Venus Gang was another creation of French superstar genius producer/composer Jean-Pierre Massiera, who was affiliated with Cosmic Hearse favorites, Rockets. For three decades Massiera masterminded a number of brilliant conceptual musical entities with a fondness for schlock sci fi and funky beats. Venus Gang was Massiera's attempt throw his beret into the ring of disco. Galactic Soul was Venus Gang's only album, but a number of minor hit singles ensued. Play this at your next future-of-the-seventies coke party and watch silver space panties hit the dance floor.

I can dig a mutant Donna Summers too
Great album, thanks for sharing. 1978 must have been a great year for disco in France, seeing how Black Devil - Disco Club was released the same year. If you have not heard it, it is highly recommended. If "melancholic" is a term that can be combined with "disco", Black Devil nails it.
Black Devil was amazing, ABW, France was pretty amazing in the '70s. I plan to post that record here eventually

Makes Kano sound pedestrian- The Disco Mondo Cane theme takes the cake
Pretty great
I'm so glad those creatures from the Omega man finally made something of their lives.
I like disco, it gets a bad rap for a lot of good reasons, but there's some pretty funky shite in there too.
Have you ever checked out Fantasmi Macchina? That dude goes crazy over this kinda stuff.
