Michael Garrison - The Voyage

[@user-gu2fx4lj6y]

Good Journey Voyager and Michael to the Infinity

[@AlienAirMusic]

In 1979, Mike drove down the coast from Oregon with copies of his 1st album, asking local record stores to carry it. He met San Luis Obispo DJ Jim Moyer of KZOZ's 'Alien Ear Music' synth program (the eventual influence for my show on KXLU). I heard 'Escape' on Jim's show & was hooked. Jim's Audio Ecstasy store turned me on to many synth artists which became a major part of my early broadcasts. Even after almost 45 years, Mike's trademark sound is still timeless.

Got a lot of electronic music albums, and Garrison is among the best. So sad he died so young. Very underrated artist. Should have been huge

[@gansenkanaal1317]

Im 14 now and i listen allot to michael garrison he is just awsome (i dont know how someone can dislike this!!)

[@SpicyRikers]

Always lovely to see younger people getting into this stuff!

[@roscogalapagospel2069]

I've got this CD imported from USA about the year 2000. i remember this beautiful music when i was young. Nostalgy !

[@Jarlhugolastad]

Back in 1979 I got a letter from Michael, telling me about himself, for a review of this excellent album! I still love his music.

[@yari_4409]

Beautiful music !!!

[@herbertschmidt1719]

Mike was a great bloke. His music lives on but he is sadly missed.

[@mryoda_dna]

The whole album is amazing, just beautiful.

[@ChrisE72]

There is no way someone could dislike this! This is just amazing!

[@halkzorx]

Got this vinyl album when it came out and still own and play it!
Great music from a great composer who left this world way too early....

[@valeriematweeff3581]

Oh my god this reminds me of my childhood driving at night with my Dad. Ive never been able to find this music. Thank you for posting it.

[@lindarainbow9653]

Fabulous to hear this again. So sad to hear that Michael died so young. I once emailed him saying how much I loved his music and got a really thoughtful reply from the man himself.

[@Ramblin-Man]

This guy died too soon (ten years ago)...first, I imported his LPs by myself to Sweden, then the CDs. Worth every cent/krona...
Sequencer driven electronic music, Berlin School (analogue) - fanfreakingtastic! Never tire of his music after - what, 25 years?

[@Miler97487]

Michael Garrison hailed from the very unlikely place of Bend, Oregon. I live in Oregon and I can tell you right away Oregon isn't a hotbed of Berlin School electronic music. In those days I'm sure Garrison had to travel to Portland, if not Los Angeles, to get his equipment. As an Oregonian I get blown away when I discovered music like this being produced in my neck of the woods, a type of music I usually have to look to German artists for.

[@vfm66798]

@@Miler97487 As a German I can tell you, that I never listened to music like this before in the 1970s. I fell over "The Voyage" in 1981. With the 1980s radio stations began to play music aside the mainstream - though in rather rare radio broadcasts. May be electronic instruments were available in Germany, but analogue synths were expensive, and if you were not "part of the scene", it was rather impossible to get in touch with this music. But Michael Garrisons music is still unique. The octaved bass is the dominant sound in his music. Someone must like it or not.

[@TheAotsFTW]

michael garrison's music is amazing

[@salvadory1103]

finally got this now rare cd - and another album eclipse- amazing berlin school electronics from the pacific northwest! RIP

[@alexUCC0KEFG-SKHt9I6Pt73ZrNQ]

I discovered this song when i was young coz my father is a great fan of this type of music. hard to find in france, i bought the CDs during 90's.

[@tommyboy1861]

Some of the best space/electronic ever made!

[@eifelwalder2605]

Absolutely.

[@tapewolf]

Oh my god. I've been trying to find this album for more than 20 years.

[@siertvvl]

love it ,great sound

[@blackknight2545]

Great song! Crazy Story, how I discovered it on the radio..
At one evening, i heard this, i only understand... "Voyager.." or so, and didnt know the name of the artist.. so i hit quickly the "record" Button of the tape Recorder.
After many years i found it again on a playlist from an Internet radio station!

[@keile61]

this is just great, better than oldfied and jarre like him so much, he is unique, he created such a great Sound of his own, unbelivable liked him in the 80 s and now

[@DaiBei]

I agree with you. Maybe you will also like Michael Rother (my favorit from him is Katzenmusik)

[@eifelwalder2605]

He remained true to his style… deeply inspirational and honest, a big loss.

[@vfm66798]

@@DaiBei He should better listen to Erlkönig. Erlkönig is not Katzenmusik. 😂

[@ogrebattle22763]

Great track....
