A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away… before “Acid Jazz” became the buzzword for every goatee-stroking bohemian in the 90’s, there was an unidentified funky object called United Future Organisation. Whizzing around the battlestar galactica in a spaceship, they mind-controlled human beings with their cutting edge experimentations in jazz, latin, trip hop, hip-hop, spy soundtracks and electronica.

Formed on the planet of JAPAN circa 1990 by DJs Tadashi Yabe, Toshio Matsuura and French expatriate Raphael Sebbag, they space-invaded Tokyo’s underground club scene and quickly became highly influential extraterrestrials that everyone worshipped. Soon enough, global domination was theirs and even Gilles Peterson and Norman Jay championed them.

Almost two decades on, the alien mothership is still going strong.

Since tomorrow is Valentine’s Day — although the whole commercialism of romance stinks — here’s a U.F.O. classic reminding us what ♥ L.O.V.E. really should be like.

After all, martians have feelings too.

Dedicated to all the aliens (and ah lians) from Venus whom I’ve loved before.
