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: ua-cam.com/video/HLtfgGN1MxY/v-deo.htmlsi=c-ohGqGh64kXLeMe
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
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 UA-cam and it's all fantastic.
@@fcipriano Yes, there is a Hassle album called Vernal Equinox! But the one I was referring to is by this gentle man, Steve Brenner, who released a record called New Found World under the name Vernal Equinox.
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.
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 Such music which is certaily more than a historical document deserves a reissue.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? 😂😂😂
@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
Reminds me of my dad, he would have been 61 now, wish i could still nerd out on music with him. I remember him telling us how he was so excited trading in all his records and tapes for CDs, embracing this new era of digital recording technology and once i became a teenager getting mildly upset at him for getting rid of his vast collection of music on vinyl and cassette. I was born in 1990 and have very fond memories of being a young child recording songs off the radio, basically making grade school mixtapes haha. Really awesome now that I look back on it from the digital future.
this is absolutely awesome!! i love this so much, listened to this probably 3 times today haha!! and you're even cooler for answering to comments 40!! years later! thanks so much for this hidden gem! ~geckwwo
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
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.
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".
Kitchener Ontario caught my eye, been there! Grew up in Etobicoke, my dads business in Richmond Hill and spent as much as i could of a half of every year up in Northern Ontario, near Haliburton. Ripleys believe it or not, now 2600 miles apart in Northern California. Similar to California, Toronto and surrounding areas, a magical wellspring of original and innovative music that shaped my life. This stellar sound reminds of laying in the water at the lake late at night watching the aurora borealis dancing above me and sweeping across me in the still dark reflecting waters 🌬️✨
@@jorgebarnardo9259 Gnosticism right? Of the Neoplatonic variety? I guess the articulations of that which cannot be described in words are still many ;)
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 😊
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.
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.
@@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....).
I honestly don't think it's older than 2023. There is nothing online whatsoever about anyone named Steve Brenner producing music except for these albums posted on discogs, Bandcamp and RYM with no reviews, no other copies, no older uploads, no comments. The oldest third party interaction I can find with any of this is Feb 2024. I've loved musica obscura for a long time. Anyone making music like this since the 80s would have rare tapes, niche blog posts, a bizarre, scattered and mysterious microcosm of information about them. There's nothing around this whatsoever. I smell an alias. Well constructed but I don't believe this is authentic.
I'm not even convinced this was actually made in the 20th century. Google Steve Brenner. Tell me if you find a single piece of information referencing anything that actually existed in 1985. It's so bizarrely hollow in terms of cultural footprint.
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
Tangerine Dream and Klaus Schulze vibes are strong with this one. Super enjoyable, thank you for sharing this music! I love stumbling upon albums and artists on UA-cam that I never heard of. Sometimes the algorithm is actually useful.
@@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. Steve's youtube channel: www.youtube.com/@stevebrenner9538/featured Check out his bandcamp page.
So damn cool to hear this 40 years later as if it was originally meant to open a time portal. Was this ever played on Brave New Waves? All these people calling out what genre they think it is. To me its like.. ambient techno-psyche or something. They used to say that violent video games make people act more violently. At least we aren't running around in dark black lit rooms listening to weird electronic music, gobbling pills and chasing apparitions like they do in Pac Man...
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

Sound matches the cover art 👌🏼 What an experience
Ho scoperto Steve Brenner una settimana fa per caso. Non riesco a smettere di ascoltarlo. Meraviglioso.
Recorded in Kitchener! Cool to see stuff like this coming from Ontario
More to come !
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..
Roland 9 pin dot matrix printer ! All we had back then.
Listening to this piece just inspired a creative epiphany. Thanks so much for sharing.
Exactly the same here! I love the vibey cassette artwork too. 😊

Sick album art
Excellent!!!
This is such a inspiration and just what I needed to finish some ideas I had for a song
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!!
Fantastic!
In the '70's, this would be called a "bummer".
This music was NOT excepted, allowed back in 85. It was underground like metal bands at that time.
Absolutely wonderful!
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.

Интересно так высота тона гуляет .) Это характерная черта звуков того времени.
Recorded in Kitchener, Ontario and Camden, New Jersey in April 1985

They do you just have to put in a little effort to find it.
