If you liked this, you may also enjoy "Realms of Magickal Sorrow" by Old Sorcery and other projects like that.

Is it though?! I thought the algorithim used to be much better! Now it recommends a lot of click bait crap

[@greanbeen3525]

@@patrick2935 can't agree as it brings out something really unusual from time to time. Though I should say that didn't use KZbin back then as often as these couple of years

I feel like music apps aren't designed to surprise you, just to give you more of the same. It's always "here's more stuff just like what you listen to" or "people like you also listen to these songs".

Cze!!!końcówka płyty zabija mnie!!!!!!/zajebista muza, lubię też takie klimaty😊😀😉😁

I like the one they did with crickets in the background because they recorded it in a garage, and the cricket's noises became part of the sound !

[@FromTheRoomOfLittleEase]

Crickets will chirp in time with music. Buddy Holly's three piece was recording in a garage and that happened, the crickets turned up on the tape and they liked it so they called the band "Buddy Holly and the crickets." That story is why the Beatles named themselves the BEATles... they intended to play "beat music" like the crikets.

[@therealrodhull1]

@@FromTheRoomOfLittleEase Thanks for that info! Incidentally, on Cricket Lullaby by the Nightcrawlers, the crickets do seem quite loud and clear (just as loud as the synthesizers, if not louder!) - so I cant help being a tiny bit suspicious that their volume wasn't 'enhanced' somewhat... Of course, I'm not suggesting that the crickets volume was enhanced - maybe crickets really are that loud ?! Peter Gulch says that when the music was recorded, live crickets were outside his garage, so they just left them on the recording... But would they be this loud, since they were much further away from the microphone than the synthesizers were. What is your opinion on it?

Extraordinario, I was going to listen to Chet Baker and ended up listening to this gem. Thank u lord !

[@powerplantplanetuniverse5945]

What another crazy rarity...the Nightcrawlers are a legend for very Berlin School & Ambient fan...for good reasons! They were a fantastic duo doing magic with their analogue instruments. And for 1985 this is an extraordinary recording...its made in their home studio,think all of their cassettes & vinyls are really good,but some are more advanced in the sound quality. There you can hear how they start levitating all around them,ghosh! I like them since long. Just very hard to find these albums. They were as great like Klaus Schulze indeed! Or earlier Tangerine Dream. This here is one of their BEST! Its opening doors to another reality!😂❤️‍🔥🎉😊🤪

This music is enchanting! It's a shame that it's almost impossible to find such kind of music on streaming platforms.

[@Beardqt]

Sometimes older synth has a way of being abrasive but this album has been consistently peaceful and inspirational. I genuinely admire their passion for sound.

[@subject20productions2]

I wish they would re-release all their works, all of their albums I heard so far is pure gold!✌️💚

Great band, saw them several times at the Painted Bride.

Yeah - this is great. 40 albums?! They are like an electro-Guided By Voices. I'm excited to delve.

[@TremblingBeauty]

@@thehiddendrive And that's not even counting the solo works of each member + another 13 albums under the name Xisle, which had both brothers from this trio alongside frequent collaborators Andrew Rath & Chuck Van Zyl. Crazy amount of stuff to explore!

The idea of things being "ahead of its time" is a bias originating from ageism and generational tribalism

It may be a little more of a mainstream artist, but have you heard the “Dignity of Labour” ep from the Human League? I believe it was one of their first releases. I little bit more industrial and all instrumental. Quite remarkable, actually. Cheers!

The vinyl version of this album [the one I've posted] has the side B tracks as the A side. Not sure why

[@noshejustdidnot1923]

fun stuff but not sure about "progressive" for 1985. sounds like electronic music from the 1930's to 1970's... Johanna Beyer, Herbert Elmert, Oskar Sala, Steven Halpern, Bruce Miller & Rick Miller, etc... particularly sounds 70's.

Evocative music. But is it really a clever counterfeit? Just posing as old?

[@gandolphcarter]

I wondered this too, because I thought "nightcrawlers" might be an Always Sunny reference, and they are from Philadelphia too. But there seems to be mentions of it elsewhere online going pretty far back, so I'm thinking not a counterfeit.

[@johngunthrt8064]

Most definitely not ,, these guys were active in the Philly music scene in the 80s as promoted by wxpn at Penn on various shows,, especially starsend which remains on air
