The Discoballs album is a slightly bizarre tribute to Pink Floyd by French group Rosebud and is very well known to the older Floyd collector. Released in 1979 on labels Warner/Epic & Flarenasch, it featured disco versions of Floyd songs performed by Claude Engel and bass player/composer - Jannick Top, members of the legendary French prog rock group Magma. Engel was also a member of the hugely popular Marseilles based electronic music band – Space.
Main theme "More" is taken from the Barbet Schroeder film ‘More’, the soundtrack to which was scored by Pink Floyd. This was not only Floyd’s first full length soundtrack but was also their first body of work without founding member - Syd Barrett . The band were given £600 and ownership to all of the material in return for their work on the project with a number of tracks from this album being featured in their live shows throughout the 1970’s.
