GOOD TUNE!  This is the first time that I have heard this tune. That is why we come here,  Thanx RP!

Back in the early '60s, I had a large Tyco H-O train setup. It was totally cool!  LOL!

the over and over again echo-y bell sound is driving me to the PSD.

The rest of this album is also great worth a listen.

Just a suggestion that you add a "meh" rating available for commenting.  And I'm not saying this about this song, just think it would be appropriate for the times.  And I am enjoying this song.

Is he related with the famous medieval astronomer? :-)

Would love to hear 1969 here on RP!

This music makes me feel so sad, like I missed something I shouldn't have.

That was his brother, Tyco.   People often get that confused.  
Then there was his great grand father Tycho Brahe.........he would really have  grooved to this.

Then there is the Tyco of Security and Fire Protection and other things (formerly based in Switzerland, now merged with Johnson Controls and based in Cork, Ireland for Tax reasons)

Interesting.  Maybe that is why I started listening actively to what otherwise sounds like regular ambient electronica.

Boards of Canada as a benchmark for quality....   I listened to Tomorrow's Harvest earlier today.

Most excellent... followed Future Islands... thought it was an extended version of FI.

This is why I love RP. Such a great mix and Tycho is the sort of eclectic obscure artist I really enjoy. Most people would not include something like this. Thank you.

I agree. In fact, thanks to RP I recognized several of his songs that are used in the non-violent video game HOHOKUM (2014). So you're not far off!

Pleasant and upbeat.

Tycho with the silver nose and the bad bladder infection.  Wouldn't have been very famous without my main man, Johannes, making sense of his observation numbers.

I did a science project on Kepler's three laws of planetary motion in 7th or 8th grade.  I made a working model out of Legos with a sun and a planet going around it in a nearly circular ellipse and sweeping out the same area of the ellipse for a given time period.  It was cool.  I got a blue ribbon.

A beautiful floating and dreamy track!{#Roflol}
What disturbs me somehow, is the change of the beat from 4/4 to 2/4 in the middle.

Not sure if this is the one you're referring to but he does still maintain a website: https://blog.iso50.com/

I follow it regularly for his excellent musical recommendations mostly, but to agree with your comment - he is a fantastic designer too and posts a lot of design-y stuff too. He's got good taste, I think.

I acknowledge when something sounds "like something else."  But it doesn't diminish its beauty or sonic delight.

If you like this - check out the rest of the album - lots of strong songs (chill electronica, but with beautiful melodies) on this disc.

What's more! the slide show is great too..
 
Posted 10 years ago by terryp17    [ Reply ]
I'm quite a huge fan of this style of music but I didn't know Tycho.
So, once again, THANKS A LOT, BILL!   {#Notworthy}

For those who love this, you may listen to Tunturia's stuff.

No, not forgetable...I just think it's sort of not impressive but I won't forget it. Your six works for me, too.

It's like someone said, "Yeah, I like Boards of Canada and all, but you can't dance to it."  And these guys said, "Here, try this."
