[sdiy] Essential listening?

[Rude 66]

heh.. nice one. there are 2 'space''s. the one you mention is indeed a klf
ambient side project. unfortunately i only have the cd on tape, because
apparently it's very rare.

the Space i meant is way earlier, and they are french. the album might
actually be called 'magic fly' instead of 'space', which was also their big
hit in europe. it's almost a popcorn style melody, with those phased jarre
strings in the back, and a heavy disco beat. can still be heard at
electroparties today. i have no idea who was behind it.

totally unrelated, but this is actually one of my best sounding records.. i
bought the original 12" from '76 or '77 in chicago a few years ago, and i
was really surprised by the fullness and hardness of the recording. very
well done...
