This was the first song play by Sun Ra I ever heard, back in 1977 when I found the album "Nubians of Plutonia" in the $1.99 cutout bin. I now have close to 100 Sun Ra albums and enjoy playing in a band her on Chicago's south side with a couple of musicians who played with Sun Ra over 50 years ago. BTW, the baritone sax player is Pat Patrick, the father of the current governor of Massachussetts. Sun Ra plays an early Wurlitzer electric piano, given to him before Ray Charles' "What I Say".
It was made in the 70's. The storyline I think is great. One of my major inspirations. I also think the same artist that did daft punk's videos did these character designs as well.
Pretty compelling stuff!! The video edit is a perfect match to the music, Wow!
My compliments, emerpus01

Love Galaxy Express 999, Captain Harlock, & everything I ever heard by Sun Ra was great. Your other two Amv's were awesome as well...

This video here proves how far Sun Ra was ahead of his time. This music is the perfect representation of what can be achieved with a truly free mind.

I finished this video in May of 2006. The source footage is from 1979, and the music is from the early 50s.
