Universal Energy

[SandraDee]

I recently acquired a single (7" unfortunately) by this artist(s) on Pathe/Marconi records which I'd never heard before called 'Disco Energy' which blew my mind & had to have when I heard it in the shop. Does anyone have any info on Universal Energy please? (Coincidentally this track was played on this week's Story Of Disco on BBC radio 2!)

I have this 12" single by Universal Energy. It includes the tracks "Universal Energy" and "Disco Energy" on the flip. It is on EMI (Canada). I prefer "Universal Energy". It is one of those spacey disco tunes, much like "Magic Fly". I believe this type of disco was more popular in Europe and Canada. I enjoy this song in the privacy of my home. I don't the courage to play it out.

It's a coincidence that you think its like Magic Fly drpenfield, 'cos I thought that it sounded like Space if they tried to do a Rinder & Lewis track! As for only playing it in private, I used to be like that but nowadays I dont care & play my Euro-disco for all to hear; I feel better now I'm out of that disco closet! :P You must try to be proud of your disco records!

I like it, the synth solo put me in sky but the church organ solo is depressing :D . Giovanni gave me a reply in this forum when I also discovered 'Disco Energy' a few months ago. The intro (the first five seconds) looks like...'From East to West' by Voyage.

Yes, this track is realy " on the trip " - for me it always brings out that
special energy/hedonistic feeling of the era. On my Disco partys I always play this track - not in prime time but in" warm - up" !

Universal Energy also did an LP called funnily enough "Universal Energy". I too love Disco Enegy and nearly fell out of bed when I heard it during the History of Disco show on BBC Radio 2 earlier this week!
