"Always in great demand this french disco LP includes many electro cosmic bombs like"Safari Rock II", "Crystal n°3", "Baby Moon"), the crazy tune "Cyprus", with huge hip-hop breaks at the intro or straight boogie disco oriented "It's America"! In perfect condition."
"The music on this album is in the same vein as Space, French early synthesizer disco, especially popular in France and Canada early and mid seventies. All titles are exquisite early Disco tracks, sometimes with Rock influences and strange space sounds. Great production!"

Theres no info on them.The records were released by the French Disques Ibach (http://www.discogs.com/label/Disques+Ibach and http://www.encyclopedisque.fr/recherche.html?rd=&m=0&a=&l=18) which was a disco label in the 70's lead by Humbert Ibach.Originally i thought that Moon Birds was the band of Roger Davy,but he is not on the first album.There are only two musicians on both releases: Gilbert Chemouny (Copperman) and H. Goldera (Humbert Ibach ”Goldera").It seems that all contributors used pseudonyms.According to some sources H.Goldera is not Humbert Ibach ”Goldera",but pseud.of Claude Morgan Goldera.The question is perhaps Humbert Ibach=Claude Morgan Goldera? As for Gilbert Chemouny:a source added that Copperman is Gilbert Chemouny actually.All right,but if it is true,why are Copperman/Chemouny as the song writers on track 08,11 on the first album??? Is perhaps Roger Davy also a pseudonym?Anyway someone released some albums under the name "Roger Davy" in the 70's.See below.So i have only questions so far,i hope some of you can solve the mystery.The fact is that the musicians appeared individually or together on many disco releases on the 70's by Disque Ibach.

The credits here is almost exactly the same as on Moon Bird's 1978 album,except Wickfields (alias Mathias Camison) who had written several songs for Moon Birds first album (he is not on the second one).G. Shessi is another who also wrote a song for Moon Birds first album.
"Gypsy Boy is my favorite song of the album, almost high energy disco with an excellent female vocal.. The Disco Banjo Medley is quiet good , with a distinct Southern flavor to it. The rest of the songs are uptempo disco as well. The album title is spelled "Gipsy Boy" on the cover.On the back cover it lists (A Cerrone Production)."

A great synth album,but a bit different from Moon Bird's style.It is ambient with less disco elements.
Albert Assayag (http://www.encyclopedisque.fr/artiste/11876.html) also contributed on the second Moon Birds album as a song writer.His pseudonym was Sam Fenering.
If you have any info about Davy and Assayag,please let me know!
If you are interested in Disque Ibach's sound,i added here three compilations :
Various - DISQUE IBACH VOL. 1 (1977)
I tried to find him on the web: one of them is a top accordianist in France, another Assayag is a dance professor also in France.This is all i know.

thanks for this great post. connected many dots for me. i have a record O'HARA "Touch Me Baby" and its very cool and now i know why.
also another LP to mention is THE EVIDENCE which is some of the same producers and tracks.
Hello Dream Chimney,
May I ask you to share "THE EVIDENCE "?
I have searched for it for a long time without any luck.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers.
Hi dream chimney thanks for your comment and yes please for The Evidence album if you have!!!
greetings
salty
the link is dead to ENERGY-MC1. please i need this album !
blokoko-experience@live.fr
I feel all giddy and a little light-headed: all three Disque Ibach compilations at 320 bitrate, why the comments section is not filled with high praise and offerings to the gods is beyond me (and thats just for the compilations alone, I already have the two Moon Birds albums but if I didn't and I saw them both posted here along with the Ibach compilations, I think I would have been rushed to hospital suffering from a heart condition!)
It seems every time I stumble across another seventies 12 & 7 Inch from Disques Ibach, I get more and more covinced they were time travelling prankster musicians from the 22nd Century scrambling the code of linear progression by releasing such futuristic music that only now is really been appreciated..same with the French library labels Telemusic & Montparnasse and the record label Malligator, the releases are jaw-dropping in their cosmic dimensions.
Thanks once more for making my day with these amazing releases!
Hello,
I just stumbled upon your blog and I'm amazed at everything there is to listen here! The research is thorough and deep! But I arrive a little late I'm afraid; is there any way you could repost the Disques Ibach Vol 1 & 3 compilations, or send them over to seinsnorre@gmail.com ? Links are dead.
I would be forever grateful.
