Biddu Orchestra - "Journey To The Sun" (1976-1977)

Artist: Biddu / Biddu Orchestra
Title: "Journey To The Sun"
Album: "Futuristic Journey"
Recorded: 1976-1977
Released: 1978
Genre: Disco / Hi-NRG / Synthpop
Label: Epic

Produced by Indian-British disco maestro Biddu (of "Kung Fu Fighting" fame) under his "Biddu Orchestra" name, the "Futuristic Journey" album was recorded between 1976 and 1977, and released in 1978. One track from it that stands out is "Journey To The Sun", which was ahead of its time, as it sounds much more like an 80s synth-pop song rather than a 70s disco song. In particular, it has a striking resemblance to the hit theme song of the 1984 movie "NeverEnding Story", with a similar fusion of electronic synthesizers and classical Indian sitars.
