Space Age Clock
'Space Age Love Song' is a 1982 single released by the British band A Flock of Seagulls. It was their fourth single. Lead guitarist Paul Reynolds remarked on their 1984 video album 'Through the Looking Glass' that, as the band couldn't come up with a title for the track, he suggested 'Space Age Love Song' because he thought it sounded like a space age love song.
Space Age Fuel
In 2018, a re-recorded version of the song, featuring the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, was released as a 5-track and 8-track special edition EP. It is the first single featured on the band's sixth album, Ascension.[2]
