Electronic System - Disco Machine (1977)



Here is a wonderful moroder-esque jam ala I Feel Love:
The A side of the 1977 "Disco Machine" LP by Electronic System (aka Dan Lacksman of Telex).

Three tracks that play together as one song...

A1
Flight To Tokyo (6:11)
A2
Cosmos Trip (5:12)
A3
Flight To Venus (5:37)

"A real electronic collectors item. Dan Lacksman was a member of the highly influential Telex band from back in the late 70's, who delivered such classics as 'Moscow Disko' a Carl Craig fave, here his very rare solo album of Moog style disco cuts gets a timely re-issue on Belgiums Archive series. 7 tracks of Giorgio Moroder basslines, lush Manuel Gottsching style strings and a hint of the old Telex funk are all on here, especially the lead cut 'Flight to Tokyo' with its uplifting 4/4 vibe and vintage emotive strings that deliver a fine taste of the LP. Also the ambient start of 'Sailing to an Unknown Planet' evokes the classic Moog period, with a deeper edge, and is a fine example of the tracks to be found. Check!!"

the guys on the photo ARE NOT Telex from Belgium. The original Telex consists of 3 members & their style was similar to Kraftwerk (suits\ties, static behavior & pixel logo of the band). These four green faggots have nothing common with the real trio. They're probably one of another 3 'Telex' bands, which were active in 80's & gathered no success.
