Ganymed was an Austrian band formed in Vienna in the late 1970s. Known for their flamboyant stage presence and science fiction-inspired aesthetics, they quickly gained popularity across Europe with hits like "It Takes Me Higher." Their unique fusion of disco rhythms with progressive rock elements set them apart from contemporaries. Ganymed's influence can be traced through later developments in synthpop and Eurodisco genres.

The 2CD expanded Bellaphon edition (in jewel case, with bonuses and well sounded) of the two first albums (1978/1979) from the Austrian space disco giants very popular in 70es. A fantastic gift for an old friend!
