At some point of the History before the French Touch, Prog met Electronica and Disco somewhere near Beaubourg/IRCAM in Paris, or at the Palace...
A lot of French Electronica of that time could be both tagged as Disco and Prog.

Artist: Jean-Michel Jarre
Album : Equinoxe
Year : 1978
Description: Doctor Mix explain here how Equinoxe is "Deep African House"

The label Patchwork was an experimental library for sound effects, TV/Movie shows...


Title : Stabile
Album : Modern Way
Year : 1979
Artist: Teddy Lasry
Label : Patchwork 44

Title : Progress
Album : Action
Year : 1979
Artist: Gérard Zadj & Jean-Pierre Decerf
Label : Patchwork 49

Title : Big Green Espace
Album : Accélération
Year : 1981
Artist: Jean-Pierre Decerf & Gérard Gesina
Label : Patchwork 64

Some other productions were amazing too like Black Devil Disco Club.

Album : Black Devil Disco Club
Year : 1978
Artist: Bernard Fèvre

You can find compilation of that kind of prog/disco/electronica of this area on two labels.

Born Bad Records : Space Oddities Serie

    Because : Cosmic Machines Serie

      Can someone take the best suggestions on this thread for Disco prog...and make a pretend Disco-Prog CD.  I would do it, but I am only famliar with two of the Disco-prog suggestions. Smile I think it would be a fun idea to create a disco prog album/CD like: 

      K-Tel Records and Prog Archives Presents- DISCO PROG HITS!

      Agreed, but the entire previous album (Eve) is far more disco-inflected than this song.

      Jean-Michel Jarre's hits have quite some disco feel (I see he's only "prog related" here).

      Amon Düül II took on disco influences on some of their more hated albums in the later seventies and after Shocked. I find some of these quite enjoyable.

      Hi, I'm new to this forum. I was exploring some topics an this one looked particularly interesting. Speaking of something ascribable to disco-prog there's a song which made me fall in love by the french duo Justice. I think it could fit the definition. Give it a chance.

      Magma's "Who's My Love" is another splendid example of the delightful mingling of prog and disco.

      ^ Not sure why Rain Dances was left off the recent Air Born box set (which I have) so didn't get the new mix treatment that Nude and the first 4 got. (I don't mind as I prefer Nude anyway)
