One of the brightest and most original performers of electronic music is the French band Space. The style in which all the compositions of this group are written is called synthpop. The group was formed in France in 1977.
The names of its founders are Didier Morouani, Yannick Top and Rolland Romanelli. By that time, Moruani was already a well-known performer and composer, and it was he who became the ideologist of the creation of the group. The main importance was attached to a fantastic sound, so the main part was performed on a synthesizer, using its unusual variants, for example, the keyboard. In order to enhance the effect of their space electronic compositions, the musicians staged a laser show at concerts and even performed in spacesuits.
Space is a musical phenomenon
Their first album "Magic Fly" was a resounding success, becoming "number one" in the charts of Europe and America. An interesting fact - Didier Marouani worked on recording his compositions in the studio alone, performing the parts of all musical instruments. The second album of the Space group comes out literally a year after
the first one called "Deliverance" ("Liberation"). For his recordthe famous drummer Ray Cooper, who works with Elton John, is involved. This album is also waiting for a huge success and worldwide recognition of Moruani's composing talent. After the release of the third album "Just blue", the group "Space" arranges a tour of Europe. Musicians collect entire stadiums for their concerts. A resounding commercial success accompanies the group everywhere, but it also leads to controversy. As a result, Didier Morouani leaves the group. "Space" is trying to continue its activities without him, but the music written by Rolland Romanelli, although sustained within the genre, is still different from the previous compositions that won the hearts of listeners. In 1981, the Space group finally ceased to exist.
Rebirth of the band
Didier Morouani led a very successful solo career. His best albums of this period are "Paris-France-Transit" and "Space Opera". To record "Space Opera" - the first electronic space opera - Moruani used the choir of the Soviet Army and the choir of Harvard University. In 1990, after going through a legal battle,
Didier Morouani got the right to the name "Space". Since that time, the group begins a second life. The music of the Space group, as before, has a fantastic sound. Moruani experiments with light and laser effects. An integral part of the concerts are visual compositions - giant projections of images, fireworks and, as always, lasers. It combines the sound of electronic instruments and a symphony orchestra. In the recording of the album"Symphonic Space Dream" is attended by the St. Petersburg Symphony Orchestra. The fate of the former member of the Space group and its second composer, Roland Romanelli, also turned out well. Romanelli worked for some time with Jean-Michel Jarre. In addition, he continued to compose space music, recorded several solo albums in this genre. Romanelli successfully collaborated with Celine Dion. He is currently known as a film composer. One of Romanelli's most notable works is the music for the film Asterix and Obelix vs. Caesar.
