Cosmic Club
Why isn't there a mention of the Cosmic Club in Italy, from which Cosmic disco sound was established or perhaps others before 1977? —Preceding unsigned comment added by djbrokenwindow (talk • contribs) 02:36, 10 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Answer:
 * According to RAI's "Discoring" (A TV show, started on february 1977), the music style you mention, appeared around 1979 and it was called "Rock Electronico". This same term also used until 1984 for the so called italian produced "Italo-Disco" hits.
 * The Italian "Rock Electronico" music style, has no relation with Space Disco but it was one of the roots of the Spacesynth music style.
 * Some Italian produced Remixes of well known eurodisco hits, are mentioned on the article.


 * Those "perhaps" some Italians spread all the time over the internet, sometime must be stopped. They were good "tales" back in the mid 90s boards (iventy italochat,ect), but they are far from truth. The archives from ZDF's DISCO, NDR's Musikladen, Holland's TOPPOP, Italy's Discoring and even BBC's TOP of the POPS, do exist today and we have plenty recorded material between 1971 to 1984 to point the historic true of those music styles. Even Rete4 airs the late 80s archives on a regular basis with plenty suprises there... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.38.195.250 (talk • contribs) 12:28, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Meco recognition
Meco was one of the first artists of this genre and with a US #1 hit in October of 1977, I find the article not presenting this act more prominently deficient. __meco (talk) 12:35, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Sources increasingly required
I've been chipping away at this article, first in the lead paragraph and then today in the etymology section, but it still needs a lot of work. There is quite a bit of "original research" here, material rife with speculation and not attributed to any source. The whole paragraph on P-Funk, for example, is one person's conjecture. Other details, like naming Space and Cerrone as the first space disco artists rather than among the first, (and I'm not convinced Cerrone's "Supernature" is really space disco) are likewise pure hypothesis. And the list of space disco hits has a few questionable entries, some of which don't seem to have science fiction themes at all.

I'll continue to try to seek sources for material and will contribute and rework or remove speculation as I find the time, but I would appreciate any help here. Please use ref tags, citation templates, and actual published sources for anything you add. I realize it's hard to find sources sometimes, but at least try. If you have access (e.g. through a university library) to media databases like Lexis-Nexis, ProQuest, or even just Google News and Google Books, you can often find a lot of good sources. Thanks for any help here. —mjb (talk) 02:00, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Ganymed
Someone really wants "It Takes Me Higher" by Ganymed to be in the list of hits. I don't think it belongs. Ganymed performed in space costumes, and about half their repertoire is indeed space-themed, so I'd call them a space disco band in general, but their lyrically, their hit singles weren't space-themed at all. So that's why I've been removing that one from the list. —mjb (talk) 00:47, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Let's Groove
I might be terribly wrong here, but what on earth (no pun intended) does "Let's Groove" by Earth Wind & Fire have to do with Space Disco?! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:6C:CE68:90F4:E50E:10F7:4C2B:9087 (talk) 23:53, 27 April 2018 (UTC)
