Absolutely essential collection by
The Nightcrawlers
(Pete and Tom Gulch and Dave Lunt)
​of kosmische electronic space music
created with analog synthesizers
in the early 1980s
and originally released on self-produced cassettes.

Available on double LP with 28 page booklet.
​I purchased the double CD version (+booklet) because it has four tracks not on the vinyl set.
​You can stream the album
in the Bandcamp player above


​If you love the sound of abstract analog synth and sequencer music in the same realm as early Tangerine Dream, Popol Vuh, and Klaus Schulze, this stuff is for you. But I like this much better than any of those better-known artists!

All of these recordings were made live
with a JVC stereo boombox
​utilizing the built-in condenser mic on the recorder. Recorded in a garage!
It sounds great. A very alive sound.
This is homemade dream music
that will take you places, believe me!
