Space – Deliverance(1977)

Biography
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 one of the most notable artists of the short-lived space disco music scene, and early pioneers of notable post-disco subgenres of electronica. Space was founded in 1977 by Didier Marouani (also known as Ecama),. 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, the other two members Roland Romanelli and Jannick Top released in 1980 the album Deeper Zone under the name of Space. Then Space officially split up in 1981. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_(French_band)


Album & Cover
This the second album released by the French band Space.

This album cover is about weightlessness, helplessness, and sinister forces, so says Aubrey Powell. The background was taken on location in Monument valley, while photographing another album cover for Al Stewart. The girl and the white milk were photographed in the studio and the black car/business man was taken in a London street. The combination was put together as a dye transfer print
