Space - Magic Fly
Space entry on Wikipedia
Space is a French electronic music band created in 1977 by Didier Marouani (also known as Ecama). The first three albums — Magic Fly, Deliverance and Just Blue — were an immediate and staggering success (they sold over 12 million records all over the world). Although Didier Marouani left the band in 1979, the other two members Roland Romanelli and Jannick Top released in 1980 the -unsuccessful- album Deeper Zone under the name of Space. In early 80s Maraouni continued to perform and record under the name of Didier Marouani & Space, before participating in another band named Paris-France-Transit. The album Magic Fly, which is widely considered to be their best work, was released in audio cd in 2001, 24 years after its original release.
