I saw Sun Ra in Berkeley in the late 70's. He did this rap that went something like '"as long as you tell yourself the truth if you win you win and if you loose you still win!" There was a young black guy playing an eight foot long cunga drum, standing on a chair, and for some reason, seeing me in the audience digging the haps he motioned to me, a white kid, to get up on stage with Sun Ra and a whole band of intense visionary musicians and play that drum! I was too shy and I have always regretted not doing it!

"Equation-wise, the first thing to do is to consider time as officially ended. We work on the other side of time." I love that.

Studies have shown that, tragically, over 35% of people today still do not know that space is the place. Like and share to raise awareness.

I first heard these words from this scene as a capella in a trance music track, decided to look up the words in google, saw that this movie referenced, and finally put a name behind the words, Sun Ra. Looked him up in google and discovered a plethora of music I had not heard before. Amazing how accidental discoveries like this can lead to a discovery of art and music both of which are inspirational and ingenious in their design and above all else, timeless. R.I.P. Sun Ra and thank you for sharing your artistic ingenuity with the world.

There will never be another like Sun Ra. I try to spread his Gospel, by sneaking on his music when people visit, or at parties and such... Without exception, someone always comes up to me and asks what this insanely awesome music is... He's on a better planet than us now. Great upload, thanks.

I saw SunRa & his intergalactic arkestra in 1976 at Kent State University/Mbari Mbayo Theater for a whole $5.00! Talk about an experience...lights music incense 90 minutes. AMAZING

Thank you Kirk Knight for bringing me to this greatness

the music is different here, the vibrations are different, madlib

Sun Ra is the deepest musician to grace this earth during this modern time - no one is deeper.

My take on this is the multi layered connections he made with the narrative, science, philosophy, and emotion. Mirror Face is a good listener. We could all use a friend that hold the mirror up

I just watched this movie on a day when SpaceX launched the Endeavor and polics cars were burning in the city. This guy, Sun Ra, i think he may have been on to something

God was this some beautiful cinematography. As low budget as this probably was, you really get the feeling of some strange foreign planet. Mirror face guy is awesome too.

The music is different here, the vibrations are different here, not like planet Earth;Planet Earth sound of guns, anger, frustration. One of the best sayings ever!

This guy had an incredible imagination. There is no one like him.

I love wierd 70's stuff.

"We work on the other side of time "

that was unbelievable. he was a trip. i saw sun ra and the arkestra in austin texas at the world armadillo headquarters 1978?? the cat was out there. great band and totally unique.

Space is the place with the helpful hardware folks!

One of my all-time favorite movies. It ought to have been on everyone's list, I guess.

Just realized that Madlib sampled part of this in his album as Quasimoto, The Unseen. Makes a lot of sense.

Saw him at Chicago Fest. The livingness the livingness.

now is the time for space is the place

Happy Birthday, Sun Ra! Thank you for your magic!

Now that the space age is really here, we now know that "Space is the place!"

The Salvador Dali of jazz music.

He is THE man!!! :)....a great orchestrator and composer..

WOW! i never heard of this brotha.i watched a bobby hemmitt vid,and he mentioned sun ra.this video blew my mind.

Che Sun Ra lo possa illuminare!!!

Sun Ra (born Herman Poole Blount, legal name, Le Sony'r Ra; May 22, 1914 - May 30, 1993)

Shadows of tomorrow by Quasimoto brought me here

This place is accessible after a bong from my private stock

deep INTERGALACTIC jazz stuff from SUN RA !

The DEEPEST MUSICIAN IN OUR LIFE TIME, period.

"....better still. Teleport the whole planet [Earth] here through music." -Sun Ra

Sun Ra was so into the future it will take being from the future to understand where he was coming from in the past. I still have a hard time dealing with his sounds.

sun ra changed my perception of sound and color !!

Woah!! What Is this masterpiece? I need to watch It now!!

Thank you for this vid!!! 🙌🏾

I’m here after André 3000 podcast interview with Rick Rubin

I've just now discovered Sun Ra. Wow!

So so far ahead of his time. We are not alone sheeple 😳

Awesome, Sun Ra was a multi-media genius!

Why am I just now finding out about Sun Ra and this movie??🤷🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️ Shout outs to The Master Elder Teacher Bobby Hemmit

i have got to see this movie. run ra's music is wild i love it. take your imaginashion away , i just discoved tis. i gotto se eit

Sun Ra that you can light!!!

Affect my vibrations under different stars I'm ready to teleport that's deep shit

Madlib, I don't feel so good....

I feel SO blessed, to have randomly stumbled upon this movie on HBO this week. This space brother was truly ahead of his time. 🛸🙏🏻🌎🛸🙏🏻🌎

@ronson232 sneaking sun ra's music at a party... you're the man :)

I wouldve said Sun Ra is nuts, If his Music didn't blow my mind on a regular basis.

