The Mothership Connection is a TV documentary on "the black presence in outer space from Nasa to Star Trek, from George Clinton to Sci Fi". It also features May, Atkins, Mad Mike (masked) and Samuel Delaney. IIRC Sun Ra is mentioned too.

Now its my chance since its friday OT day... What movies/docs would ppl recommend getting their hands on that may be of interest to members of this list and are related to music that is discussed on this list (wider than just techno then). Thanks In Advance 'A Joyfull Noise' is a new one to me....<fires up imdb.com>... bah no result...<fires up google> Rav -----Original Message----- From: Brendan Nelson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 23 October 2003 17:38 To: Jo Johnson; Philip; 313 Subject: RE: (313) more sun ra I've got that movie - I think it's definitely worth buying! It sits on my video shelf next to "Brother From Another Planet"... "A Joyful Noise" is a good one too, but that's more of a documentary, and features some amazing footage; rooftop renditions of "Astro Black", Sun Ra playing synth while spinning around, hands behind his back. Well worth picking up if you can find it!
