Thanks for the nice comments ! Steve Brenner
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
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: czcams.com/video/HLtfgGN1MxY/video.htmlsi=c-ohGqGh64kXLeMe
Why are there Yahudi, Kabbalist/Zionist Satanist Freemason stars and stuff in the art work?
Thanks for the music.
Love - Ty McDuffey
Just smoked two joints, about to take a jog with my two German Shepherd dogs through a dirt country road in rural Kansas with this tape in my headphones
legend
This tape sounds like the dawn of 90s progressive trance! :') Fantastic!
So much great techno came out of Germany that CZcams needs a music history museum for it. Thank you for stepping forward.
Techno? lol
This is Not Techno !!! This is the Past Future ….
It's Berlin school.
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.
A friend of mine gave me a copy of an album called Vernal Equinox; also by Steve Brenner. If you dig this give that album a search. I keep finding music by this guy on CZcams and it's all fantastic.
Thanks for the nice comments! Still making new music ! Brenner
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 Such music which is certaily more than a historical document deserves a reissue.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.
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? 😂😂😂
It would make fantastic blotter art!
Thank you so much. I'll get this wonderful work at once.
@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.
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
That must be the soundtrack when you're in another dimension, a parallel universe. I'm completly hooked, unreal!
@@dirkslice4635 in other words... no need for other dimensions.
THERE IN NO P. U. ONLY YOU.
Klaus Schulze, Tangerine Dream, Hoenig. This is definitely in that tradition.
Recorded in Kitchener! Cool to see stuff like this coming from Ontario
The artwork, though crappy printed on some cheap card
On a shite computer, …as it was back then, is Fantastic.
Saving this for a rainy day for sure..
This is great. I never thought I would EVER say this. But.... thank you algorithm.
youtube algorithm, for all of its weirdness and insistence, does often flick forward genuinely interesting things, especially music. I dig it, and am grateful to be exposed to these things.
i ate a luna bar and my **** fell off
Listening to this piece just inspired a creative epiphany. Thanks so much for sharing.
I love the graphics on the tape cover!
Within 10 seconds, I subscribed to your channel from this album
This is such a inspiration and just what I needed to finish some ideas I had for a song
This is perfect for star gazing over the desert.
Sick album art
I don't know how I happened upon this. Some days the universe just likes you for some reason or another. Thanks for the upload. Wonderful wonderful wonderful 😊
You just need to use tune your youtube algorithm. I get this sort of obscure stuff in my recommended every day.
It's a abusive relationship
Thank you for the nice comments. SB
I miss the days when synths and drum machines used to be used to make other kinds of music besides disco-duck hip hop.
They do you just have to put in a little effort to find it.
Thank you for sharing the link ! Steve Brenner
Of course in the style of Klaus Schulze and, congratulations, very good music. Speaking of Klaus, I think that two of the very best albums of the many that he released are "Mirage" and "Body Love, Vol. 2".
Excellent!!!
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!!
Cool upload! The cover art made me click, the soundscape made me stay!
Oops.. found this by accident but.. thank you.. just my cup of tea..
Tea! Sorry but obviously I was into more than just tea hearing this beautiful music.. sunrises, sunsets, full moons, weather galore and landscapes.. including many that my dear friend studied in relationships to insects, flora and fauna.. your music is beautiful thank you x
It surprised me that this came out of the States. Looks and to an extent sounds very much like music coming out of the UK free festival scene and places like the fridge in Brixton.
Reminds me of my past.. the good and bad as i journeyed through life.. always feeling there was a destination somewhere.. the tapestry of life etc etc
Way ahead of its time! It sounds newer than 1985.
Do you think so? TG and the likes were doing this 10 years before this came out
@@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.
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.
@@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....).
Why are people saying this sounds ahead of its time?. Stuff like this was coming out of Germany 10 years before this was released
Tangerine Dream, for example.
Because a lot of people don't understand the history of electronic music.
Wow, this is great! Really ahead of its time! Thanks for taking the time to re-work and share it. ♥
ahead of its time? it sounded old school in 1985
@@iamyourfuture808 That depends how old you are.
So nice sound!
So good!
Really good stuff. Music and artwork are very immersive.
The artwork brought the click, the frequencies made it stick.
Nice, I thought it was a Dead show I haven’t heard but clicked and loved it as my background music while I get ready to do some Freeride Longboard, I’ll put some ‘thane lines for helping my ADHD brain to rest.
Same. Very dope.
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
My nervous system Thanks You.
All it needs is John Peel from the other side to introduce it.
music to hear when youre lying in a hypersleep chamber waiting for the alien babies to come grow in your chest
Are you a Mormon luv?
I am
Facts
That comment is gold lol
🤣🤣🤣👍👌
band is called Stellar, album is called Tunnel
@@JdjdbNdjdb There seems to be much confusion about this and I've also seen it credited as The Nightcrawlers. I listed it according to the info I found on Discogs.
No confusion. It's Steve Brenner / Pete Gulch collaboration as artists. Title is an amalgam of the 2 tracks.

