Customer Reviews

Disco with futuristic flair!
I love this CD for it's electronic,futuristic fast tempo sound especially in "WAR DANCE"!Tom Moulton did a fantastic job mixing 9 minutes of this upbeat danceable disco track."WAR DANCE" was the only song that I knew from Kebekelektrik until I purchased the CD.I was instantly drawn to "MAGIC FLY"!The 6 min version is better than the 4 min one.It's smooth,easy listening yet a dance- able track!"BOLERO" is okay and "Mirage" is better than average. If you like computeristic songs with outstanding synthesizers you will enjoy this CD(especially WAR DANCE)!!!

Early trance classic now enhanced
This instrumental disco album was first released in 1978 with Bolero (Ravel) 14 minutes, Magic Fly (Ecama) 6 minutes +, Mirage (Deserio) 6 minutes + and War Dance (Soccio/Deserio) just short of 8 minutes. It was produced by Pat Deserio with inputs by Gino Soccio, at various studios in Montreal.

Added recording and mixing was done at Sigma Sound Studios in Philadelphia. With this CD release, the album has been substantially enhanced by the addition of the 12" mix of War Dance and the four Tom Moulton remixes of the original tracks.

The record did very well on the disco charts back then. The style is a form of synth-driven hypnotic trance, not unlike Oxygene by Jean Michel Jarre, especially War Dance. Mirage is the most instrumentally varied track with distinctive guitar and infusions of jungle drums.

The original version of Magic Fly was a huge hit for the French band Magic Fly in 1977. Those into disco nostalgia, especially the electrodisco variety, will also remember Supernature by Cerrone and From Here to Eternity by Giorgio Moroder.

Best of Gino Soccio

This is not the original, but the remixed edition
I have the original 12" 45 of "Magic Fly" by Kebekelektrik. My label doesn't make any mention of this being a Tom Moulton Mix, nor was Gino Soccio listed anywhere on the credits. The June 1977 version, released in the US on the T.K. Records, was produced by Tony Green and the mix was credited to G. Cucuzzela and D. Zgarka. According to [...], Tom Moulton's remixed versions appeared one year later, released in the States on the Salsoul Records Label. (That's the version offered here.) I prefer the unadulterated, original versions, but that's my opinion -- considering the song itself was a rush-release cover of the original by a group called Space -- curiously, all versions are available at Apple's online store (except the original 12" by Magic Fly -- the single version is included, though).
