I've always dug outter space as a theme in music and I know that you can find it everywhere but I'm wondering if anyone has any specific bands or songs in the fusion jazz genre that have a similar sound to them. Stuff like this: YouTube - ‪Untitled‬‏ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aryc3gSkLuk

Try early Weather Report (w/ Miroslav Vitous or Alphonso Johnson on bass) or Return To Forever (post-Billy Connors; e.g. No Mystery).

The Weather Report already mentioned is worth checking out.
I have a 'Mystic Jazz' playlist which includes (song - artist):
Sais (Egypt) - Lonnie Liston Smith
Rhythm - Idris Muhammad
Ostinato (Site for Angela) - Herbie Hancock
The Oracle - Dave Holland Quartet
Essence - Donald Byrd
Xibaba - Donald Byrd
Power To the People - Joe Henderson
Hindsight and Forethought - Joe Henderson
