"Space Concept" by The Atoms is a concept album created in the late 1970s. This is a collection of cover versions of famous songs with space and future themes, all arranged with a synthesizer-driven sound. Iconic songs from the era, such as the film score "Star Wars," "Space Oddity," "Rocket Man," "Oxygène," and "Telstar," are brought together under a unified worldview.
While preserving the charm of the original songs, the tracks are transformed into more image-oriented sounds by emphasizing repetitive rhythms and the texture of electronic sounds. The arrangement, which encourages enjoyment of the "atmosphere" and "space" rather than the songs themselves, aligns with the context of library music and special compilation albums. This album, with its cohesive feel and editorial sensibility made possible by it being a cover album, offers a pleasant taste of late 70s cosmic sensibility.
