The Droids beamed down to planet Earth in the year 1978. Yves Hayat AKA Droids, was a young label manager at the seminal French disco label Barclay in the seventies. >Star Peace<, originally released in 1979 is his concept to the classic sci fi movie >Star Wars< out that year. Featuring the French space synth classic >(Do You Have) The Force<, in both parts, this LP goes from strength to strength with spaced out lullabys >Inner Space< & >Tchough Fou<, before kicking back into the groove with >Be Happy< an assault to the senses with its manic synth lines running riot over heavy funk overtones. The flip kicks off with >Shanti Dance< parts 1 & 2, sleezy robot-funk work outs that are inter-joined to make a 6 minute continually evolving piece of music. The closing eight-and-a-half- minute >Renaissance De L Amour< is a tour de force of cinematic synthscapes, bleeps, bloops and world rhythms, before dropping in the drums 6 minutes in to ignite any dancefloor. This is light years ahead of its time.
