Review by asteroidbunny Jun 27, 2008

Very peculiar compilation repackaging some excellent Bernard Fevre and Eddie Warner electronic library tracks (Eddie Warner's "Drug" sounding more like an excerpt from an Amon Duul I freakout than anything resembling disco!)

The 'space disco' theme extends to some extremely dubious Top-Of-The-Pops LP style session band cover versions (Telstar, Space Odyssey, Star Wars and more...)

My guess is that this was a budget LP released to cash in on the popularity of Space, Meco and the like, the library tracks of Warner & Fevre pulled from the Illustrations Musicales & Musax libraries to pad out the gaps between the pop numbers.

Needless to say the Bernard Fevre tracks are as marvellous as you might expect: otherworldly cosmic electronica of the highest order. Eddie Warner's two tracks (including Luke Vibert favourite "Telex") offer an equally tripped out, more krautrock-inclined rhythmic pulse.
