^I am obviously speculating here, but you're referring to the first track right?
The parallel is actually not that far off, though I hadn't made it myself before. Breezy is perhaps the best way of describing that album. You're dead on. The whole album is like that, and it genuinely feels like having a shoreline transported straight into your living-room.
If you want something akin a tad more to symphonic Steve, then you should try Zombi on for size. Their Spirit Animal is a real humdinger
I interrupted some of the other stuff on the thread I was listening to to hear this.

Steve Roach is awesome but he surprisingly isn't included in the PA database.
yes, I suggested him for addition. Depending on the albums, he could be compared to Tangerine Dream (here in PA), Robert Rich (here in PA) or Brian Eno (here in PA).

Over the past year or so, I've considered recommending Murcof for addition, but I'd like some opinions before I do so. He's generally in the ambient techno vein of Biosphere, but it much more experimental and emotional.
Regardless of if I'm able to get them added, Murcof's music is excellent and I think anyone who enjoys the ambient side of progressive electronic music would surely enjoy his modern classical-influenced electronic style.

Tried to listen to Force Majeure on Spotify and was given message "This album is not available in United States". Carp! Ended up listening to Atem instead. Pretty good. A lot like Zeit, which I love.
Speaking of "Majeure", I see that the band Majeure, a project of A.E. Paterra (Zombi) is not listed here. Seems to me it should be, but I am no expert on Progressive Electronic. Anyone else familiar with it?

There's been no mention of Redshift either. I don't know if any of you have heard them. They are on PA but there are very few reviews on here to consider I'm afraid.
If the Berlin School is your bag, you have to check these guys out. You get a very Tangerine Dream-ish sound circa 74-77, full of pulsing sequencers and anologue synths. A huge bonus is the albums are twice as long as TD's too. If you're willing to overlook the fact they are clearly very influenced by the likes of Phaedra and Rubycon some 35-40 years ago and listen to the music on it's merits then you are on to a winner.
It's like discovering a dozen unreleased TD albums from the 70s. I have several of their albums and honestly, some of their work, particularly the albums Redshift and Ether, is clearly superior to the artists that inspired them.

Good to see this thread! As a huge fan of Schulze (my absolute PE favorite) and Tangerine Dream, I think I need to check out Redshift. I've actually read the reviews, and they also get a thumbs up from Andy Tillison of The Tangent. For those who don't know, his solo albums feature quite a bit Kosmiche style.
The Honing album mentioned is a favorite of mine. Got to check some of this other stuff out, especially Zombi.

You know something Gus, I thought I was the only one who like The Tangent's electronic excursions. I actually prefer them to some of the main tracks . I wasn't aware of Tillison's solo albums but heard he was planning on a TD-type album, and I'd be all over it.
Redshift cds are pretty hard to get hold of, but their widely available for download on amazon, and pretty cheap too. Enjoy.

Well, there is no "TD type album" really, and I don't think he's
planning to do one, but both solo albums, "Fog" and "Murk", have a lot
of that style (along with bass, drums, keys, guitar type stuff all done
by Tillison). "Fog" probably has the most Kosmiche stuff. Not sure if
that one is available anymore, but you can get "Murk" on the web site.
I'll look for the Redshift, thanks!
