For those who need music to sleep like me, this album has been on high rotation on the bedside dresser playlist. This is by a man called Jürgen Müller from Germany. One of the most intriguing aspects of this album is the back story that comes with it. Basically, this was recorded in 1979 while Jürgen was studying oceanic science at the University of Kiel. After going on an underwater mission to film sea level toxicity a few miles offshore, young Jürgen was struck with inspiration to make a musical document of his experiences. He then created a mobile studio on a vessel and recorded Science of the Sea.
Whether this story is true or not I don't know, but it only adds to the romance and mystery that the music creates. Crackling synth layers and strange bubbles and pops propel you into an underwater sonic submarine and lets you drift the depths of the ocean all from the comfort of your headphones.
Give it a try next time you have trouble sleeping
