Stellar Tunnel (1985 full cassette) by Steve Brenner & Peter Gulch

[@stevenbrenner6515]

Thanks for the nice comments ! Steve Brenner

[@someodyssey]

Thank you for the amazing work! Is there any way to contact you? I would love to be able to sample parts of this piece with your permission

[@SpicyInvalid]

Hello Steve, to my best knowledge I am hearing Stellar Tunnel for the first time and by chance due to youtubes algorithm stranglehold over me. Your music has a soft breeze feel to it that gives me a healthy resolve to complete my objectives today with unstoppable finesse. The ambiance has a shine that echoes down the stellar tunnel of my ear canal. Thank you for remebering to record this work a year before a body with ear canals to enjoy it. Also, I was wondering if you might like to take a listen to some of my music. It is not as old or consistently beautiful as this, but I think that it does have moments to own and redeem. It ironically has never been released on cassette, but it is titled as though it were: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fn3Xl5p9g5aArrssi=c-ohGqGh64kXLeMe

[@Adi_Bossanac]

Why are there Yahudi, Kabbalist/Zionist Satanist Freemason stars and stuff in the art work? Thanks for the music.

I was looking for a copy of this for a long time. Thank you for uploading this!

[@philershadi6037]

So much great techno came out of Germany that KZbin needs a music history museum for it. Thank you for stepping forward.

[@jerryshelton7406]

Techno? lol

[@guillermosobrevilla8614]

This is Not Techno !!! This is the Past Future ….

[@joeleastman5371]

It's Berlin school.

[@SYNKMUSIK]

Awesome comment Steve Brenner

[@lego5745]

Not techno but Berlin-School music

[@giordanobruno8325]

I think this is both a labour of love and a fine Berlin-school composition - well done and colourful. The neatly executed imaginative drawing that adornes the cassette's cover is also worth mentioning. Such music which is certaily more than a historical document deserves a reissue. Anyway, thank you for uploading it. All the best.

[@alessandromarchesini9039]

E dire semplicemente che e' un buon "frutto" della tradizione cosmica tedesca inaugurata dai Tangerine Dream? Era necessaria questa massa prolissa di luoghi comuni ridicoli che evidenziano il nulla cosmico che e' in te? 😂😂😂

[@ramseydoon8277]

It would make fantastic blotter art!

[@giordanobruno8325]

Thank you so much. I'll get this wonderful work at once.

[@mountainkingelectronics]

​@stevebrenner9538I absolutely love this album, will definitely check out the remastered version, though I love the somewhat muted tone of this upload. Thank you for making amazing music that is all these years later still finding new fans, like myself.

I love modern synth, but this is seriously up there with Klaus Shulze for stunning true lowfi synth art with a quality we have lost over the years. I am absolutely impressed and I'll be listening to this one for a long time.

[@Jake-Balibari]

The wow & flutter effects + dropouts adds deepness in the soundtrack. When I was young, we were fighting against these problems, were hoping digital come soon. And now, this old sound have so much charm. Just bought it on BC

[@SYNKMUSIK]

Thanks nothing like tape if you zone out the hiss, Dobly ?

[@SundaeBurns]

Reminds me of my dad, he would have been 61 now, wish i could still nerd out on music with him. I remember him telling us how he was so excited trading in all his records and tapes for CDs, embracing this new era of digital recording technology and once i became a teenager getting mildly upset at him for getting rid of his vast collection of music on vinyl and cassette. I was born in 1990 and have very fond memories of being a young child recording songs off the radio, basically making grade school mixtapes haha. Really awesome now that I look back on it from the digital future.

[@stevenbrenner6515]

Awesome to have the wonderful memories ! Steve B

[@Jake-Balibari]

@@SYNKMUSIK yes, dolby c when recording, and no dolby for playback. That's my way of operating. You keep high frequency and reduce the noise

Thanks for posting this and introducing me to Steve Brenner's music. His Nacht Musick and Signals albums have been on repeat the last few days!!

[@M7GUASTELLA]

Really gratifying coming across such a fresh one as I was intensely digging material on similar veins - it just happens after a night without sleep only for the music. It's winter where I live now, then I think this matches 100% this cassette atmosphere. It'll get even better for next time it rains at the same time... ah well I just knew Vernal Equinox, before. And this original oldschool, unpretentious, Mighty art... Absolute belter release

[@allovematters]

Kitchener Ontario caught my eye, been there! Grew up in Etobicoke, my dads business in Richmond Hill and spent as much as i could of a half of every year up in Northern Ontario, near Haliburton. Ripleys believe it or not, now 2600 miles apart in Northern California. Similar to California, Toronto and surrounding areas, a magical wellspring of original and innovative music that shaped my life. This stellar sound reminds of laying in the water at the lake late at night watching the aurora borealis dancing above me and sweeping across me in the still dark reflecting waters 🌬️✨

[@SYNKMUSIK]

Northern Ontario is beautiful ! Was out in Eastern Canada this summer , amazing !

[@billmcanally7782]

no offence intended, but Haliburton is southern Ontario, anything below Algonquin Park is southern Ontario...do like your comment, though!

[@Fuchsfein]

[@MrCaZzzle]

Way ahead of its time! It sounds newer than 1985.

[@iamyourfuture808]

Do you think so? TG and the likes were doing this 10 years before this came out

[@MrCaZzzle]

@@iamyourfuture808 I was born in 1985 so my frame of reference is of course more limited than someone who was around and in the know then. I can only compare it to all other 80s electronic I've heard so far. To me it sounds fresh and more like early 90s experimental ambient and such.

[@MaximusNYC]

Quite a bit of this stuff was around in the '80s. It just wasn't super mainstream. Many U.S. public radio stations used to carry a show called "Music From The Hearts Of Space" at that time, which played music like this. As a weird teenager who was into this stuff, I taped a lot of it off the air on my boombox.

[@jamesmicucci7028]

@@MaximusNYC Hosted by John DiLiberto...an awesome radio show that I started hearing around 1996 or 1997. I taped a few shows myself. One of my favorites is a live performance that John hosted featuring Gandalf (big Gandalf fan here, he's a solo artist, not a group....).

[@Seedling132]

I honestly don't think it's older than 2023. There is nothing online whatsoever about anyone named Steve Brenner producing music except for these albums posted on discogs, Bandcamp and RYM with no reviews, no other copies, no older uploads, no comments. The oldest third party interaction I can find with any of this is Feb 2024. I've loved musica obscura for a long time. Anyone making music like this since the 80s would have rare tapes, niche blog posts, a bizarre, scattered and mysterious microcosm of information about them. There's nothing around this whatsoever. I smell an alias. Well constructed but I don't believe this is authentic.

[@mikeparsons140]

Stellar indeed! I missed this at the time....Where was I ??

[@10amSanta]
