
I've been to Saturn.

How was it
+licenseless rider Too many sandworms
WHY KAISERREDUX WHY
I forgot, what was the place again?
keep playing it til you get it
Der Sonnengott ist Licht, Liebe, Gerechtigkeit Güte, Freiheit und steht für alles was gut ist im Leben!
Sun Ra and his Solar Myth Arkestra! He said that he and his group were looking for the note to "Split the Universe!"
Viv Albertine brought me here. 👌
All homage to Ra!
I used to play this on the jukebox at The 'Dube in Columbus Ohio.
Life begins.
At the four minute mark rn, cant wait for them to stop saying Space is the Place
*If you're delusional your call will be transferred to the Mothership*
Navy Pier in Chicago, 1976,, doing LSD 25, on the roof of the Pier grooving to the Arkestra with June Tyson leading the vocals, and John Gilmore (tenor) and Pat Patrick (baritone). . .leading the band, with Sun Ra (keyboards) doing what he always did. Do not forget Marshall Allen. 47th and State. The Regal Ballroom. All gone. All forgotten.
Marshall's actually still around. Also not sure any of them will ever be totally forgotten though they may be gone
Thanks for the news on Marshall Allen. That is to good to know. Thank you my friend.
Yeah man, I'm imagining your story. Being there must've been incredible (that was the year I was born)
Thank you my brother. That evening on the Great Lakes was very special. 2 years earlier, me and my gal were in NYC, and went to the Village Vanguard to see Rahsaan Roland Kirk, and during the second set when he was playing Ellington ballads, on flute (are you kidding)? Pat Patrick walked out of the audience, maybe 20 people, and brought his baritone to the stage, the rest? Bliss. Thank you for your reply.
Wow these are my new musical heroes who I've heard of for years but now I can really HEAR them
Men have gone mad trying to figure out the time signature of that sax riff...
5/4 now I am officially mad
@@nickthabit420 count in eighth notes, it's easier ;)
@@gabinoo BTW greatest bass line ever.
xcept for Astro Black.
@@nickthabit420 I'm getting 7/4 myself? Are you counting the extra bit at the end? Maybe it's 5/4 3/4??? (Now I am losing my sanity)
The female who begins ..."singing" ? at 13:04 is blowing my mind heh
sorry to break it to you chief, but i think it's a theremin
The highest tones a sax is capable of before going into dog whistle frequency.
bartsnowfleet i think it sounds like a voice
THRU THE WALLS!!!
Where is the death grips sample
Grandioso!
Free🎉🎉
damn, space really is the place then, huh
SPACE IS THE PLACE!!!!!!!!!! if you ain't ready...don't go.....KNOW YOUR FRUITS......BEFORE ENTERING STRANGE ORCHARDS.........🙏🙏🙏...for real.......(HOME OF THE EXTRATERRESTRIAL BROTHERS)..........peace...
Sun Ra is my lord
his story
Is my mistery
Saw SUN RA at Squat Theatre in NYC near Chelsea (a space that became NELL'S, I believe) and could not believe how much PF had mined, for popular consumption, the migratory freedom of blues based sound that spread simultaneously into jazz, rock and funk. One of a kind card, and I mean 55th card in your purchased deck of 54, is this artist. Art Ensemble of Chicago is high brow Lawrence Welk compared with this Arkestra.
Ethan Hill PF = Pink Floyd?
***** think P-Funk, then again Pink Floyd...
***** i never heard anyone using PF as a short way of saying P-Funk
P-Funk comparisons are more common than Pink Floyd. Almost forgot about Pink Floyd. I remember now that Yes with Rick Wakeman was also mentioned as being influence by Sun Ra. Quite possibly the technology and Sunny's use of it in the mid to late '50s is the source.
Also, I remember both Sun Ra and Rick Wakeman were included in Robert Moog's movie Moog, Along with Bernie Worrell of P-Funk fame, with Bootsy Collins...
Fucking anthem, get involved in the drama!!
B free brings me here
WHOA!
The same is heard in disco 3000
Yeah, but Ace is the place (with the helpful hardware man).
So much complexity like the universe but still in a polyrythmic balance
