Cosmic Mashups

Pink Project were an Italian covers band working in the early 80s. They produced cosmic disco versions of popular tunes from Pink Floyd, Alan Parsons, Deep Purple, Michael Jackson, Space, Jean-Michel Jarre, etc. Domino was their first album, released in 1982. 6 of the 7 tracks are 2 song mashups. For example, the first track on the b side combines Alan Parsons' 'Hyper Gamma Spaces' with Jarre's 'Oxygene Part 4'. The music is well played and the combinations work well together. This 2lp set is fairly easy to come by and inexpensive if you look in the right bins. And . . . you can dance to this

Beam me up, Proxyon . . .

Ready for some more Nether cosmic sounds? Maybe? Ok, give this one a try. Late breaking synthpop/cosmic disco from the Netherlands. The Van Eijk brothers punched out this set of space themed synthy dance tracks in 1989. If you're fond of Future World Orchestra, Peru, or Space Art you will probably feel right at home with Proxyon.

Have a go . . ?

Hot Rocks

HOT R.S. = House Of The Rising Sun. They were a South African disco rock band who published their first discs in 1977. Their first two lps featured extended disco versions of rock classics. You can probably guess which famous track was covered on this, their initial effort. It's extended to over 14 minutes and features quite a bit of cheese (cake). 2 more tracks on the b-side also with a heavy disco flavor.

HOT R.S.

the old man's journey into the unknown

Here's one of those disco LPs that never gets boring. Good sign for a true classic.
Methusalem's "Journey into the unknown" also released as Empire "Self Titled".
Ralf Nowy, who played and produced a bunch of great & partially funky progressive Kraut LPs, is to be held responsible for this nugget. Trevor Bastow pleases us with some fantastic spatial Keyboard work! And the rhythm section - PURE BUST. Enjoy!

AMAZING SPACE VOL. 3

Danke Meda!!!!

I want that spaceship!

What I like most about all that "Cosmic Disco" stuff is that I

cannot take it too serious. I like the sounds and the rhythms

and all that (guess it reminds of the days when we returned home

from the playground to watch Captain Future on TV) but all that

can't keep me from giggling once in a while.

Anyway I like dancing with a moronic smile on my face!

I dont't laugh when listening to "Tschoung Fu" - one of the laid back

beauties featured on this excellent LP.

Cheers,

Basso
