''Space'' was a 1990 Ambient House Concept Album by Jimmy Cauty under the alias '''Space'''. Originally intended to be The Orb 's debut album, ''Space'' was refactored for release as a solo album following Cauty's departure from that group. ''Space'' was independently released on KLF Communications , the record label formed to distribute the work of Cauty's other project, The KLF . ORIGINS ''Space'' began as a collaboration between with Bill Drummond , he took the recordings with him. Reworked to remove Paterson's contributions, the album was released on the KLF Communications label, with Cauty alone receiving credit.KLF Communications (1990), vinyl label notes, ''Space'' SPACE LP1. According to Cauty, "It was a jam, all done on ( link ). COMPOSITION ''Space'' takes the listener on a voyage through the Solar System from Mercury outwards, with vast distances of empty space between worlds represented by periods of Minimalist ambience and near-silence. Synthesisers , excerpts from classical compositions, Sinusoidal Loops and communications from space Flight Controller s are among the sounds used to describe the voyage. This musical interpretation of a physical journey is also a characteristic of the early Ambient House recordings '' The Orb's Adventures Beyond The Ultraworld '' and The KLF's '' Chill Out ''. Cauty has called ''Space'' "a record for 14-year-old Space Cadet s to go and take Acid {Link without Title} for the first time". REVIEWS The All Music Guide attributes "incredibly sparse ambience" to ''Space'', with "long periods of near-silence only an occasional break for galactic sine-waves and similarly spacy tones". The album is "more important for who's on it than what's in it", they concluded.Bush, J., ''Space'' review, All Music Guide ([http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:plc8b5p4nsqa link ) TRACK LISTING ''Space'' comprises eight contiguous pieces across two sides of vinyl or one track of a CD. #"Mercury" – 1:40 #"Venus" – 2:00 #"Mars" – 8:47 #"Jupiter" – 6:36 #"Saturn" – 2:35 #"Uranus" – 3:08 #"Neptune" – 9:38 #"Pluto" – 3:57 REFERENCES
