This is the first track from Sun Ra and His Intergalactic Solar Arkestra's Soundtrack to the Film Space is The Place. Recorded in Oakland, CA, in early 1972.
The first time I ever heard this song it was on a shuffled playlist and started playing right after Nuclear War gradually faded out. Seamless blend. Peak existential crisis.

Oh man, I can see it. Like a musical memento mori backed up by tonal whiplash.
