Topic: How did you discover Space?

If you have a story about how you discovered the band Space, post it here!

Me, I searched for "French Disco" on Youtube, and a video of the song "Magic Fly" was the first result on the list. Intrigued, I decided to check it out. I immediately took a liking to Space right there. Magic Fly is one of the best electronic songs I've ever heard! Strangely enough, neither the words "French" nor "disco" appeared in the tags list for that video or the title, so I don't know how it came to be first on the list/

Space is forever.

Re: How did you discover Space?

Hi,

Good topic!

For me it came with the mainstream back in the end of 70'ties. Just an interesting thing to mention is that while already listening to a hard/glam rock bands (Nazareth, Sweet, Suzi Quatro etc.) as well as to the pioneers of the electronic music Kraftwerk, we just heard about the band playing a "cosmic" music but didn’t have a chance to listen to it. Since we were very much into the aviation/astronautics and science fiction at that time, we were eager to get records of this band. Shortly this band appeared to be Space; "Just Blue" was the first album for me and my fellows. Then the "Deliverance" came into our homes and yards.

Anyway it goes back into the end of 70'ties.


Regards,


Giedrius

Re: How did you discover Space?

How i discovered Space? Well, when i was a little kid about 4 years old in the late 70's i picked up a vinyl record from my mother. It was a Top 20 hits compilation of that time and started to play it. After a while the track Magic Fly came up, that was the moment i fell in love with music and i discovered Space. The song had such an impact on me in such a way that i started to love electronic/synthesizer music.

Re: How did you discover Space?

I discovered Space when at the end of the seventies they were number one in France. You could see them on TV and listen to their songs on the radio. Their vinyl records and audio tapes were on sale everywhere. I used to buy them from my local shop "Le club du Disque" in Thonon les Bains. That was a great time ! I was a teenager.

Re: How did you discover Space?

I recall being a kid and seeing  Magic Fly on top of the pops in the UK.
I was blown away and bought the album.
That was the start of a lifelong  passion for the music. 
A passon which is difficult to fulfill in the UK sometimes as a lot of Space music isnt easily available here so i have to import it but its worth it !
