Emerging from the Paris electronic music scene in the early 1970s, Silver Rockets pioneered a theatrical approach to synth-pop and electronic dance music. Originally performing under various names—Crystal, Rocket Men, and finally Rockets—the group established their signature sound under the production guidance of Claude Lemoine, who shaped their output from 1974 through 1983. Their early singles "Rocket Man" (1974) and "Future Woman" (1975) showcased their innovative use of vocoders and synthesizers, setting the stage for their debut LP *Rockets* (1976).
The group became known for their visionary live performances that integrated electronic music with cutting-edge visual technology—lasers, colored lighting, and special effects—creating an immersive multimedia experience ahead of their time. Their sophomore album *On the Road Again* (1978) expanded their international reach, receiving releases across multiple territories including the United States on the Tom n' Jerry label. Silver Rockets' blend of futuristic production, vocoder-driven vocals, and electrifying stage presence made them influential figures in the evolution of European electronic and dance music during the late 1970s.
