Baby, i come from space!
Here we go with some strange space-disco tracks and plenty vocoder sounds.

The Electric Connection was released as a single vinyl in Japan in the fall of 1979 as part of an advertising campaign for an avant-garde clothing company. Jim Gordon on drums (Eric Clapton, George Harrison, The Beach Boys and Alice Cooper), David Hungate played electric bass and was one of the founding members of the hit band Toto.

Michael Boddicker played all the synths and did the vocoder vocals. Michael was one of the most in-demand synthesizer players in LA at that time, and played on Michael Jackson's hit albums. Tim May has played the electric guitar and has played for Pointer Sisters and Whitney Houston. Paulinho Da Costa played all the percussion and he heard on countless funk & soul albums. The Voice of "Q" was a one-off project from the obscure disco production team of Michael Forte and Bruce Weeden. Released in 1982 on Philly World International label, the track had a strong influence on the leftfield disco / electro genre. With its ultra funky bassline and vocoder bits laid out in a haunting synth melody. With Marzio we have arrived in Italy. Marzio Dance was the DJ at Disco Xenon, a club in Florence. Behind "Kiss Me" hide the belgian guys from Rofo. Stereo was a french electro pop Duo and Time was a Italian Italo-Disco Project like Brain, Charlie & Kano. Kano was better known by the voice of Glen White - but here's an instrumental track with a typical italo-disco style. Glen White wrote the lyrics on Time's "Can not You Feel It". Motion was an italian-canadian project with Johnny Dorazio,so known as a member of Nightlife Unlimited or Ladies Choice. Glenn (Produced by Kurt Hauenstein (founder of the disco-rock merger project Supermax) and it's a strange german / austrian dark-disco track only with vocoder.
