big up for anyone who loves true music, since decades the music industry has killed good quality music by sacrificing quality and originality for the benefit of the commercial success and have prostituted the artists.
But real music will always find a way up to wide open ears through the underground.
It's always puzzled me as to why Sun Ra's music was associated with sci-fi concepts and imagery. Outside of his theatrics and out spoken theories, his music always sounded so squarely earthbound.
I was inspired to create these videos when I heard 'Rocket Number 9 Take Off For the Planet Venus". The images came from a sci-fi anime, but I was trying to draw the parallels between Sun Ra and Leiji Matsumoto's work - that of space as a metaphor for spiritual advancement.
Also, wasn't "Space Is The Place" a sci-fi movie? (I haven't seen it)
Right. But I was refering to Sun Ra's work in general not particularly your film. Maybe it's a generational thing. Great work though! Now, how about some Hancock!!! Peace. ("Space is the Place" is officially out on DVD now, I believe. I have a copy of it, tough I think it's some sort of bootleg.)
He had to use earthly musical equipment,style and arrangements to reach the people of earth, or he would have totally lossed us. Sun Ra always complained that the instruments were primitive...hence, we were primitive.
Nice!!

So Sun-Ra is actually an alien? No wonder his music is so original. Rock the fuck on beautiful space brother.

I enjoyed it. However, I've always considered Ra's music as heavenbound. Just my opinion.
