Herman's Rocket - Space Woman

The MASSIERA resurrection is not over! After PSYCHOSES (vol.1 and 2) and les MALEDICTUS SOUND, Mucho Gusto Records presents the complete reissues of HERMAN’S ROCKET’s SPACE WOMAN and VENUS GANG’s Galactic Soul, two classic « space disco » albums produced in 1977 and 1978. Commissioned by Italian producer Mémé Ibach (Karen Cheryl), HERMAN’S ROCKET was created in 1977 by JEAN-PIERRE MASSIERA and his half brother BERNARD TORELLI. The goal was to surf on the « space disco » trend, using sci-fi themes and inter galatic grooves. But like many MASSIERA signature production these were too much out there to hit massively. Ignored when it was released, the only HERMAN’S ROCKET album soon became a sought after masterpiece of space disco.Still connected with the cosmos, MASSIERA brings the concept back the year after with VENUS GANG on the album GALACTIC SOUL (aka SYNTHETIC SOUL). The group is comprised ofMassiera, Torelli, Patrick Barbero and singers MICKY & JOYCE. « For HERMAN’S ROCKET and VENUS GANG, the tracks were composed with mixes of delirious voices and moogs. Musicians and singers improvised totally. Afterward I added “theme” gimmicks and different mixes keeping it fresh and unplanned. » - MASSIERA
