Novaspace

Novaspace is a German Eurotrance project which between 2002 and 2004 has covered several '80s hits such as "Time After Time", "Guardian Angel" and "Beds Are Burning". They have reached the Top-20 in Germany, Austria as well as in Australia.

Novaspace which originated in 2002 by producer Felix Gauderin was first fronted by Jessica Böhrs (singer) who was later replaced by Jenny Marsala.

Jenny Marsala

In 2008, Jenny Marsala joined Novaspace replacing Jessica Böhrs. The first single "Dancing Into Danger" was released early January 2009. This song is available on Novaspace's Myspace page. Also available now is "2009" versions of "Run To You", "Dancing With Tears In My Eyes" and "So Lonely". It is unsure if these will be released on an album or single but roumours have started about a third album entitled "Next Generation". The second single "Time After Time Rebirth", was released on 22 May, 2009.

Jessica Böhrs

Main article: Jessica Böhrs

Jessica Böhrs was born on March 5, 1980 in Magdeburg. Böhrs started her filming career in 1993 at the age of just 13. She played in many German TV-films including Die Wagenfelds and the famous German soap opera Marienhof in which she played the role of Melanie Neuhaus. She became the front-woman of the techno project Novaspace in 2002 but left in 2006. In 2004, Böhrs starred in a movie Eurotrip released by DreamWorks.

Supernova

In 2002, Jessica met Stuttgart's dance producer Felix Gauder and they formed Novaspace. Their first single "Time After Time" (a cover version of Cyndi Lauper's 1984 hit-single "Time After Time") released in the first half of 2002 reached number 6 on the German single chart[1]. After gaining enough success with the single at home, Novaspace also entered the Top-20 single charts in Austria (number 7) as well as in Australia (number 15)[2]. "Time After Time" charted moderately in Switzerland peaking at only number 67 and number 28 in the Netherlands[2]. Almost a year later, the single even appeared on the single chart of UK which eventually peaked at 29 [3]. Their second single "To France", a cover version of Mike Oldfield's 1984 hit single "To France" (featuring Maggie Reilly) was released not long after the first single and reached number 27 in Germany [1]and number 23 in Austria[4].They separated themselves from one-hit-wonders; however, when their third single "Guardian Angel" hit the stores in December 2002, which was a cover version of Masquerade's 1983 number 1 hit single "Guardian Angel". The single reached number 9 in Germany in January 2003 [1] and peaked at number 11 in Austria[5]. Their full length material entitled Supernova was released in January 2003. The album which comprised cover versions of hit-singles originally done earlier by numerous acts from the 1980s managed to reach number 28 at their home [1]and 39 in Austria[6]. Novaspace released one more single off their album Supernova called "Paradise" which only managed to reach number 48 in Germany and 41 in Austria.

Cubes

In 2003, Novaspace started things off with the single called "Run to You", a cover version of Bryan Adams' 1984 song "Run to You". This single from their second album entitled Cubes charted moderately peaking at number 38 both in Germany[1] and Austria[7]. The album "Cubes" which contained cover versions of earlier hit-singles originally performed by different artists reached number 27 in Germany and number 24 in Austria. The second single "Beds Are Burning" released a few months prior to the release of the album was a cover version of Midnight Oil's 1988 hit Beds Are Burning, it climbed as high as number 7 at their home[1] and peaked at number 2 in Austria but only managed to peak at number 42 in Switzerland[8]. The third single "So Lonely" entered the Top-20 single chart in Germany peaking at number 15 and number 10 in Austria, the single did quite poorly in Switzerland peaking at only number 87[9]. The fourth single "Dancing with Tears in My Eyes", a cover version of an Ultravox's hit single "Dancing with Tears in My Eyes" charted well in the home of Novaspace eventually reaching number 11 on the single chart[1] but was quite unsuccessful elsewhere charting only at number 98 in Switzerland [10].

DJ Edition

In 2006, Novaspace released their third album called DJ Edition which was a collection of their previous singles in a reworked format including one new track called "Send Me an Angel" (cover version of Real Life's hit single). The album which managed to chart only in Germany peaking at number 68 in the German album chart saw a release of only one single "All Through the Night", a redone version of a track previously featured on the album "Cubes". The single peaked at number 50 in Germany but failed to enter the charts elsewhere. The album also featured a DVD containing the videos of all the singles: "Time After Time", "To France", "Guardian Angel", "Paradise", "Run To You", "Beds Are Burning", "So Lonely" and "Dancing With Tears In My Eyes".
