Space Occasionally Didier Marouani & Space 1 Are A French Electronic Music Band Active From 1977 Through 1980 And Returning With On-Stage Remake Performances Since 1982. Their Work Is Associated With The Short-Lived Space Disco Genre And Is A Precursor Of Electronica. Space Was Founded In 1977 By Didier Marouani Also Known As Ecama . The Band Consisted Of Didier Marouani Arrangers Roland Romanelli And Jannick Top And Singer Madeline Bell. Marouani By That Time Had Some Fame As A Solo Pop Singer But Soon Focused On His Band Whose Name Was Suggested By The Song “Magic Fly” Originally Written In 1976 For A Television Program Dedicated To Astrology. 2 Didier Marouani “Given The Words Of People Who Constantly Told Me That The Melody Resembles The Sounds Coming From Space I Chose “Space” As The Name". 3 In The Early Period Musicians Strongly Emphasized The Sci-Fi Orientation Of Their Group Often Performing In Stage Costumes Like Spacesuits. Another Reason For Appearing In Public In The Form Of "astronauts" Was The Current Contract Of Didier Marouani With The Company "Polydor". D. Marouani “The Producer And I Invited My Record Company To Release “Magic Fly” Under My Name But The Label Decided That The Composition Was Not Good Enough To Do This ... My Producer Found Another Company But I Could Not “light Up” Under In My Own Name Since The Contract With My Company Remained In Force... The Suits Appeared Also Because No One Could Recognize Me In It. I Had To Come Up With A Creative Pseudonym And I Settled On “Ecama”. 4 The First Three Albums — Magic Fly 1977 Deliverance 1977 And Just Blue 1978 — Sold Over 12 Million Records Globally. After The Recording Of Magic Fly American Drummer Joe Hammer Joined The Band. 5 However After "Just Blue" Was Released A Critical Moment Occurred In The Group’s History Related To The Increasing Desire Of Its Leader To Perform Concerts Previously Impossible Due To The Imperfection Of Available Synthesizer Models Which Led To A Conflict With Producer Jean-Philippe Iliesco. D. Marouani “... Everything Was Going Well But At That Time When I Met With My Producer I Told Him About My Desire To Perform On Stage. At That Time We Did Not Have A Single “live” Performance Only Television. I Managed To Get Permission For A Concert Under The Eiffel Tower With The Support Of Radio Station “Europe 1” And The Press Too But In The End My Producer Decided To Cancel Everything. And Then I Said “I'm Leaving ” Because - A Group That Does Not Give Concerts Will Die Sooner Or Later". 3 Didier Marouani Left The Band In 1979 And Joe Hammer Went On To Do Other Projects Romanelli And Jannick Top Continued And Released The Album Deeper Zone In 1980. The Band Split Up In 1981. From 1982 Marouani And Joe Hammer Performed And Recorded As "Didier Marouani & Space" With Janny Loseth Of Titanic As Lead Vocalist. The Band Was Later Renamed Paris-France-Transit In Response To Legal Action. Hammer Left In 1992. read less
