Disco is science: Ganymed is the Jupiter's biggest moon
th band’s second album “Future World”. Ganymed’s spacy, Moroder-esque sound aged so well, that it still sounds contemporary. You can easily imagine hearing their songs in aGanymed, a bunch of freaky disco aliens from Vienna, were really something else. The band claimed to hail from Jupiter’s biggest moon Ganymed (named after a homoerotic character from Greek mythology). They used to wear strange outer-space costumes with penis-shaped noses (except for their female singer, that is), and their lyrics were usually space-themed futuristic trips. Way out, even for Austrians. In 1979 Ganymed hit the European charts with their big disco smash “It Takes Me Higher”. A true Eurodisco classic. The infectious “Dancing In A Disco” is taken from the band’s second album “Future World”. Ganymed’s spacy, Moroder-esque sound aged so well, that it still sounds contemporary. You can easily imagine hearing their songs in a hip DJ set with the latest electro and French house cuts of today. Dance, dance, dance…
