Jam out to 80's music! Post some music and let's talk about it.

Rules

All aspects of the LW TOS apply.
Be constructive and don't gatekeep. People have different tastes in music; deal with it.
If the source is YouTube, use the actual YouTube URL and not some random Invidious/Piped link. This prevents dead links as those go on/offline or break due to Google changes while also letting people's browser plugins, Lemmy clients, etc automatically re-write those to their preferred instances. Feel free to put alternate links in the post body, though.
Submissions must be from the 80s (1980 - 1989) based on either recorded or release date. e.g. if it was recorded in 1989 but released in 1990, we're not going to split hairs over that; post away. Covers made in the 80s of older music is absolutely allowed and encouraged.

Never heard of Vollenweider before but the song's pretty interesting -- apparently he's playing an "electroacoustic harp of his own design".

Its always nice to discover good music, and a place like this, where you can share tunes with similar minded people, helps precisely with that.

The harp sounds are definitely special, but I'm very pleasantly surprised by the bass sound and tone achieved by this particular piece. The cartridge in the turntable also gives a lot of definition to the audio, but not to the point of being harsh. I think the first time I listened to this album back in the 80s, or 90s, it was recorded on standard casette... so there's quite a leap in quality this time around.
