This 1979 clip from Russia is rather fun!

Just realised that nobody has posted this yet:



I know a lot of Magma fans despise Merci. But I'm not ashamed to say that I think it's pretty cool. And contrary to the press it gets, I don't think it was just an attempt to cash in. I think if you listen it's clear that Vander really gets this kind of music. He was feeling it.

Plus, Eliphas Levi is a classic - blissed out zeuhl for the ages.

Disco sucked worm-teats hugely (and no, don't try playing the 'so bad it's good' trash aesthetic card with me mateys)Ouch

However, just maybe two of the best/least wretched songs from this war-crime of a genre?

First two songs on Goblin - Squadra Antigangsters (1979) soundtrack are disco, more or less. Ok songs every once in a while. They're called The Whip (especially, it's disco) and Sound of Money (funky song).

Your clip was comparatively uncringeworthy. Almost seems like just a regular 70's guy playing piano.

I always used to hate disco with a vengeance...until a few years ago where I suddenly stumbled over a Swedish guy called Lindstrøm who was and is doing something akin to the disco take on Klaus Schulze. Space ambient you can dance to. Anyway from there on in I was sold and have found a few similar artists as well, who funnily enough also happen to reside in Scandinavia.

He has also worked together with Prins Thomas who dabbles along the same frequencies, but on this particular outing they went for something a little more Krauty. Certainly reminds me of old school electronic bands from the German scene even if you can dance to this beast:


His Norwegian counterpart, Todd Terje, released one of the finest albums of any genre back in 2014 simply named It's Album Time; an album that quite satisfyingly put all those fascist music fans to shame (y'know the ones who think modern electronic musicians can't play for sh*t and effectively only really push buttons at the right time)...nahh this man plays the keys like a regular prog rock musician although he obviously has chosen another arena altogether:

Anyone mention that Disco Floyd album - Rosebud ‘Discoballs’. Very amusing, with Zeuhl bassist Janik Top !!
And Magma had their disco moments, on their ‘Merci’ album (Do The Music, Call From The Dark......)
