Jittery, dark industrial soundtrack vibes on this one. Love it

Laid back version with some really nice fusion style jamming. Doesn't had for deep space, but segues beautifully into a nice 'Uncle John's Band'

Man, I came on to vote for this AND to say that it definitely reminded me of Zappa at times. Kudos to the commenter above me who was already on it. This Space has that weird metallic jangly tone that Frank employed on albums like Lather. Great stuff if you're into Space, which you should be :)

Just saw that this show is going to be officially released in October as part of the 'American Beauty' 50th Anniversary Deluxe CD, fwiw
