Funk from Outer Space

In the early 1980s, a big trend was music that sounded spacey or futuristic. What are your favorite funk jams that sound like they could have come from outer space?

Some of mine are:

Planet Rock - Soul Sonic Force
Play At Your Own Risk - Planet Patrol
Pack Jam - Jonzun Crew
I'm Ready - Kano
Freak-A-Zoid - Midnight Star
Nunk (New Wave Funk) - Warp 9
No Stopppin' That Rockin' - Instant Funk
Automatic - Prince
Invasion - Ray Parker, Jr.
Space Is The Place - Jonzun Crew
Space Is The Place - Newcleus
We Are The Jonzun Crew - Jonzun Crew
Numbers - Kraftwerk
Spacey Lady - Maurice Starr

I always thought P's "Automatic" was influenced by the songs I mentioned.

"Automatic" sounds VERY influenced by "Cars".
