Space

Space, formally Didier Marouani & Space, are a French electronic music band from the city of Marseille active from 1977 through 1980 and returning with on-stage remake performances since 1992. They are considered as one of the most notable artists of the short lived space disco music scene, and early pioneers of Eurodance electronica subgenre.

Space was founded in 1977 by Didier Marouani (also known as Ecama), Roland Romanelli, and Jannick Top. The first three albums - Magic Fly, Deliverance and Just Blue - were an immediate success (they sold over 12 million records all over the world).

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.

Although Didier Marouani left the band in 1979 and the band officially split up in 1981, the name "spAce" was legally re-acquired after some artistic copyright disputes around 1990, allowing musicians to re-release classic albums and give a European live cover tour in 1993 the other two members Roland Romanelli and Jannick Top released in 1980 the album Deeper Zone under the name of Space.
