Laurie Marshall is a disco artist from Canada whose act is quite unique with the 1977 song, “The Disco Spaceship” – produced by Ralph Murphy. It is pure camp as Laurie performs the track in a funky-galactic-drag outline. Complete with a powdered white wig and alien makeup. It is the formula where the track is as outrageous as the performer. It works in the deepest sense of disco-camp and confirms again how the 70’s obsession with space and the universe played a fantasy in many ways including in this type of dance track. The simple keyboard tracks are played out in an arrangement which only allows the song to bring an interesting connection between spaceships and dance floors.
I have taken the 45 rpm version of “The Disco Spaceship” and landed a new version for this ReStructure Mix. More layering of the keyboard tracks make new layers of galactic disco for this disco candy treat.
