I heard this really cool song in L.A in 1994 on 94.7 Wave so I recorded it onto a tape cassette but I didn't know the songs title or artist until just a couple weeks ago when I used my iphone app called Shazam and I played the song and it ID'd it. Twenty one years later and I finally found who played this great song by Johannes Schmöling
Like others below, I am just now getting the artist and song name identified. I taped the song onto cassette years ago, from the Hearts of Space radio program. I only had it listed as by "Johannes Schmaly". Have enjoyed listening to this over the years. Thanks to the internet for tracking down the information.
This song got a lot of air play on the Wave 94.7 during the New Age craze of the '80's. A very "creatively" composed melody but being he was with Tangerine Dream I would expect that.
+kwixotic First heard in the 80s. It was this song that first made me aware that JS was no longer a member of Tangerine Dream. It was introduced as "by a former member of TD...It is still one of my favorite on the road songs. Yes, it got a lot of play in the New Age 80s along with Ray Lynch's "Pastorale," which I still play a lot.
Proof that electronica does not necessarily mean soullessness. The inspiration for it was a Soviet film of 1983 called 'Farewell'. This was about a small village in Siberia called Matyoroy and its inhabitants' resistance to its flooding to make way for a hydro-electric dam construction project.
It's from a Soviet book Abschied von Matjora/Farewell to Matyora about a village that had to be evacuated in order to create an artificial lake to support the hydroelectric power station. Matjora is the name of the village.
