An obscure (space) disco track i recently discovered is:
Stereo - Somewhere In The Night, it's from France, it's Italo-sounding and i think it's really great !!.
YouTube - Stereo - Somewhere In The Night (Italo-Disco 1982).
Heard this one on the CBS (Cybernetic Broadcasting System) webstream which i recently discovered, they only play electronic (disco) music.
On weekdays they play a lot of ambient and obscure stuff but from thursday till sunday it's electronic/italo/space disco all the way !.

From Wikipedia:

The term "Space Disco" was inspired by Space, a French electronic music band created in 1977 by Didier Marouani (also known as Ecama). Space's hit "Magic Fly" (1977) and Cerrone's hit "Supernature" started this genre.

Space Disco was a short-lived, 1970s variation of Euro disco. Space Disco capitalized on the media hype that surrounded the original Star Wars film and the first use of laser beams as lighting effects in late-1970s discothèques. Space Disco artists, when performing, dressed in a manner inspired by Glam rock looks as well as "alien"-like suits, similar to those seen on the 1970s Buck Rogers TV series, the original Star Trek, Space 1999 and Battlestar Galactica.

Space Disco sounded very close to the USA's Hi-NRG disco. The differences between them was artistic, with much less use of vocals, and the fact that Space Disco wasn't sexually oriented. It was more of a sci-fi thing, the "dancefloor soundtrack of the space age". In the USA and Latin America, Space Disco was called Hi-NRG Disco or, simply, Disco. In the UK, it was called either Euro disco or simply disco.

Space Disco was very popular in France and parts of Germany in 1977–1979 and it had a presence in Canada because of the French-speaking population. There are many Italo-Disco hits that have sci-fi themes and sound effects that were previously used in Space Disco. Space Disco became the main influence and inspiration for the 1990s French house scene, the last of the Euro disco music styles.
