only found Tycho through RP (along with so much). This track is my alarm tone for when I need it in the morning - so gives me a jolt when it comes on during the day!

I hit it to 8. This is my kind of music, and I too look up much music thanks to RP. Moby is but one of few artists that I've com to love thanks to RP.

Tycho would have been nothing without Kepler.

I guess maybe one could retort that Kepler would have been nothing without Tycho.

This reminds me a bit of Dif Juz - a British studio band from the 80's that unfortunately only made a few albums.

Interesting comments lizardking.  

I am not fond of listening to techno-ambient music in an automobile.  I find I miss too much.  But I will put it on on a long road trip after several hours of actively listening to other kinds of music.

And FWIW:  6 => 7

 
I'm the opposite, at least with regards to listening to techno-ambient music, or electronica, basically if it's beat heavy I like the sub response in my truck and the powered high-end notes come out pretty clean, surprisingly.  Plus, at only 1/2 volume on my deck, I can pretty much NOT hear road noise even with windows down. 

Classical on the other-hand, that's where I like hearing it w/ phones or at home with my Polk tower speakers.

Yes, I remember that show; this is reminiscent now that you brought it up.  The host's name was Jack Horkheimer; I remember by the 1990s he took to wearing a silver "Members Only" style jacket.

 
Sadly he passed away, I remember him as well and that little PBS segment.

I've always heard Ty-ko. Of course, the way I pronounce my first name might affect that.

Been hearing this album on SOMA FM's Groove Salad and like it quite a lot.  

Good to hear it here.  This falls somewhere between the ethereal journeys of Lanterna and the accessibility of Explosions In The Sky to me.

My son saw a show by Tycho at a local record store and got a signed copy of the CD. Hadn't heard of them, but I'm impressed that he had.

But, I could do this myself at home. It's a simple derivative of Tangerine Dream.

This guy (Scott Hansen) is currently on tour with a live band - playing mostly small to medium sized clubs.

Just saw him in Chicago and was very impressed.  Although his albums have a polished EDM feel, the live re-creation with guitars, bass, keyboards and analog drums is something to behold.  The drummer and guitarist in particular are crack musicians.

 
I saw them perform in San Francisco, and indeed it was mesmerizing to watch them recreate this sound live. The drummer was tight.

If you dig this check out the Mercury Program...less ethereal and more rock-and-rolly, but beautiful, simple melodies like Tycho.
