Released in 1977, the B-side of Space‘s 7″ hit single “Magic Fly,” (sampled in works by Minimalistix, De La Soul and Talib Kweli) is the classic, electronic love song, “Ballad for Space Lovers” (via Disques Vogue). The French electronic duo of Didier Marouani and Roland Romanelli hailed from the city of Marseille and were in commission for no more than 3 years or so. Despite their short-lived relationship, “Ballad for Space Lovers,” is an exquisite balance of deeply emotional, analog romance and space disco. It’ll take you to the moon and back.
