BIG JIM SULLIVAN | Plays the Coral Sitar for the Space 1999 crew. Supplemented by the regular Barry Gray score (drawn primarily from "Another Time, Another Place"), English musician 'Big Jim' Sullivan would compose an eerie, atmospheric composition for the sitar to serve as the primary music track. Sullivan, a prolific session guitarist of the time, also appeared on camera-dressed in an Alpha uniform, he was the performer seen playing the piece in the story's opening scenes. Sullivan recorded many instrumental albums, including Sitar À Gogo and Sitar Beat, both from 1967.

Big Jim is my favorite. Space:1999 is the #1 sci-fi program ever. it was filmed from january 1974 to about march of 1977 with a 10 month break between february 1975 till december 1975. i met the actors and directors in NYC and it was the scariest show. i was 11 when it first aired in the USA. I thought Barry Morse was so cool and a cool guy when i met him. They all are. i like year 1 especiall "Testament of Arkadia".

As a 9 year old, Alpha was fully real to me. Actually furnished & functioning just built on Earth not the moon of course but otherwise an operational base. Now viewing these incredible set designs of seemingly endless corridors, travel tubes, monolithic nuclear reactor facilities, large living quarters, immense purposeful hydroponics, a "real" solarium never mind the most colossal Command Center in history. I see why even an adults eye would do a double take nevermind a kids. Now some 44 years on.. that amazement hasn't subsided unlike the '73 Pinto or some 1973 stylish clothes or that once new & modern jet of the future the DC-9, whose manufacturer too is a victim of a now long gone time. The amazement of Alpha Moonbase is that its future has yet to be...even 44 years on It's design hasn't aged or become laughably obsolete. It's still in a future "not yet" realized. Now THAT'S too cool.

I love very much all the Moonbase Alpha interiors. I was, and I am, pleased to see how much the worked hard to realize these magnificent sets. The idea of modular sets was very realistic... and yes they are even today in to the "future". The electronic elements as computers, monitors, aged but they were fantastic and I do not think of because my love for Space:1999 is unconditional and important are the plots of the episodes as a very good SF that doesn't age as all the masterpieces... Some time ago my wife bought me the Sorella Lamp, a little Space:1999 element in my home!!! Ciao!

there were 311 of them at the start - the production order isn't fixed but certainly a few were killed throughout season 1 - there are 6 rows of 6 in the room plus the performer of course - but I see 2 empty seats at the back too (so more like 8 % - 10% I think). I liked this bit and the jigsaw and chess scenes in other episodes which showed them passing time - I assume similar things occurred on Skylab and now on the ISS etc

I can't think of a cooler, more haunting opening sequence to any show. The Sitar track was called "Atonement",@georgeman2468 says it perfectly, to all those modern sci-fi lovin' Space:1999 detractors. Check out Victor relaxing in the middle aisle. He's stretched out, head titled back, eyes closed, just soaking it all in. Love it!

The electric sitar was invented in the early 1960's by the great New York session guitarist Vincent (Vinnie) Bell. You can also hear the instrument on 'Green Tambourine' by the Lemon Pipers and 'Do it Again' by Steely Dan. Vinnie played on "New York, New York' by Sinatra, and he plays the 'watery' guitar on the Twin Peaks theme.

I have no clue what's going on, but it's fascinating to see that from a 1975 perspective, in 1999 we would live on the moon, but still use sheets of paper and the monitors would be black and white!
