One of the ultimate classics of space disco is being re-issued by Nang Records. This is such a treat!!! for those unfamiliar with Space, this french band from the 70s/80s and beyond produced a string of records that are extremely influential. The “Space” project was put together by producer JP Illescuo in 1977. It all started with the “Magic Fly” melody which was originally a slow-tempo piano piece by Didier “Ecama” Marouani. JP added Paris session musician stalwarts Roland Romanelli, and Jannick Top into the mix and energized a upbeat and futuristic sound based around synthesizers and a pounding 4/4 beat. The ‘Magic Fly’ single was originally released in 1977 and became a hit all over Europe and the US. The album of the same name followed the same year featuring 7 tracks of futuristic soundscapes for the downtrodden 70s.
