Robot Rock du Jour: Kébekélektrik – Journey Into Love/Magic Fly (1977)
Renditions of this killer track keep popping up. What is really strange, however, is that multiple bands released the same track in the same year.
Kébekélektrik (aka Gino Soccio) released Journey Into Love in 1977 on Les Disques Direction Records from Montreal. The track, re-released as Magic Fly later that year, is nearly identical to Space’s Magic Fly, but with a slightly different production feel.
SCHEMATIC: Record scans, photos and YET ANOTHER VERSION…

Robot Rock du Jour: ‘Lectric Funk – Shangaied (1979)
Man, have I ever been there?! There is a ubiquitous sample in this track at 1:53 followed by a pretty sick instrumental jam. I can see why Johnny Jewel (Italians Do It Better) moved here to Montreal: This is how chicks dress here. Thank you American Apparel.2
