The Intergalactic Orchestra - Star Probe Navigator (1979)

Daniel Boone, aka The Warlord, in his Space Rock period.

At last, the whole album will be very soon in the radio database. Thank you Javier.

The Garnets - Chopin-Chopin (1979)

“Chopin. Chopin. Chopin-pin-pin.” (sigh)

Michela Miti - Aria Di Festa (1982)

For sure it’s no great shakes, but, step by step, the number of singing 70s/80s Italian erotic models collected in those pages grows.

Patrizia Pellegrino - Musica Spaziale (1982)

Everything in this record will speak to the heart of Space Disco enthusiasts. It’s just far too short: three and a half minutes only!

Thanks to the unknown contributor who has recently added the Automaticamore track to the radio database: it’s so much appreciated…

Вова Синий И Братья По Разуму - Молодость Моя (1985)

Friendly advice: copy the name of the band and google it. Those Russian vaults are full of wonderful treasures.

Eclipse Line - [Unknown] (1987?)

Is it genuine? Is it a fake? Even if I’m personally sceptical about the claims, it’s a pure cosmic rocket anyway. Here’s what the man who kindly gave me a copy knows about it (the full track is in the link below):

Eclipse Line are reportedly a well-forgotten Soviet electronic band from Murmansk.

Little is known about them except that they enjoyed moderate success in their provincial Northern town circa 1987.

A handful of tracks remain the only evidence of the band’s existence. Recorded on a reel-to-reel, the only surviving Eclipse Line album was recently discovered by a music enthusiast and posted on a Russian rare tapes blog:

http://www.say2day.ru/content/nezagranitsa (the post is in Russian only)

The found tape was marked ‘Eclipse Line-87′, no track names or credits. The blogger, whose father owned the tape, named the tracks ‘Disarmament’, ‘Electric Lights’ etc, grabbing random words from his mid-80’s childhood to match the mood. The record has been mastered digitally from a tape - if you listen to it carefully you might notice ‘floating’ bpm which indicates the track can hardly have been recorded on a PC…

Best,

Andrey

A French take on the Italo sound from 1983: “Funky! Disco! Whisky! Coca! Folie!”
