Yet another band a bit before my time...but awesome.


Just great chill out music honestly, my dad showed them to me...my mom doesn't like them, too 'techno' for her...even though it was before techno, though I imagine they had some influnce since they sound like very early electronic music. Though pink floyd was the true predicesor with their pre-recorded sounds on some albums and odd manipulated sounds.

When I was in nursing school I couldn't understand why they would not let me play Eye in the Sky over the PA system during our psych clinical rotation. Psychobabble, yeah, I could see why they objected to that one. But, really, what kind of negative psychological impact could have possibly been caused by "I am the eye in the sky Looking at you I can read your mind"?

Mammagamma brings to mind image of fast train running along and occasionally going through tunnels https://youtu.be/XXzOkCLdFwI

Ace of Swords gives me a 'mental move' of a knight going out to battle and adventure then coming back home.

IDK, that is one of my favorite songs of theirs...I mean it could maybe be seen to have slight 'stalkerish' undertones, but that isn't really my first thoughts when I hear it.
