This song develops quite nicely. It has a catchy melody with a great use of sounds. I give it a solid 8.

Yes. Younger Brother on RP is a bit like Porcupine Tree- you recognise it immediately, your brain says "Well, YB/PT again" and then you have to listen to the whole thing again as it's so damn good.

Carry on, I say. Can't get enough of this.

Could almost mistake this opening for a Tangerine Dream composition. I would bet someone from Younger Brother heard a TD track and said "Hey, I like that sound..." Tangram, Force Majeur, and other 70s - 90s TD albums had the esthetic of this intro. Sounds don't die, they get recycled.

I've been on two long-distance (well, for the UK) train journeys lately and I really wish I'd had this song on my laptop to listen to, as it so well captures what I often think as I stare out of the window at the landscape scrolling by. This song gives me the willies, and that's a good thing - as the late great John Peel often said, good music should scare you a little. A rare 10 from the peripatetic Nottingham jury.

There's a streaming site from which you can listen to some of YB's output, which is handy for me as, despite this lot being a UK band, I'm damned if I can find their CDs in any record shop, even the 'alternative' ones.

The 25 second tease on Amazon does not provide a good guide to this song, album or other music... The layers are very well done. The ear worm leit motifs tie it together very well... This is a song hard to forget and it cycles again and again in memory...

Trance music is what some reviewers called their other albums... Nothing wrong for a new world where people use machines for walking, running, exercise and seldom are out and about the broader world...

I've bumped it to a "10"... Yes, If find it that good...

A rare 10 from the goose-bumped Nottingham jury, and a big thank you to RP for introducing me to this band.

From the Wikipedia entry on Younger Brother: "The band's name is taken from a Kogi prophecy; the Kogi regarded themselves as the Older Brother and say that the destruction of the Earth and environment would be by Westerners called Younger Brother." Like, heavy stuff, dude :o)
 
Never heard of this South American tribe.
Looked up Kogi on Wiki -http://www.radioparadise.com/rp_2.php#name=Music&file=songinfo&song_id=42438&start=30

I gotta get this album, but am having a hard time finding it on Vinyl - which is now my preferred format for music.  Every time I hear it i have to stop what I'm doing (working) and turn up volume.  Big thumbs up. {#Clap}

Well, this is a turn up. An entire page of song comments and all positive. 

Now - don't spoil it kids.

I 'found' Younger Brother through RP and have really enjoyed their output this year. Interesting, quirky and inventive, what's not to like. But enough about me. . . if you like this track then I'd certainly recommend looking further into their catalogue of work.

Yes, (also, note what should be cherry trees)  and upon reenjoying (is that a word?) this whole thing, I'm inclined to bump it to a nine. In fact, I will. And did.  {#Music}

I've heard that influence as well. A shame Alan's last album 'A Valid Path,' which sounds like Younger Brother used as a template, did not generate any interest. I even uploaded a couple of the tracks from AP's Valid Path here a few years ago but both were soundly rejected.
