It's remarkable that you find these hidden gems.

Gigantisch.

holy shit this is the record my art teacher used to play during "free time" when i was in 5th grade

[@optimus163]

We were lucky to have several weekly radio shows in the metro NY C area that would feature German and other European artists of the 'Berlin School'. Programs like Synthetic Pleasure, Hearts of Space, and a few late nite DJs such as Allsion Steele would expand our minds and horizons by introducing these musicians to us. However back then they werent in the 'Berlin school' , THEY CREATED IT !!. It was artists like Bernd, David Parsons, Klaus and TD, Brooks, Rother, Jarre, Halpern, Roach, Braheny, Lundsten, Emerald Web, i mean the list goes on and on from the late 70s to early 80s.

What a fantastic list

[@spritelysprite]

I used to enjoy "New Age Images, afternoons on WRHU among other great programs around rhen

[@pierrebernasconi1010]

Definitely 1976 vibes, love it!

[@Miler97487]

Yet this was recorded in 1985, unbelievable. So many electronic artists in the 1980s were either going New Age or synth pop, this here goes back to the glory days of the Berlin School of Electronic Music!

[@Miler97487]

Hard to believe this was recorded in 1985. I was expecting something more digital sounding, more in tune with what Tangerine Dream were doing around this time like Le Parc and Underwater Sunlight. Instead, I get treated with Berlin School style in the Schulze vein from circa 1975-77 era (and a bit of classic TD as well), and if I didn't know any better, I would have thought of this as an authentic mid to late '70s recording. To think this was recorded at a time when synth pop and hair metal dominated the airwaves (at least here in America where I live), I am totally blown away!

People didnt all ditch their old studios in the 80’s all of a sudden 😅

[@Frustratedartist2]

America is not the world

[@Miler97487]

I know America isn't the world, I just happen to live here, and I remembered the 1980s really well, and it was impossible to escape synth pop and hair metal in the mid 1980s where I live. It might be a bit different in other parts of the world (I know synth pop was big in the UK given many of those type of artists were from there) but I know Berlin School of Electronic Music as it was in the mid 1970s wasn't common in the mid 1980s and not so popular and was definitely in decline by then. The German group YOU were still doing this type of music in the 1980s, and they were still using sequencers and Mellotrons even in 1986 (Laserscape blew me away and totally blows Underwater Sunlight out of the water).

@@Miler97487 you've convinced me 👍

[@carbonbased5041]

@@Miler97487 I live in Europe and I can remember the very same process here in the 80s here. After a decade of enjoying better and better music, there came many years of starvation. Synth pop filled up the air (It actually started from here). No disrespect, there were some good bands around, but after Stratosfear, Encore, Dig it, or the great prog rock albums like Tarkus, these were only instant food after fresh. TD hase become forgettable, and there were only a few artists to keep on - KS for one. Thanks for this one.

Pure cosmis music! I love it…❤

[@francoisgrapard876]

First release from this now well-known Berlin School synthesist,. Influenced by Klaus Schulze at the beginning of his carreer, soon found his own voice, Bernd released some 29 albums. Music from Outer Space has been reissued on CD in 1999. Thanks for sharing that one SOTD.

[@brightmooninthenight2111]

I was just on Spotify listening to the album alpha centauri by tangerine dream, and looking up Wikipedia on the star system while listening and it just ended and go on youtube and this is the first thing I see, streaming live, to a channel I'm already subscribed to, so it's not algorithm, it's synchronicity, never fails to amaze me

[@gheorgheivascu1830]

O MUZICĂ TRANSCEDENTALĂ UNICĂ PRIN FARMECUL EI EXCEDENTIN, CU RIGUROZITATE TEMATICĂ UNICĂ ÎN FELUL EI... CONSERVAREA UNIVERSALĂ ESTE MOTIVUL ACESTUI ALBUM MUZICAL EXCEPȚIONAL!!!

S.O.S Soundtrack of Space

An exellent premiere at KZbin, this in truly something, cosmic sounds straight to deep inner space...:)

[@gnuPirate]

I'm just not one of those people who uses the vastly overused word "epic" at every little bloody thing, but how many other words can suitably describe this amazing journey? Maybe several others, but this is what comes to my tired brain through present laziness.

[@kurttoogs1378]

Amazingly tranquil🎉vivid imagination. I want this playing as I witness the eclipse next year.

[@SchnellVITALVINYLVLOG]

So Good

[@powerplantplanetuniverse5945]

Amazing stuff from the eighties Berlin School Adept that became a master finally! Klaus just started it...the godfather. Many were getting influenced,some really nailed it. He was a great talent! Happy to find it here as a fan of BS!🎉😂🫂😊

[@klausdreams4275]

Oh my goodness, the last five minutes were the best of these recordings. Curiously, this is exactly the fragment in which I found Bernd Kistenmacher's sound most personal, stylistically and compositionally, furthest from his teacher Klaus Schulze. Everything else was very influenced by Schulze, with good quality, but with a Kistenmacher that still seems new and too cloned from Schulze. Greetings from Spain!

[@vendingdudes]

Man this opening five minutes has Synergy "Cords" vibes all over it

[@aeh5159]

Interesting ❤😊

[@enzogalli5506]

Excellent!!!

[@MegaCirse]

I partially listened to this song earlier, suddenly realizing that i forgot to buy bacon for my girlfriend favorite omlette. So I went back there immediately 🔊🎵

[@cosmicodespertare999]
