Magic Fly is the debut studio album by French band Space. It was recorded in 1976 but released in April 1977 by Disques Vogue. The album reached No. 1 in France, No. 11 on the UK Albums Chart[1] and included the hit single of the same name,[2] which reached No. 2 on the UK Singles Chart and No. 1 in Switzerland and West Germany.[1][3]
A variation of the track Carry On, Turn Me On was used in the opening ceremony of the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris as the Olympic torch was being carried along the River Seine towards the eventual lighting of the cauldron.
In 2012, writer David Buckley compared the single "Magic Fly" to Daft Punk, stating "It seems as if Daft Punk have long-lost parents after all".[5]

The 1983 USSR release features a new composition entitled "Just Blue" by Didier Marouani to replace the track "Carry On, Turn Me On" which was removed due to censorship. The track "Velvet Rape" is also renamed to Вежливое Похищение which translated is "Polite Kidnapping".[6] In 1996 the original was finally released in Russia on cassette.[7]