@stevebrenner9538
I worked with Pete Gulch back in 78/79. Real nice guy. Love the Nightcrawlers.
I love finding new Berlin School i never knew existed.
Those tape getting old warbles at the end give me heaps of 80s-90s nostalgia
Really good.
Sublime, creative bliss
Beats so heavy I almost shit my pants
Almost?
100% dope. Thanks, Gulch/Brenner and AR.
"Nibana" was definitely inspired by this or its likes. Fucking cool as hell
favorite moment: when the hiss of the tape blends with the noise in the synth voice
* elevated *
It reminds me of a weird sci-fi novel i've read in the 90's about people who watched "blank" video tapes , because during the manufacture process they contain random noise. Then they watch those tapes as they discovered that sometimes this noise contains images, and apparently those images coincide with rare moments in history, like disasters, so those tapes are somewhat of convergence of the butterfly effect in chaos theory, just in reverse, chaos resonates back , or a question about "how random is random".
no idea how the book was called .
Nebulous 🤩
Tremendous stuff
Brilliant. Found you purely by chance. 😊
@ Hayley Anna Freemantle
@ Hayley Dante Tomkinson
Cool stuff!
I usually don't like Berlin school because it doesn't show a very original direction outside of the founders of it, but this one is a little more interesting.
Ok, so this was made roughly a year before I was born (Kanye West and myself share a birthday but not same year😁;although I’ve always been hit on by older women who loved Bowie)
Pete, love it, but I'm not hearing a single.
a gem
Incredible it sounds like Carbon Based Lifeforms but in the 80s
ingenious!!!!!!!!!!
Excellent,
It took me
This album is hot❤❤❤❤
Vibes...
Thank you
I’m not sold on this being old.
I’m jaded by dead internet theory and expect this to be a new creation with a fake story of age
Same. Wouldn't surprise me at all.

thank u
Subscribed!!
Some of this tracked/recorded right in Kitchener ontario??? Fuck yea...i was born this year right in waterloo😂 ...awesome vibes on this tape❤

Your profile pic is terrific, Alex.
Hey, I'm a heavy metal dude but this is kinda cool.
Recorded in Kitchener, Ontario? One of the least likely places that someone would record from, least that in 1985. Sounds like some of the stuff ive recorded albeit much cleaner. Its hard to get older tapes to sound really good even with modern day tech like Soundforge or AIR mastering plug ins. I've tried this too with various genres and it's hit or miss. Usually miss for me and having to go with a straight record to usb and running it from tape to my 4 channel compressor and dual band EQ. I found I got a little bit more control this way. Thanks for the upload
Nostalgia
That is a cool idea

I just subscribed 🤙
This sounds like a cross between Goblin and Jan Hammer.
Can anyone tell what tempo would be used in the first song? 🤔
Sublime
would be great coding music 😀
!!!!!
i like this. i produce occasionally with fruity loops and my casio hooked as a midi controller ; i never heard of berlin school but it has to be related to bowie in the late 70s?
A lot of people are forgetting to thumbs up......only 10%?

Hello. Thank you for the video. The sound quality is quite poor. If not already done, manually align the playback head for each cassette in order to maximize high frequencies. And to avoid speed variations like in side 2, use a good quality cassette tape enclosure (with screws) and transfer the tape reel of the old one into it. It might also help maintaining the tape in front of the playback head if the old cassette has only a foam thingy instead of a good quality metallic spring.
Yes... but... the ambience! The charm...?
Call it the "warp factor"?
I bet you’re fun at parties.
@stevebrenner9538Awesome! off to buy it!
Very depressing, thank you very much.... :/
1985. Aha, yes. I can place this. Be it in hindsight. Contrary to Peru and Nova, this is a bit more a clear pre-cursor to ambient as music genre.
Reminder that Eno released Discreet Music a decade prior to this ;)
@@Vingul ah, you mean that session he made with Ralf Hütter and Florian Schneider-Esleben? Of which he recorded like 20 reel to reel tapes, stuffed it in a suitcase, and whilst departing on a tram told Ralf "don't worry, you'll be famous too one day"? (Fact!)
After hearing Ralf tell that story is some doc, my appreciation of Brian Eno went from a lot to Sub Zero instantly...
Eno's always been a suck up, so did he to record companies. He let them hear those tapes and claimed he did it all himself.
Releasing music on your own title, paid from your own pocket, makes all the difference here. If it wasn't truly innovative, don't you think he'd rather had it published by a record label than be going to the trouble himself? I honestly don't know tbh. I do know Kraftwerk launched Autobahn in 1974.
The fact other musicians release similar music at different points in time doesn't mean much, especially when they're so-called pioneers. Only when a style, or a "sound" is picked up by different people, with different backgrounds and motivation to make music, and it ends up 'sounding like' you could say a genre is born. But it can still flop, mind you. Ever heard that track of "The Younger Generation - We Rap More Mellow"?
Musically speaking it's a different continent, but in a sense, it's those mechanisms at play. If it's unclear I'll elaborate further
@@honderdzeventienthat’s a lot of stretched rationalizations just to hate on Eno’s legacy, seemingly just to appear smart and interesting.
do we know if there’s any chance of a label today reissuing this? if you are reading this and have the ability to put in a good word somewhere please, I would be very grateful 🤍
