Rockets: Original Greatest Hits 2cd box

Ranskalainen space rock, disko ja synth -bändi.

Rockets is a French space rock band that formed in Paris in 1974 and relocated to Italy in 1978. In their most successful era (1977–1982) the line-up comprised vocalist Christian Le Bartz (1951-2025), bassist and vocalist "Little" Gérard L'Her (1952), guitarist and keyboardist Alain Maratrat (1956-2025), drummer and percussionist Alain Groetzinger (1955), and keyboardist Fabrice Quagliotti (1961). Their initial genre was rock, immediately defined by the press as 'space rock' due to the sci-fi veins in the lyrics, the electronic sounds and the stage appearance. Later it was instead associated with 'disco music' and finally 'synth-pop'.