If you look at some of the most effective bandleaders in the world you'll find Duke, Count, and Sun Ra. He made his band move in together to save money. Being part of his band was described as "cultish" by some.

33 people would rather live on Earth. I'm finna go chill on the rings of Saturn with my teacher.

space is indeed the place

Also on the back of the elliocentric(1) world of Sun Ra album, there are some highly sophisticated drawings of the orbirts of all the planet in our solar system. And when you compare the two, (book and Sun Ra cover) the drawing are representative of the the law that RA talks in the book. Now thats weird. If you wanna know more on the subject. Listen to Nassim Haramein- rogue valley metaphysical library(2003). It WILL CHANGE your Life ! Promise Love to All ! :)

THE ENIGMATIC SUN RA! EYE LIKE THIS!!!

to think he came up wit hwith this concept in the 1920's!!! way ahead of his time like Garvey.

TIMELESS!

Meshes In The Afternoon influence!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice job, keep it up. New music from Brandon Jarod coming soon, great sounds!

still love it!!

I seriously couldn't agree more.

@ppc1989ark Very nice Sir. It looks like by what you are saying, is that he wanted to introduce people to different spiritual concepts, and to do that he created his own fantastical background story. It looks like he had some very unique influences as a child such as spending time at a masonic lodge reading their literature. You must have seen my comments on a couple Ram Dass videos lol...I just started reading 'Be Here Now' and decided to look him up.

thank u,

Listen to THE PROPHET !! He's a REAL out of this world !

Whoa! AWESOME! Thanks for sharing... -G

Still dont get why this guy is so popular.I mean wooopadee dooo!

@DoktorSick YOUR DEAD ON IT, those who need drugs to be creative are not using innate creativity but relying on something external to help them be more creative. Big problem for some musicians who run out of core material.

this video made for one of the illest samples in a hiphop song that I know :D "Madvillain/Quasimoto - Shadows of Tomorrow" so cool

This mood..

@Digilsd actually thats a urban myth, Crick wasnt under LSD, a chemistry nobel price winner was indeed under LSD when he figured out some great contribution to biochemistry (google it for more nfo). he publicly said lsd played a big role on him coming to that discovery. LSD came from a "well educated man" who now sits beside buddah in a shinny paradise way beyond, RIP ALBERT HOFFMANN forever in our hearts

It's life, Jim, but not as we know it!

Up and coming singer Janelle Monae MUST have seen this film,because her "Tightrope" video features the same mirror-faced sentries(?) seen here. Check it out,people. It ROCKS the dump!

I am White and I absolutely love his music...Sun Ra is God an alien who came to earth in human form to try and show a better way only problem is most of us did not understand it at the time and still don't - I know I do and Sun was a genius!

C-Mos - 2 Million Ways (Axwell Remix).

good upload

Beam me up!!

sun ra was a very well educated man with a unique musical and philosophical aproach. If thinking out of box equals taking drugs to you - I feel deeply sorry for you ..

i just noticed the same thing. very cool when you put them together. I was wondering why his voice sounded so familiar

Okay, bro. When you invent your "teleportation" machine, you let us know. "Space is the place with the helpful hardware folks." Yeah, I've seen the commercial.

Sampled in Ida Engbergs "Junoverse" track!

so awesome

ART.

I think many hip middle class europeans (and japanese) like to mythologize retro 'pop culture' and that may include black music and film. many jamaican artist such as the legendary lee 'scratch' perry, play to a audience too young to remember the music.

I know this gentlemen would execute me on the spot for being white if there weren't any repercussions, but he has a really calming way about him and I enjoy the slow manner of his speaking.

MADLIB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!THE BEAT CONDUCTOR

Space is the Place - Gotta go to Space - Space - Are we in space? - Hey, mister - mister - mister... Space. Gonna go to Space.

wow... this is dope.

@frg8888 actually Sun Ra is where they admittedly got their style from.

I'm feeling the planet already.No plighty

Damn...

Ida brought me here

Mashes of the afternoon

brilliant

I'm black and i know that no single race is good. A world of one race would still end up with a world like this one. Rich,poor,happy,sad,good,bad,short,tall,new born,death,pretty,ugly,godly and worldly people.

Hey, Mr. Ra, when I die, I'll look you up my Man... Transcendental, y'all.... Peace and Saturnalia....

My best friend from high school, a brilliant proto-artist and later a schizophrenic, was really into this guy. I never got it.

Hi! Is there some House-Lovers out there? Please Someone tell me what´s that House/Techno Track the minutes above are used for samples in? It just doesn`t come to my mind. The Track in my memory was quite popular and probably from the late 80´s or early 90´s...Thank you very much!=)

@qmark5 awesome, thanks!

@aquamanvan And amazingly enough,it's on KZfaq! Thanks for the tip.I'll check that out.
