About the album

In 1977 a group of French musicians in astronaut helmets put out "Magic Fly", a shimmering synth instrumental that went top five across Europe, and Space were suddenly at the front of a new sound. Led by keyboard player Didier Marouani, they mixed disco grooves with swirling Moog and ARP synthesizers and a very 70s idea of the future.

This collection covers their first two albums: "Magic Fly" and "Tango In Space", the slinky "Carry On, Turn Me On" with Madeline Bell's vocal, and "Running In The City" and "Just Blue". Daft Punk and Air were clearly taking notes. It's retro-futurism from the people who made the original future; we'd recommend wearing the helmet, if you have one.
