Cuz background on shmups is still "same 'ol space", i think it's good idea to ask there.

Anyone can recommend me music in this style:

Boney M's '10000 Lightyears' album is a masterpiece. No joke

The sound isn't nearly as kitschy as what you posted but I think Lindstrom does the space disco thing quite well:

P.S.
I always thought the best Star Wars theme cover was done by Isao Tomita:

Hmm, I'd say The Alan Parsons Project sounds somewhat like that, give it a try.

Give Michael Bundt a try:

Lenny White Venusian Summer (takes a while to funk out):

Herbie Hancock, Heartbeat from the album Manchild:

Also, Patrick Gleeson (ex Mwandishi) did an excellent all synth Star Wars album - can't find any link to it though.
I guess I'm getting carried away with my space jazz obsession.

Basically anything funky with an Arp Solina String machine on it sounds spacey to me.
Tangerine Dream... Goblin... Funkadelic(?)

Manchild is an amazing album. Mr. Hands is also underappreciated!
