I bought this CD some time around 1993 or so. I took it with me when I traveled from NYC (my home) to visit a friend in the high desert near Moab, Utah in 1994. We played it out of the car stereo speakers while we were parked on a mountain top in the middle of the high desert under the stars at night and danced in a small group of people. Obviously with some beverages, etc. I'll never forget listening to this while I could see the stars not just by looking up but by looking straight across. There were stars even at my feet. People who live in this part of the country have this fortune.
@Basmatine: Perhaps you heard me there unconsciously?!?! Here I am, almost 30yrs later: I played this cd all night long on repeat play one night in 1994, under the dark stellar skies of Moab UT, while camping near the shimmering waterfall pools above town: There were so many stars that clear night you felt like you were in outer space. My speakers were aimed skyward like a radio telescope. I imagined these sound waves emanating outward into the void for many light years to come. That some intelligent alien race might receive them & be inspired to save us all.
I'm surprised it only has 791 views. This record was a HUGE inspiration for me. Solid all the way through. I also got to see him in Pontiac, Michigan when he was doing a tour for this record. Blew me away and I have been a fan ever since.
Saw him play in around 1993 (holy crap, 27 years ago) supporting Orbital at Bristol University. I remember Orbital play on top of a scaffold in the centre of the hall while Vapourspace was set up underneath. Happy daze
What 92/3??? Man this one pulled me in! Into the abyss and depths of the oceans known as electronic music It forever remains a powerful listen each time I hear it You never reach for the pause / stop NEVER!
This album brings me back to a rave at a random fairgrounds where I saw Vapourspace live at 15/16. I remember that opening synth via gravitational arch of ten just cracking my brain open. It turned out to be life-changing, inspiring me to pursue other artists and solidified a deep love for electronic music. To this day, I can't say I've seen many artist who comes remotely close to this in a live performance setting. Mark Gage was definitely a pioneer.
This album was huge for me too. I still feel like nobody captures this raw analog lushness with a decidedly Roland tilt as well. Plastikman too but different. I used to listen to this and then go program an SH-101 or Juno-1 to sound similar to his patches. Big inspiration. I feel like nobody has really upped this particular bar Mark Gage set. It can be listened to on repeat for forever and still feel fresh for years on end. I can't listen to much electronica from this era, but this one never gets old.
I saw VapourSpace supporting Orbital on the Are We Here? Tour in '94, Coventry Poly, I think. I have the CD somewhere too. A great blast from the past. Thanks for sharing.
I saw exactly the same at Leeds Uni on the same tour, strangely, he came on after Orbital. A lot of of the crowd dispersed after Orbital, those who knew, stayed. Awesome. Sweat dripping form the ceiling!
Definitely opened doors for me. Saw this cd in an underground music magazine and bought it. I listened to this cd while tripping on acid in my room. Started going to raves in los Angeles then the rest is history. Used to go to raves by myself because my friends were not into it. Had a blast all through the 90's and early 2000's.
i went to many raves here in the UK from 88-92 starting aged 14. i found so many friends, never once was i hurt, robbed etc. raves create a family vibe, i hope you are still finding that vibe where ever you may be bro
Love it! Still have the vinyl which I bought on release - searched it out on UA-cam today from hearing the passing of Colin Faver - one of the best UK's DJ techno/house - who introduced this to the masses. Thanks for uploading
I originally heard this in 1993 when I was 21. 2 years later I had it on Compact Disc. CD's were much longer lasting back then. Sadly an ignorant and destructive person completely wrecked it because he didn't like techno at all. But I found it on UA-cam. Thankyou UA-cam.
I have this CD somewhere. There was a review of it in either Future Music or Keyboard Magazine (US) and I was so surprised to find it in a store in Sweden.

