After 2 weeks of listening to nothing but 80s synth cassettes, I can safely say THIS ONE. Listen to this one. Really truly top of the whole game right here.
@@patrick2935 can't agree as it brings out something really unusual from time to time. Though I should say that didn't use RUclips 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".
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.
@@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?
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.
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!😂❤️🔥🎉😊🤪
beautifully hypnotic. projects such as this really demonstrate how much emotion can be channeled through minimal composition. big fan of the space themes, as well. cheers.
great sound, thank you for up-load! a little confusing at first, up-loading from originally 1985 vinyl, but displaying cover of 1987 cassette...figured it out!
Oh nice, this is cool. Love hearing old rare tapes. Would of loved to see them live in the day that acid-y bass mixed with vangellis-y synth lines is really lush. Added these to mine and my partners list of things to vibe to🤗💜🙌🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️😜🫂😋
this was awesome! thanks for sharing it. i had never heard of this band before! if anyone wants something in a slightly similar vein, i recommend PANCHROMA by WATERWHEEL. hypnotic and low-fi just like this!! you can find the whole album on YT as well.
This is remarkable and has sent me down a rabbit hole in search of more information on this band. So ahead of its time in different aspects, thanks for the share.
@@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!
@@TremblingBeauty Yeah so much creativity revolving around this one trio, I found the chuck van zyl while looking up their synkronos label. Such a gem that keeps showing new facets.
Just discovering your channel (and subscribed). I want to thank you about what you do, to make people to rediscover the early synth scene. (I bought my 1st synth and began to record my work in these times...) 👍

The problem with tape is storage + giveaways ! Every composition I did that went on cassette from the mid Eighties- early 2000’s,either disappeared or was given away.. The remaining ones where eaten buy mid old decrepid tape player double deck with Fast dubbing 😂
🐱The time of my childhood, when musical caballah began, the time🎶 when I had it for the first time, whistled in my ears.. The time of such bands as Space, Zodiac and Secret Service.Then science fiction and disco are fascinating, and euphoria reached the stars💎
I really thought the Biophonic Boombox Recordings were going to lead to a slew of Nightcrawlers rereleases. Unfortunately not. Just a magnificent group.

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!
Just gave it a first listen - very much enjoyed it! I've always liked industrial synth stuff but have rarely found anything that scratches the itch quite like this does. Thanks for the recommendation :)
This upload is the vinyl LP version which has Spacewalk as the B side as opposed to the cassette version which is the opposite way around. I just chose the cassette artwork because it's prettier :)
Unfortunately not - the only Nightcrawlers release on BC is a compilation of songs from various releases of theirs called The Biophonic Boombox Recordings: thenightcrawlerspa.bandcamp.com/album/the-biophonic-boombox-recordings
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.
You know it’s gonna slap when the album art looks like a sales receipt from Mars
S tier comment
and yet the early Mac style spacecraft on the cover is still more believable than the US going to the moon in 1969.

Since when RUclips is better at recommending music than my music app with subscription
If you liked this, you may also enjoy "Realms of Magickal Sorrow" by Old Sorcery and other projects like that.
RUclips been killing it lately 😂
Is it though?! I thought the algorithim used to be much better! Now it recommends a lot of click bait crap

Working with Peter Gulch recording Stellar Tunnel and Kolab was truly a highlight in my musical sound journey.
I love it when I stumble upon a new genre I really like! Even better when its like 50 years old so there's so much stuff to listen through.
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 !

Very stylish, throughout. VERY ahead of their time.
The idea of things being "ahead of its time" is a bias originating from ageism and generational tribalism
I didn't know I needed this
i could have bought a physical copy listening to it and zone out to the deceptively simple artwork///we dont get that so mmuch now.

A November evening
The final five minutes seem oddly familiar, like something heard on a Netflix show or something. Weird. 🤔
presumably different Nightcrawlers to 'push the feeling' etc
damn electyronic music before computeres even existed
real and true!
Really cool record
but it looks like side B is playing before side A
This upload is the vinyl LP version which has Spacewalk as the B side as opposed to the cassette version which is the opposite way around. I just chose the cassette artwork because it's prettier :)
I would like to buy this album. Is it available on bandcamp ?

why do you begin with Side B?
The vinyl version of this album [the one I've posted] has the side B tracks as the A side. Not sure why
Is the cover made on a C64?

Where can I find acquire this album? I'm looking everywhere but I can't find anything.
Available on discogs, not cheap though.
real shit
I won't let them stretch their necks

Очень круто звучит. Настоящая "живая" электронная музыка.

This is the same Nightcrawlers as 'Push the Feeling On' fame?
A quick Google search says no. The Nightcrawlers you are referencing are Scottish.
would be really funny if they had re-invented themselves like that 😄
I'd thought that to begin with, but once I heard it I knew it wasnt.
What if this is actually made by ai yesterday?
it's not
!!!!!!
So this is what Charlie and Frank play in bed... Damn, they have good taste.