what year did this come out? early 90s ya? I'm born in 84 only discovering this now in 2022. fucking radical. I was always a fan of early plus 8 tunes. somewhow this record escaped me. totally normal since it likely wan't on the wrold wide web at the time, and it wasn't in my local record shop. so glad i found you vapourman
Ohhhh yerrr 👌 what can I say,, awesome appsolutely awesome stuff 🤘😝 my puzzle pieces are coming together nicely, shit it's taken a while, Magic ✨ 💚 It thank youuuuuuuu
summer 1995 whizzing round the madrid metro with eyes like movie cameras high on whisky words sun fucking themes from vapourspace and haunted dancehall
What the hell is this? I feel like I heard this album before, like when I was a child. Similar thing happened to me when I first heard Pink Floyd, it felt like I knew all the songs.
First time I heard this, I was unknowingly helping a guy called "Mad Dog" steal a car! Ford Fiesta XR2 it was. Gave him a push to jump-start the car. I didn't know he was a wrong one at the time, nor did I know the car wasn't his.
Let's face it: The guy did one real big thing, "Gravitational arch of 10", the rest is completely average synth stuff that noone was interested in, and for a reason in my opinion. Uninspired.
Obviously, the rest of us here are not as sophisticated a listener as you are Bernhard and our aesthetic standards are far, far below your impeccable ones. I apologize on behalf of everyone else stupid enough to appreciate this album for you having to come by and set us straight. God bless you for your generosity.
@@sacky4life Well, that's life. Some like stuff that others don't. Noone talked about stupid. And didn't I say "in my opinion"? If you like the album - fine. Enjoy.
Average? Agree Arch of 10 was stone cold classic (played it out a few times myself), but the rest of the album isn’t just filler - it’s one long speed-fuelled acid trip basically, of which Arch of 10 is just one element. Bloody brilliant album if you ask me. And yes they don’t make em like this anymore. Check out Syzygy though, for a similar vibe but with a more British Rising High style to it.
Syzygy - Down the rabbit hole i go so. Love finding new music like this, I call it you-surfing cause i go from one page to another quicker than it can even load sometimes < lmao

This album is life. Seriously a timeless classic capturing all the best of early-era electronica, techno, and ambient... The 90s of the future.

Dj Shred I also visited Moab in 94! I didn’t buy this CD until 95 though, but it inspired me to make electronic music.

Awesome!@ Well it hasnt been light years, but it has been almost 30 years!@@EclipseAgency
One of the best techno albums of all time

Saw him on the NASA See The Light Tour. The bill was Young American Primitive, Vapourspace, Orbital, Aphex Twin & Moby. Great night.
^ Wow! Incredible line-up...must've been pure joy
What year was that show you saw???
I had this cd...it goes all the way thru....love it

This album, Tales of Ephidrina and A Brief History Of Ambient: Vol. 3 were on repeat for me in college.
one of the most important albums of the era, where people still play
ed synths
This album was huge for me too. I still feel like nobody captures this raw analog lushness with a decidedly Roland tilt as well. Plastikman too but different.

Start to finish, one of the best albums ever
I saw VapourSpace supporting Orbital on the Are We Here? Tour in '94, Coventry Poly, I think.
I have the CD somewhere too.
A great blast from the past.
Thanks for sharing.

This is a true work of genius! I only listen to it once in a while. I had on tape. I have been trying to find it on CD for a long time.
Definitely opened doors for me. Saw this cd in an underground music magazine and bought it. I listened to this cd while tripping on acid in my room. Started going to raves in los Angeles then the rest is history. Used to go to raves by myself because my friends were not into it. Had a blast all through the 90's and early 2000's.

Such great times, too bad I never saw them live...what a treat.
On my favorites list now, thanks man
Love it! Still have the vinyl which I bought on release - searched it out on UA-cam today from hearing the passing of Colin Faver - one of the best UK's DJ techno/house - who introduced this to the masses. Thanks for uploading
Sehr schönes & zeitloses Techno Album….
From the golden age of Techno!!! 🙌💕🔥
So glad to have discovered this classic again!
luv this old classic
I remember the first time I got this and premiered it at Luv-A-Fair in Vancouver, Canada. The dance floor went crazy!
I originally heard this in 1993 when I was 21. 2 years later I had it on Compact Disc. CD's were much longer lasting back then. Sadly an ignorant and destructive person completely wrecked it because he didn't like techno at all. But I found it on UA-cam. Thankyou UA-cam.

Masterpiece Album

So good work!
It's called spacewalk
What the hell is this? I feel like I heard this album before, like when I was a child. Similar thing happened to me when I first heard Pink Floyd, it felt like I knew all the songs.
I just listen to this record for the first time ever a few days ago.. don't make em like this anymore
For Shure !
I heard this music when I was being assaulted once.
First time I heard this, I was unknowingly helping a guy called "Mad Dog" steal a car! Ford Fiesta XR2 it was. Gave him a push to jump-start the car. I didn't know he was a wrong one at the time, nor did I know the car wasn't his.
